What's Needed - Building your own Digipeater from A to Z - Part 1

Today’s video will be the start of another video series. This series will be on building your own digipeater from A to Z running on this inexpensive Linux device here that is similar to a Raspberry Pi and runs the same Raspbian OS that the Raspberry Pi runs.

Found your channel for meshtatic, live these videos too

[@The_Comms_Channel]

Welcome and thanks! I'm actually working on an updated digipeater series coming soon!

[@KempOutside]

Looking forward to Part 2!

[@The_Comms_Channel]

Thanks! Coming soon!

[@greenleaf44]

lets go!

[@markphillips8019]

Why do you think that RPi's are still hard to find? They are available in heaps everywhere. Microcenter is a local distributor to me and they have hundreds of all types in stock.

[@The_Comms_Channel]

They were at the time the video was made since it's a little over a year old now. Luckily they are easy to find now as you mentioned.

[@leskeegan9033]

Do you have a link for your github page?

[@Cynical1800]

Did I miss something? RPi is hard to find?

[@The_Comms_Channel]

Yes, it's been an issue for years now, but it's finally starting to go back to normal.

Would VNC work as an alternitive to SSH

[@The_Comms_Channel]

VNC won't work since this is command line only. No desktop environment is installed.

[@BobBob-il2ku]

Is it for APRS?

[@The_Comms_Channel]

Yep, this is a APRS digipeater. We have one at higher elevation for us to use.
