Hello everybody
I bought a BBB. I am a novice. I have tried numerous times just to get the BBB started, with no success. I live in Chicago. Is there a place where you can get hands or help with such basic stuff?
I have been able to work with the raspberry pi, but the BBB has me stuck.

Sure! I can help you at PS1. I’m away this weekend but next week would work. or the next NERP. I missed last monday since was still in NYC

Drew that sounds great. I will stay in touch with you. I really want to get it working.
