Hey guys, I'm new to the Outernet and just received my Dreamcatcher. While we are waiting for Skylark for the Dreamcatcher, I wanted to connect through a my RaspberryPi. Does anyone have the Skylark image that they could share? Thanks!

apt upgrade will install 5.30 version of armbian including kernel 4.11.4-sunxi which will NOT boot on the Dreamcatcher as of now. Don't upgrade to this kernel/firmware yet!

For those who interested about, ethernet connection works out of the box with this under Armbian.
iperf3 shows almost 100 Mbit/s in my test under LAN.http://www.tp-link.com/us/products/details/cat-5523_TL-UE300.html

A better place for this might be a wiki, but I couldn't really find a list anywhere.
So far I've got this to report
Working:
Sandisk 16gb microSD HC Class 4 - Slow but works, seeing upwards of 85% iowait on heavy I/O
Any RTL2832U-based SDR
HackRF One - Running 2017.02.1 firmware and software compiled and ran fine - didn't do thorough testing
Amazonbasics 4-port USB 2.0 HUB w/5amp power supply (Shows in 'lsusb' as "Terminus Technology Inc. 4-Port HUB")
NOT working:
Samsung EVO Select 32gb microSD - Filesystem corruption with heavy I/O
Tronsmart USB 2.0 to Fast Ethernet Adapter (ASIX AX88772A chip, white in color) - Shows as eth0 but link on switch flashes on and off, won't get a steady link (Known good, works fine on other devices) Maybe lack of power?

Hey guys,
After loading the image on the SD card and booting the Dreamcatcher, no "outernet" wifi network appears... I thought it might be the SD card or image, so I tried it again with a new card, and the same thing happened. Am I doing something wrong?

The current online documentation for dreamcatcher is "adequate" to load the operating system. I can see from the forum questions there is a blend of expertise ranging from beginner to very advanced users. In order to setup the experimenter for success and reduce frustration I wonder if this community could also help build up a version 0.1 instruction manual? I am sure there are plenty of individuals who have the day 1 excitement of being an early adopter and wanting to get this up and running quickly. I was thinking the manual could be a living document and a comprehensive listing of the forum questions...pictures are very useful. I am not sure the best way to accomplish this (wiki, sharepoint site, youtube video, blend of other ideas, etc.).
Another approach is having a PC software utility that takes the mystery out of the individual steps to get the OS loaded onto the SD card so a manual is not even needed? Future request?
Maybe it is too early and or the forum is adequate for now?
Thoughts, comments?
Thanks,
Dan

Hello everyone,
I realy like the way Outrernet is developing in the moment with Dreamcatcher and so on, but I think that removing important resources is extremely stupid!
A lot of people use the DIY Kit in different forms, but all images and instructions are not longer available on the Outernet website. Just Why? That's so anoying!
@Syed Please restore / add again the instructions and images (Skylark/Librarian) for the DIY Kit to the Outernet website. Also please bring up the archive again.
Also: Why is there no info at all about Outernet in general on the Website?
regards,
Manuel

Hello all just now pushing towards a complete outernet setup. I read somewhere, however, that outernet will no longer be supported on raspberry pi. Is this valid somewhat or completely? Regards and thanks in advance.

Hello, I am very new to this. I want to implement outernet in the raspberry pi but heard that it no longer supports it. What I can do now? Another thing i have to know, what kind of information about weather i can get from the outernet? I mean what are the actual parameter? I am very new and just a undergrad student, yet don't know core about this technology. Please suggest me something.

Hi
I have got to this point in the instructions:
- To connect to wifi network, use command line:
nmcli d wifi connect your_ssid password your_password
or using the text UI:
nmtuibut I do not seem to be able to get further.
I have seen a recent discussion that the wifi for the Dreamcatcher is not turned on; if this is still the case, what can I do with this device? Do I simply wait for the software to be written, or can I use the device without wifi? I recall that the whole point of the device was that it used wifi to connect with a wireless device so that you could access the downloaded files through a browser. Am I wrong?

Hi,
I've just received the outlet device. As you see from the image, the three LEDs are turned on, non of them is blinking, after a few seconds all of them are turned off, and no Outernet wifi signal appears on my laptop. What could be the problem?Regards

A few months ago, I was able to find some reasonable information about the possibilities of OUTERNET on this website Now instead, you get a confusing Information about "Software Defined Radios for Everyone" - Dreamcatcher - the good old valuable information is gone..
The OUTERNET is well described in the last ARRL QST Magazine of June 2017, including the DIY ground station kit. also a new Latern solar-powered Outernet ground Station is mentioned. All this cannot be found here. Why?
Best regards
