Thanks! I will try late today to download.

I'm simultaneously uploading to another service as well that seems MUCH faster. MyAirBridge slowed down even more and went from 7:30 remaining to 22 hours+!  Now I'm uploading to Filemail.com which is projecting completion in about 3 hours at which time the link will be furnished and I'll post it.

[alzy]

Super!

[brobin]

DONE!  Here's the link - it's good for 6 days:

It took about 3 1/2 hours to upload it and just 13 minutes to download, YMMV.

Hope it alls goes well!

[alzy]

Got it. Download took only about 30 minutes. thanks!

What do i need to know to get it running?

[brobin]

1. Use Etcher to install the image on a 16GB Micro Sd card.

2. Put the card in the PI, connect a monitor, keyboard and mouse (I use a Logitech K400 wireless kb/trackpad combo) and plug in the power.

3. Once you see the Pixel desktop you can click on the icon for the wifi settings in the upper right corner of the desktop (next to the Bluetooth icon) and select your router's SSID and login. 

4. Identify your Pi's IP by hovering over the WiFi indicator.
 
5. Shut down the Pi and plug the CM19 into the Pi and power it up. 

6. Use any browser to go to the Pi's IP and you should be looking at HA-Bridge. You're done!

Now go to T's page at   http://forums.tuicemen.net/index.php?topic=1310.0  and you'll find the instructions for editing HA-Bridge. I have a few things already set up so just edit them.

Easy as Pi!

Can I use a usb mouse for setup?

Trying to flash to a 16gb sd card used previously for Pix10Hub image but sketcher reports not enough room I there an easy way to fix this as it should fit on a 16gd card?

[racerfern]

Use an SD card formatter such as https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/index.html , after that you'll be fine.
Easy to install and use.

[alzy]

Did that but now says I have 14.48GB and that there is still not enough space.

[racerfern]

Just curious if you've tried Win32diskimager
https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/files/latest/download

Other than that I don't know what to say.

[alzy]

Tried Aomei Partition assistant and still get only about 14.4 gb. What's with that?

[racerfern]

It doesn't surprise me that a 16gb card yields less than 16gb, however the img you're trying to install should be substantially smaller than that.

Have you tried a full format as opposed to a quick format?

[alzy]

Yes I did. My research says this is about normal for a 16 gb card. So the image won't fit. It looks like Aomei removed all partitoning and that's what I ended up with so can't use this card.

[brobin]

Close but so far. The image is 14.52. Do you have a brand new card? A larger card will work too.
