    Hi akopac,
    I'm interested in installing a rasberry pi (never made one before) to replace a router I use to connect everything wirelessly.I've just read a couple of your posts. Can you recommend what to buy?
    Thank you,
    John.

    1. Pink or blue foam? Pink is a little less R value, but more water resistant than blue?. Am I correct?
    I can't answer but water proof is extruded with a slick sealed surface.
    2. If the box is 5 cubic foot with inside surface area of 17.94 sq. Ft. Will 5 inches of insulation work? Blue is R6.6/in. Pink I R5/in. ?

    Calder recommends the Dole Blue board.
    Five inches is good inches for 5 cubic ft refrigerator temperatures even in tropical weather but the BD35 compressor and evaporator are too small for freezer temps.

    Correct me if I’m wrong. It’s been a long time since I’ve done this. Your book survived a pretty good soaking coming back from Panama.
    I wish isotherm would give you a capacity for their equipment.

    I would like to point out the Isotherm's HP through hull condenser needs regular cleaning especially if used as sink drain. It is a good idea to monitor amp draw of refrigeration one and a while as amp increase indicates HP condenser is less efficient.

    Hi, I checked out PiGate, It is based on Pac-Link Unix.
    There are also some limitations that would not make it suitable (Send Only).

    I hope that the pac-link software will eventually be included in openplotter with a configuration GUI.
    Cheers,
    JM.
