I have set up TTD70 on a pi3 and made an image that should be downloadable for those interested in trying it out on a pi. I tried to keep this image as minimal as possible to cut down on upload/download time, etc. The compressed image is 1.31 Gb so it still may take you an hour to download it. After extracting, it will be around 3.95 Gb, might fit on a 4 Gb card but definitely will fit on an 8 Gb. Username is pi, password is ttd-v70. Hostname is ttd-v70
1. Download the compressed file.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=13qSTOreMdTPcpRRV9gn46_iGzjUNq8al
2. Extract the tar.gz file to an .img file using 7-Zip, WinZip, or whatever works for you.
3. Image an SD card with this .img file. Etcher (from etcher.io) is a good tool for imaging cards.
4. Put the imaged card into your pi. Plug in your usb sound card. Connect an ethernet cable.
5. a. At this point you can connect an hdmi monitor and keyboard/mouse then power the pi up.
b. Alternatively, you may omit the monitor/keyboard and connect via ssh or vnc. Real VNC is running and available at ttd-v70.local:5900 on the same network.
6. TTD will load after about 30 seconds. Use the Edit Config Info button in the TTD window to set up that information. There is an icon on the desktop that can be used to edit the Tones.cfg information. Make sure that you save this information.
7. After you have made edits to these files, your best bet is to reboot the pi. (Remember that any time you make changes, other than to email addresses, TTD needs to restart to read these changes) Go to the raspberry icon at the upper left then choose Shutdown/Reboot.
One of the quirks with this setup is that Pulse Audio Volume Control needs to be running prior to starting TTD. Starting TTD by rebooting the pi takes care of this for you.
8. Features:
a. TTD autostarts on boot of the pi.
b. The pi reboots automatically daily at midnight.
c. The audio files are automatically deleted from the TTD/audio folder after two days.
d. RealVNC is enabled. this allows access to the GUI from your local network and can be set up to allow access from the internet with a RealVNC cloud account. (free and simple)
e. Runs well on wifi on a pi3.
Disclaimer: This image has not been thoroughly tested. It has been tested enough to see that it works and the common issues are taken care of. If you find other issues, post the error messages here and we can figure them out.
Let me know how it works for you if you try it.
