In Reply to: That's a kit with some of the same stuff that the rendu uses...... posted by Cut-Throat on June 10, 2024 at 18:01:43:
. . . you mean Amazon is trying to sell me stuff I don't need? I'm shocked.
Okay, so here's what I'm understanding that I do need:
1. RPi 4B board. The Roon community agrees with you that 1GB is adequate for an endpoint, but for $5 more I'll probably go with the 4GB board just because.
2. Case. As I understand it, if I get the right case, then I don't need a fan or heat sinks. The Flirc case is recommended if it isn't sold out. It's inexpensive and looks good.
3. PSU (wall wart). The on/off switch looks like a convenience. Is there any harm in just unplugging it when I know I won't be using it for a while? That's what I do with the mRendu.
4. Micro SD card. Some of them come with the default Raspbian OS preinstalled. I will be replacing it with RoPieee, but it seems like I should make sure everything works as a baseline before I start tinkering.
5. Micro SD card/USB reader. I think I need one of those. They are cheap and easy to find.
6. Balena Etcher tool. I've used it before. It's a free download.
7. Micro HDMI adapter. I get that it isn't needed for streaming, but don't I need a monitor + keyboard + mouse for initial setup? I can borrow a monitor from myself, but it won't connect to the Pi without an adapter.
What am I missing?
. . . in theory, practice and theory are the same; in practice, they are different . . .
