add-on for the set-up. You need it if you installed the HAT de-
scribed in point 5 (ReceiverPi Pro). Ian Canada’s instructions are
here:  Open source StationPi Pro touch screen display/control-

kit includes 4D-UPA programmer, which is needed for program-

As for the OS, one can install moOde, or, alternatively, if the pre-
ferred music server is Roon, install RoPieee, a RoonBridge image for
Raspberry Pi. Roon can be checked here:  roon.app, and the RoPieee
image is downloadable from here:  ropiee.org. The microSD card can
be flashed using balenaEtcher ( balenaEtcher), which is yet another
piece of software for writing flash images to SD cards and USB drives.
Once the OS has been on the microSD card, we would advise the read-
er to check the installation guide for RoPieee, which is available here:
 ropieee installation guide.pdf.
