Scott KE8KYP All Messages By This Member #95678 Hey Goody, I’m embarrassed to ask this but can you outline the steps of downloading and upgrading your code to existing firmware? ?I’d like to give your work a try. ?I struggle with gathering and making the change outside of the published method in Ashhar’s manual. ?It just shows how little I work with RPI.? Thanks in advance, Scott
Ashhar Farhan All Messages By This Member #95679 Most or goody's changes are already in the git. What you do is this : 1. Open a terminal from the main screen. 2. In the terminal,? change to sbitx directory: ? ?cd sbitx 3. Get the latest build with git pull : ? ?git pull 4. Rebuild the sbitx ? ?./build sbitx (Be careful, the dot before the slash is important) 5. Now close the terminal, start the sbitx! - f toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Sun, Sep 11, 2022, 4:26 PM Scott KE8KYP <scott_massey@...> wrote: Hey Goody, I’m embarrassed to ask this but can you outline the steps of downloading and upgrading your code to existing firmware??

Anthony Good #95680 开云体育 Hi Scott, If you want to try my latest updates that aren’t merged into Farhan’s main git repository, do this: 1. Open a terminal, execute the following commands... 2. git clone? 3. cd sbitx-k3ng 4.?git checkout 2022.09.06.0115 5. ./build sbitx 6. ./sbitx This will create a directory separate from the main /home/pi/sbitx/ directory, /home/pi/sbitx-k3ng/ , so you don’t have to worry about some change I made wrecking your mainstream version of sbitx. ?Your desktop and start menu shortcuts for sBitx will still run the mainstream version of the app in /home/pi/sbitx/. Note that the branch being checked out in step 4 above, 2022.09.06.0115, is the current branch in my repository (sbitx-k3ng) which I’m adding changes to. ?This branch will change in the future. ?When I feel good about the changes I’ve made, I will submit a pull request to Fahran, which allows him to review the changes and merge into his sbitx repository. ?A merge essentially rolls out code changes I made to everyone, and the changes will be propagated to anyone running ‘git pull’ ?within /home/pi/sbitx/. If you do the git clone process above to create a sbitx-k3ng repository on your machine, you’ll want to run a ‘git pull’ frequently in /home/pi/sbitx-k3ng/ to retrieve whatever updates I’ve made recently. ?I’ve been making announcements in the group with the #sbitx-k3ng tag when I make notable changes. ?Make note of whatever branch I’m currently working on, and do a ‘git checkout {branch name}’ within /home/pi/sbitx-k3ng/ to switch your local repository to the branch I’m working on. Sorry if I’m covering parts of git you know already. ?Git and Github are really amazing for what they do, but I struggled with both myself. ?They are not always intuitive and can be a bit daunting to understand. 73 Goody K3NG toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Sep 11, 2022, at 07:12, Ashhar Farhan <farhanbox@...> wrote: Most or goody's changes are already in the git.

W6LKB All Messages By This Member #95753 Other than running .sbitx from your directory in terminal, what's the easiest way to create an icon that can be clicked on to run your version?
Anthony Good #95755 开云体育 Go into Start (the Raspberry button in the upper left) - Preferences - Main Menu Editor, highlight the “Hamradio” item in the left pane, and click the New Item button. ?Give it a Name (i.e. sBitx-k3ng”) and make the command /home/pi/sbitx-k3ng/sbitx, click OK, and click OK again to exit the Main Menu Editor. ?You now have a shortcut in your main menu. ?If you want it on the desktop, click Start again and navigate to the “Hamradio” item. ?Right-click the item you create and select “Add to desktop”. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Sep 12, 2022, at 20:33, W6LKB <lbon@...> wrote: Other than running .sbitx from your directory in terminal, what's the easiest way to create an icon that can be clicked on to run your version?
W6LKB All Messages By This Member #96051 Followed your instructions and I can now run your version or Ashhar's from icons. They are both working great.? It occured to me that it would be nice if you could add a letter or date after the sbitx 1.1 on the display so as people bring up issues you know what version they are running. Or maybe there is some other command that could display this. Thanks again for all your support!
