- Ω - Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 There are two different "sidecar" TIPI designs to take into account if you are considering purchasing a TIPI or a 32K expansion. The Original Design This 32K can be used as a stand alone, and sells for roughly $64.00 on Ebay from the Brewing Academy. It also supports a separate TIPI card that attaches to the side. This TIPI unit sells for around $88.00 plus shipping from the Brewing Academy on Ebay. So your overall cost for both units (pre-shipping) is around $152.00 before shipping. NOTE: This more expensive design does NOT allow for a future P-Box to be attached if you choose to upgrade later. Newer Design The equally capable sidecar design, the TIPI/32K is an all-in-one design that sells for around $60.00 and it allows for future P-Box without the need to purchase any other stuff. It also sells for LESS than some stand alone 32K expansion modules being sold as well. So, if you want a sidecar design, this information might be something to consider. Even if you only want a 32K expansion at the moment, I highly recommend purchasing the TIPI/32K because overall it's less expensive and lets you keep your options open.

RickR Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 I will watch that video after work today. Thanks! On that website, there are options for a Rasp Pi Zero and a "Programmed SD Card". What are those, are they needed? Or is that covered in your video? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
- Ω - Posted April 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 No, the video does not cover that. You can download the image and use a program like Etcher to make your own though. For TIPI use with an Rpi, it is necessary. Quote <<< My YouTube Page >>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
