Tux and tie? not yet but getting more formalized

OK  I wanted to make the smallest image I could so that it could be hosted and downloaded for those that wanted to try this out.  I spent a lot of yesterday replicating the setup on an 8 gig micro sd.   Also had libre office open to record and clean up the steps.    So I should soon be able to upload the image.  Actually brought it to work for my faster internet speeds, but the thumb drive transfer kludged the tar  (was going to verify before the upload and sure enough.. choke)

A step by step tutoral has been uploaded under resources, sound at controlbooth.com.   the image will probably end up being a google drive shared folder download.

Judge me by my size do you? The Force is strong with this one

Ah the force is strong with this one. Judge me by my size do you? I just took the $25 pi zeroW configured as a mumble server and wifi router in my leather jacket breast pocket powered by a small cell phone charging battery brick to go see Star Wars, The Last Jedi My wife, son and I all logged on our phones in line for the tickets. Had earplugs.. hey who doesn't .. Son wandered about the lobby with me talking to him while I was waiting for 7 dollar popcorn Probably 50 people milling about.

We were seated together, but no LOS. Wife and Son phones went into sleep mode. Mine was set to keep running. Waited till the credits rolled, they re started the app, no trouble aquiring signal, and I sat and watched a while, while my wife filed out with some of the crowd She held the talk key and...

Headsets and ear plugs and bears oh my

Have tested with the Ugreen usb dongle from Amazon.  Works like a charm with multiple different headsets and earbuds.  One caution.. one set of cheap earbuds sent an echo into the system that was a bit annoying.. If you get this, try something different. More exciting.  It works with the Logitech H820e dect usb headset.   This thing lets you roam just about anywhere for about 300 feet from the base.  Have to configure in the sound config of the desktop, then start mumble and go through the audio config sequence.  Choose default usb device under alsa   Will likely have to shutdown mumble and reboot the pi before it will output sound to the headset.  The graphical mic config works.  Curiosly, the mumble test output file never seems to play under raspian like it does on windows or ubuntu.   Doesn't matter though.. output still works in the end. Also tested the Logitech H800 with dedicated dongle, and it works with no fuss....

As long as they don't declare me in meltdown   https://drive.google.com/open?id=12b0IkTYJ6-bB-2-chbc_YkJRv1gpLBUL should take you to a copy of the picomm image that you can burn to an 8 gig or larger micro sd.  Will work in pi3 and pi zero w. Passwords and config details in previous posts on this blog. Stay tuned.. How to build a $75 beltpack (complete with belt pouch) that will auto log into the picomm wifi, and auto log onto the mumble server (all headless no keyboard or monitor needed)  Can configure from the picomm server via vnc or from a laptop or tablet logged into the picomm server.
