    @sdetweil I was just reading the topic about fix for black screen and while I need to read several more times to get my arms around it, I was wondering if I can do those scripts on the files before I copy them over. Instead of ssh’ing in to Pi open terminal go to drive and see if they are problematic before moving?
    I would back up exiting files in case I blew something up.

      @ankonaskiff17 u can run the backup script on your sd folder… it takes a -s parm for source
      (-h shows the syntax)

      this would create the 3 files…

      then u could run the restore on the new system by copying the backup folder to the new system
      (and -h shows syntax)

      this reinstalls the modules from github… not copies any of their files…

        @sdetweil Found my first 3rd party module lacking “request”. Your tutorial worked like a charm

          @ankonaskiff17 @sdetweil Found a new way scorch a Pi on this project.
          Had a snap together case I put Pi in, snapped closed and I’ll admit, it to some muscle to snap case closed.
          Shortly thereafter I caught the unmistakable odor of burning electronics.
          I snapped the SD card so it was bent like 90°
          The Pi did not like that.
