I'm compiling #uboot to support #lepotato #s905x for #fedoraiot ... There doesn't seem to be a more canonical way of doing it... #gibberish

#LePotato, aka my "HamPotato", is now pulling double duty as a #digipeater and PC interface to my #icom IC7100, plus it's serving my public #gopher page.

The screen res issue was "fixed" with an HDMI dummy plug, and #wsjtx installed easily enough. On my main PC, #GridTracker receives data from WSJTX over the WIFI.

As it's currently configured, though, I need to log into the potato via vnc to switch between #DireWolf and WSJTX. The next step in the project will be automating this changeover.

#LePotato is now installed into an RPI 3B case. The board is a bit loose in the case despite the RPI fitting snuggly, so the board is apparently a slightly different size than the pi.

Direwolf and rigctl configuration was quick and easy, copying over from the pi without issue. It's now up and running as a digipeater and igate.

So far, the only issue I've encountered is the screen resolution, which seems to be stuck at 720x576 for some reason. 🫤

Recently received a #LePotato board by @librecomputer.

My goal is to use this as a more power efficient replacement to my #RaspberryPi 3b, which currently serves as an #aprs #digipeater, #igate, and remote #wsjtx host.

First impressions: the documentation is pretty lacking, but the board itself seems well made.

More to come!

@ComputerGuy_1028 Welcome. You might want to follow @geerlingguy who just happens to be working on a project with the #LePotato by @librecomputer

BENCHMARKFEST 2023 UPDATE

Le Potato testing is complete as is retesting of the Inovato Quadra and Rock 5B. Still waiting to hear back about a possible trade to acquire a Raspberry Pi 4B. Retesting of Mini PCs will commence later tonight.

Heatsink for "Le Potato" has arrived! Benchmarking may resume!

@Stark9837 @Edent In recent days I have read a couple articles suggesting the #LePotato as a good replacement for the #RaspberryPi 3B - I have not used it personally so can't say how compatible it is with a real Raspberry Pi though. Be aware the ethernet connection is only 10/100, not GB.

The hiatus is over, I’ve posted to my blog again!

After setting up #Homebridge multiple times due to power loss related OS corruption, I decided this time would be the time I would document the process. I also switched #LePotato over to #Raspbian in the hopes that it will handle the semi-frequent power outages more gracefully.

So here’s my guide to setting up Homebridge on Raspbian and getting your first plugin (a #Kasa plugin) installed and configured!

I can't get sound working on the #LePotato core.

Everything else is a delight, but sound is critical to enjoying these #RetroGames.

What little I can learn suggests that #RetroPie and #Armbian have dropped (sound) support for Pi2 equivalent hardware. Fair enough.

While I can compile alternate C flags with the best of them, $55 will get me a Pi4 equivalent #LibreComputer #Renegade - so I'll try that next.

Here is (almost) everything you need to know if you are considering the Le Potato as a viable #raspberrypi replacement.

#Arcade custom build update:

- #Arcade1Up uses such thin wires for the control deck, I was almost unable to reuse the stock controls.
- Pac-Man Legacy uses a sideways monitor so I've been learning how to rotate each app.
- #EmulationStation looks fantastic, though.

Surprisingly, the controls feel a bit more responsive in #RetroArch on a #LibreComputer #LePotato than they were on the native #Android board from #Arcade1Up. But there's almost no noticable difference (both very good).

After accidentally nuking my #LePotato last weekend, I spent the late hours getting #homebridge set up again and catching the first episode of #TheLastOfUs.

Having not played the game since it’s original release, I enjoyed the familiarity of the first episode as well as rediscovering the characters and the world. Really excited to see if #hbo can pull this off.

Oh, and all our home automations are back. So that’s cool too!

PacMan Conversion to #RetroPie on #Armbian on #Libre #LePotato update:

- I continue to do more in the RetroPie menus than I use #Ansible for.
- #Ansible is still a very worthwhile accelerant to the build and configuration process.
- A USB keyboard switch is very helpful.
- The classic games I want to play run quite well on the LePotato (#RaspberryPi 2 equivalent.)

Today is probably heatsink day. The two heatsinks from the #librecomputer #lepotato have also arrived....

New tests SBCs arrived. Let's see how well we can support these SBCs.

#klipper #mainsail #mainsailOS #3dprinting #librecomputer #lepotato

With Raspberry PIs SBCs still hard to find or out of my price range, I found this Libre Le Potato Board for $35.00 bucks, doesn't have the WiFi - but does have 2gb of ram, It seems to run #Armbian fairly well, but I haven't had a chance to try out any hats or do any real tests on it. It does seem to have a overscan problem with this display, but otherwise it's good.
I didn't mind adding USB WiFi - kind of reminds of how things were with the Rpi 2B.

I want to set up a #PersonalWiki for notes in general and for planning #TTRPGs in particular, with Markdown or something similar and hyperlinks between notes. I could run one on a webserver on my single-board computer #LePotato. Which Wiki server would people recommend?
