BellwiseBuy a key

Already have a key?

A Bellwise licence key, bought here or given out by 2 Buns LLC, downloads the card image for the Raspberry Pi. Then the card is written and the box is set up below.

Card image

Board

The key only unlocks the download here: nothing is activated or moved until the box itself activates it (step 6). About 400 MB.

Setting up the box

  1. Check the download. Its SHA-256 must match the one above exactly: on Windows certutil -hashfile FILE SHA256, on a Mac or Linux shasum -a 256 FILE.
  2. Write the card with Raspberry Pi Imager: pick the device, then Use custom under the operating system and the downloaded file. Skip Imager's OS customisation; this image has its own setup.
  3. Power it on. With an Ethernet cable to the router it is online at once; skip to step 5.
  4. Without a cable, after about a minute it opens an open Wi-Fi called TradeTracker-Setup-XXXX. Join it on a phone; the phone shows "Sign in to network" (or open http://10.42.0.1). Set the PIN, then pick the home Wi-Fi, type its password and the country, and tap Join. The hotspot closes while the box joins; put the phone back on the home Wi-Fi. A wrong password brings the hotspot back within a minute, with the reason on the page.
  5. Open http://tradetracker.local/settings on a phone or PC on the home network. The Settings page walks through the required items (Schwab, the schedule, the Anthropic key, the agreement) one at a time.
  6. Activate the key: on the same Settings page, under Updates, paste the key into Licence key and press Activate. Updates then arrive overnight, or with Check now.

With a screen, a USB keyboard and a mouse plugged in, the same setup runs on the screen instead, no phone needed. Stuck? FAQ or support@2bunsllc.com.
