Update the installation instructions and hardware page -- now the only hardware required is the raspberry pi 400, an sd card, a usb speaker, a usb microphone, and a power source; the rest (the big red button eg) isn't needed. the velcro as always is optional. the new installation instructions are a bit simpler too: (1) download the latest image from github actions artifacts, (2) flash that image onto an SD card. sample commands: diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk4; sudo dd bs=4M if=/Users/dbieber/Downloads/go-note-go.img of=/dev/rdisk4 conv=fsync status=progress (3) insert the sd card and start the pi - give it a minute to boot, then run :server (type :server then hit enter) ; that will start a wifi hotspot called GoNoteGo-Wifi. (4) connect to GoNoteGo-Wifi from another device like a phone or computer; the password is "swingset" ; (5) navigate to 192.168.4.1:8000 - there you can configure your Go Note Go. tell it what wifi network(s) to connect to, where to upload your notes, etc. Click save. (6) to make sure its working run :i on the go note go - it should say 'Yes' indicating its connected to the internet (7) to turn off the wifi hotspot, run ":server stop" on the Go Note Go
