I've been using Raspberry Pi devices for a while now on individual projects on the channel and I thought it would be fitting to step back a level and help people get started with Raspberry Pi on their own and begin experimenting with this awesome device.
A quick breakdown of the parts list can be seen here: https://youtu.be/2dN4hos5_6M
Things you need to setup and use Raspberry Pi:
- W3DJS Raspberry Pi Ham Radio Image v2.0 http://bit.ly/W3DJSRasPiv2ImgCompressed
