A headless Chirp updater for updating radios on the go. I used a $10 Raspberry Pi Zero W.
The basic idea is that you can edit your Chirp files on your desktop, save them to a cloud fileshare (I use Dropbox) and then when you get in the car (or somewhere not convenient for plugging your radio into your computer) you can boot up your chirpi and let it update your radio.
Chirp (https://chirp.danplanet.com) is an awesome tool for updating a number of different amateur radios. It runs on Linux, Windows and Mac.
chirpc is a command line implementation of Chirp that you'll need to downlaod from here: https://github.com/tylert/chirp.hg
I keep my Chirp files in Dropbox but you could accomplish the same thing with any cloud fileshare that lets you set a public URL for sharing your files.
