      @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.
