Hi,
this seemed like a great project to try. (I have visions of home automation in my head, or at least that was the excuse I gave my wife). So I got the 4.3 package and it showed up quickly. (thanks Bryan!), and an Rpi3-B and 2.5Amp usb on amazon.
i soldered together everything, the guidance is clear, i just need a magnifier to see it all.
OK, so now trying to boot and things became unclear. The software section says boot the Rpi and launch a browser, but all i get is a Linux style command line.
i don't see whether to install noobs on the sd chip. i figure it should be there. but does the openwrt image overwrite the noobs image or does it create a 2nd partition or something? I seem to recall some doc that said i needed to prep an SD card with noobs but all i see mentioned is the partition from the openwrt snapshot.
thanks for the help, i am sure this is painfully obvious.
