Thank you Patrons!! / km6lyw
Good to see updates, thank you
Amazing work. Subbd, Patreon'd and will set up a Pi :) Grabbed a USB GPS and will try to set up for a portable backpack setup. Should be fun
Woot Woot!🎉
Nice job on the updates! Many thanks!
I think Blender can do the scrolling text for ya. I've never done it, but I've read about it. Specifically it was recommended on a forum to make a Star Wars style text crawler.
Yes!! a Star Wars scroller would be amazing! I have a friend with strong Blender fu, i'll ask about it. ffmpeg was suggested also.
Good Stuff! Guess you can't change the Webchat APRS Icon or Beacon Text?
Wow graphics on the small TFT Screen are much better!
Sure, you can edit webchat.py under ~/.aprs.venv -- the text/icon is in there. I could probably make that easier.
@@KM6LYW Thanks. I don't see that directory in the ~ directory. Maybe the process to edit this file is different than what I'm used to. Was going to pull it up in a text editor, but 1) can't find the directory or file and 2) this might not be the correct process to make this change.
@@bradgreenwood2588 ~/.aprsd-venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/aprsd/cmds/webchat.py Please be gentle, that's the source code for webchat.
Just set up DigiPi. Thank you sir! I have the ILI9486 screen and printed a case that requires a 180 deg screen rotation. Can't figure out how to rotate in the py files. The other 2 screens seem easy to figure out but not the larger one. Any idea how to rotate it?
Never mind. I got it. Changed the orientation in digibanner to UPPER_LEFT. Fliparoooni.
ya, change UPPER_LEFT to LOWER_RIGHT and vice versa. itll flip
@@KM6LYW Thanks. I figured that out a couple hours ago. Did the deed and right now writing a blog to document just that thing. It will be on a place called John's Tech Blog within 20-30 mins.
Q: What do the 2 small buttons do on the Postage stamp screen? Thanks
They toggle the TNC and Digipeater respectively (when both are off, it goes into Standby, and displays IP address)
Will you ever support the Waveshare E-ink display? I think it would be cool to put this into my Pwnagotchi setup.
Yah, i keep looking at that, tho, the green/red led indicators might be confusing. If I can get the frame rate up to at least 5fps, i bet it could work. Should I get the Zero-sized version? I don't have an ownagotchi here. Edit: 250x122 is insufficient - need at least 240x240.
I really need a video for a Pi3, digirig, GPS and a UV5R. Have all the equipment and cables, but this thing won’t key up and transmit!
DigiPi 1.9-2 supports DigiRig Mobile out-of-the-box, select it on the Initialize page. The DigiRig "Lite" however, is not yet supported, but can be made to work by editing a couple files.
@@KM6LYW I had it working for a bit, but now it's showing as Card 0, Device 0. It shows up as: Usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2102N_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_f8af0fe7c58cee119f0803028acbdcd8-if00-port0/ttyUSB0
**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Device [USB Audio Device], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
Subdevices: 0/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Within localize.env, is this correct to change? NEWI2CAUDIO=digirig
How do I get it to show up as Card 1?
Thanks!
@KM6LYW So, I have ran into an issue on the Pi Zero 2W.. the Digirig Mobile won't show up -only as Device 0, Card 0. This is what is shows:
Usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2102N_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_f8af0fe7c58cee119f0803028acbdcd8-if00-port0/ttyUSB0
**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Device [USB Audio Device], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
Subdevices: 0/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Within localize.env, is this correct to change? NEWI2CAUDIO=digirig
How do I get the Pi to recognize the digirig? It worked with the Pi 3 until I unplugged and moved it. I had to install a driver for my Windows PC.
Am I missing something simple? I've tried multple cables. and had it working for a short time. No luck on Pi Zero 2W.
@@KM6LYW It doesn't save as selected and shows up as FEPI. How can I change back to DigiRig?
I see that Raspberry PI has released their 7 inch display 2. Can we get this to work with that ?
Ney, DigiPi supports only the three SPI/gpio displays mentioned in this video. At some point I'll look at DSI and HDMI/framebuffer.
This screen good on a pi3/4?
Yup!
Woohoo. I really gotta update from 1.7-3 Noticed in the board that the wifi system has changed, I gave the wrong instructions on adding your wifi. Duh..
Yah, the raspberry Pi OS guys are fast-n-loose with changes, almost to a disservice -- all the docs and processes on the internet are now broken :|
Is there a new password for the initial setup when digipi makes a hotspot? abcdefghij isn't working
It's the same as it ever was... abcdefghij -- it's easy to mistype because my webform obscures what you're typing, i may change that. Also DigiPi is setup for UK wifi zone by default. This can cause problems for Australia users.
@@KM6LYW hmm....what would cause it to not connect on a fresh install? The image boots and I see the digipi hotspot but no luck with the password. I actually get a message that it should be 4 or 8 characters.
@@uncivilizedadventures Using Microsoft Windows? I'm told it needs to use a different wifi mode, legacy? Is there another option to click when connecting to the DigiPi hotspot. Or.... use android, ios, mac, anything else. Let us know how it goes! You can get help on the DigiPi Discord channel or DigiPi Google Group too.
great job thanks 73 from kb2uew
