Hopefully you've reached this page because you've read the system overview and want to know more - if not, we suggest you do spend 5 minutes reading the system overview.

OK - now you've read that, you want to get started! The next thing is really to read the hardware overview - sorry but there's load of useful information in there, such as where to buy the various bits that you need to send pictures across the shack.

Once you've read the Hardware overview, you can see there's not much to it! So here's the shopping list:

  • Raspberry Pi, preferably a version 3

Believe it or not, that's all you need to send pictures across the shack! But to do this you will have to read another section of the user manual and follow some instructions! So go and have a look at the initial set up guide - follow those instructions and using QPSKRF Ugly mode, you will be able to send pictures across the shack.

However, if you do not want to always have a computer connected, you'll need to buy the touchscreen.

  • Longwave....
