This doc is a bit wordy but Im hoping this will let you know what you need to successfully get your ZUMspot Rpi working using a Windows PC.I found configuring the ZUMspot to be as easy as the Openspot and Im not a Linux person.It is purchased via email from Bruce Givens, VE2GZI ( ve2gzigmail.com ).Send him an email stating youll like to buy one and hell reply pretty quickly (for me in just a few hours).
He produces them in batches so you might be put on a waiting list. He ships from NY and from the time I paid until it was in my hands was less than 1 business week. It does not come with a 220 header which is needed to attach the ZumSpot and if you do not already have one lying around, Adafruit sells them here. There is only one micro USB port and the HDMI connector is mini. Thankfully you no longer need to hook up a keyboard or monitor to set up the ZUMspot if you go with the Pi Zero W, but here are some OPTIONAL adapters to enable you to do so if you want to dabble deeper into using the Pi Zero W for some other project. Other things that allow the Pi 3 Model B to command a higher price is more ram and a faster multi-coreprocessor neither of which is much of an advantage to running a ZUMspot. I read that the Pi-Star image fit on a 2 GB Micro SD card and since I had a few lying around, of unknown speed, I went ahead and used what I had and it worked. On Amazon the price of 2, 4, 8, 16 GB cards are nearly all the same. See if you too already have one you can use or buy what you feel is a good value. Note that Pi-Star normally does not write to the card except during configuration which explains why the speed is not a big issue. I hate plugging and unplugging the power connector from a Pi to reboot it and this makes life easier. It can be downloaded here (you want the version with RPi in the name.) I downloaded the.ZIP version as the burning tool in the next section can use the.ZIP directly. Usb Security 2.20 Username And Registration Key Download The PiDownload the Pi-Star image to your machine. Since Im using windows, I used Etcher which I found in a link here. Install and run it to burn your image to your micro-sd card. Usb Security 2.20 Username And Registration Key Software Configuration IsThis is especially important if you use a Pi Zero W as later the Pi-Star software configuration is only performed in a web browser and the Zero has no wired ethernet. How do you know what IP address your Pi is One way is to log into your router and in the DHCP section for IP address requested, look for the name Pi-Star. Another way is to connect a monitor to the HDMI port of your Pi and in the text scrolling by during bootup, the IP address of the Pi will be shown.). By adding more than one AP, Pi-Star will automatically switch to another AP when the currently connected one goes away. Enter the key and then click on Save (and connect) to save your settings.
