Build guide

What you need

The extra parts, tools and accounts for building your own LoloBox.

Check the Requirements first. To build your own LoloBox, you also need:

  • Your chosen board and the parts in its build guide.
  • A microSD memory card, 16 GB or larger.
  • A computer with a microSD slot or a card reader. You use it to prepare the card and to run the installer over SSH.
  • Your home Wi-Fi name and password, so your LoloBox can get online for the install.
  • A free Tailscale account. The installer uses it so your AI can reach your LoloBox from anywhere. You can install without it.

Next: follow the Radxa ZERO 3W build guide. Guides for the Raspberry Pi 4 and 3 are coming soon.

Give your AI a phone.
Keep your passwords.
