Hi again Roger. So sorry to bug you again but unfortunately, I'm still experiencing problems at the first step :-(. This time, I'm able to initiate the download but it consistently gets to about the 75% mark of the download & I then get this:
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
curl: (18) transfer closed with 352761603 bytes remaining to read
I've tried this on 2 different computers at home (a MBP 14" & an iMac 24" M1) & get the same result each time. I've restarted both computers multiple times with no difference. I've even tried to tether my MBP to my mobile, just in case our ISP was having issues & I got exactly the same result.
Any ideas? So sorry to keep hassling you on this but I enjoy a challenge ;-).
Hey Roger. Thanks again for touching base. I'm thrilled to say everything is happening now. I was able to download the ZIP file using the direct URL in a browser. I then copied the ZIP file to the root of my home directory & then started to use the rest of the terminal commands you wrote. I've had to make several changes as I think there were some errors. Here's what I changed:
'diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk3' should be 'diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk{disk number}'
echo 'After unmount sd card by using: diskutil eject /dev/disk3' should be echo 'After unmount sd card by using: diskutil eject /dev/disk{disk number}'
'ssh-keygen -R raspberrypi.local' didn't work for me & gave me the error "Cannot stat /Users/yammouni/.ssh/known_hosts: No such file or directory". Didn't seem to make any difference
mixer-2.0-0 libsdl2-mixer-dev alsa-oss locate ----- for some reason, the "mixer-dev alsa-oss locate" part of this command had a carriage return just before it. I removed that & re-ran the command & everything worked properly again.
Apart from these things above, everything else worked exactly as you'd written. I'm beside myself with excitement! I ran Gyrocks & it worked perfectly!!! I'm thrilled that I was able to get it to work & I thank you again for all your help with getting this up & running, as well as the great instructions you've provided. Can't wait to see what this is all capable of. You're totally amazing!
Hi David, thanks again for the feedback. I've made some changes in the script based on this. disk3 of course must be replaced wherever you use it. ssh-keygen is not needed the way we login and the CR maybe comes from Copy&Paste, but i also changed the style in the script, so I hope that helps.
I'm glad it worked finally for you. Enjoy the PiTrex!
Hi Roger. Thanks so much for setting up this site - looks excellent & I'm excited to try it all out. I'm following your instructions to setup an SD card for the Pitrex but it appears that I'm having issues getting the pitrex8gb.zip file from your Classic Coder site? Everything appears to start correctly but the file doesn't appear to download? This is the text from the Terminal when I run the CURL command from your instructions:
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
I've tried a couple of times today but have had no success :-(. When I try & access your website using a browser, the home screen states "10 PRINT "SITE IS TEMPORARILY UNAVAILBLE"
20 PRINT "WE APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE"
30 GOTO 10
RUN "
Is your server down at the moment? Hope this makes sense. Please feel free to let me know if you require any further information. Cheers, David
Absolutely no problems at all Roger & thanks for fixing it up :-). It appears to be downloading right now which is great. I'll work my way through the commands & let you know how I go. Thanks again for all your excellent help.
Great kick-off newsletter!
One question regarding the SD-card, it says 19 EUR and when I click I want one it changes to USD. Can't I pay in EUR?
Thatt's handled by Gumtree but I will check. Thanks for that feedback. Glad you like the post so far
Seems an interesting,programming website.

Hi David, yes that's strange. I have tried right now and it's indeed slow for me too but it's done with 30s. You couldl also try to download using the browser. For that you ust enter the url http://classicscoder.com/downloads/pitrex8gb.zip into your browser. As an alternative I also made a copy on Google drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18vqZI8nMVFRY6LZFS48EJ0-6tePzFmFc/view?usp=sharing.
I hope one of those 3 possibilities is finally working for you.
There is not much else I can do from my side if the download is not working for you.
Best, Roger

Hi David, I'm very sorry for this but during maintenance of the homepage, some links were broken. it's fixed now and you can try again. Sorry!
