Some of it is. The mystery cloud will soon disappear. Then you will see it just another F..... computer. Hihi.

Check out MicrCenter or Amazon for smaller size cards.

I understand you are new to the pi. The pi is a computer just like your
Windows machine is a computer. A simple configuration is to attach an HDMI
monitor or a TV, usb keyboard and mouse. You can configure it to your WiFi or
use an Ethernet cable to your router. Later you can learn how to set it up to
run without the monitor keyboard snd mouse.

To be honest Ed, I believe once you get the basic operation of this
computer in your head it will be much easier to follow the wiki instructions for
setting up the device for node-red. I think your kit came with a small booklet
with some things to try using the included operating system. There are a lot of
beginner tutorials you can find with google.

Node-red is really an app that runs on you pi. In fact there is a version
already installed on your pi. It may not be the version you need for creating
the panels we use for our Flex radios. But it is a great version to practice the
basic tutorials you can find on the internet to learn the basics of node-red.
It¡¯s a great sandbox for the beginner and take from crawling to walking.

If read the info in the wiki before learning the basics I described you may
find it a bit intimidating. If you do, don¡¯t worry. There are plenty of folks
monitoring these messages and they will jump in and help you out. You can help
them out by getting familiar with you pi just like back in the day when you had
to learn about Windows but this is easier.
