RPi 3 B+

I will be receiving a new RPi 3 B+ soon and wanted some feedback on what you think about it. Mine comes with NOOBS SD card so that shouldn't be an issue with starting an OS on it. I will probably look into adding another monitor to my work area for it. Luckily, mine comes with a case and power supply. I am thinking of getting a LED screen for it as well. How do you guys like your RPi? This will be my first. My main goal with it is to compile my door game Legion RPG to make available for all and to perhaps even run another BBS for experimental purposes. How's the performance and resource handling for it? I should have mine on Monday. Let me know...

Not remotely an appropriate reply, but I have just received a 3B+ and, with RISC OS and Ubuntu Mate SD cards that routinely run on a 2B and

3B, all I get is a multi-hued 3:4 screen and the 5v low voltage dagger (power is maxed up at 5.35v, 5A). I rather assumed that a 3B+ will use the same OS versi> I will be receiving a new RPi 3 B+ soon and wanted some feedback on what you

Well, a different version of the NOOBS installer was released on the same day as the 3B+ was announced, so I'd try that ...

[Snip previous post - please reply below or interleaved with previous posts]

Any OS which worked on the 3B should work on the 3B+, but ensure that you have no over clocking entries in config.txt

I would suggest your problems are due to the low voltage warning, and it needs to be looked in to further.

Apologies - my error. My mind was elsewhere

Due to the use of stabilised PSUs with limited adjustment. The PandaBoard has an onboard over/under voltage indicator, and is happy with 5.00v. A pre-ES board that I acquired had a blown chip to the indicator which I had to replace, and that suggested an extreme overvoltage (the board actually survived). The casual use of vague PSU voltages for the RPI makes me very nervous!

I have no answers to the questions you asked, but would say I just telnetted over to your BBS and had some fun. Nice work - keep it up! The world needs more BBSes now that the WWW is a cesspool.

I had the same problem. I downloaded and reinstalled NOOBS onto the SD card and it worked fine. I understand there was a newer version than the one I got. Dana
