sBitx VNC


 

I am connecting to the Raspberry Pi in my sBitx via VNC (RealVNC) on a RPi 400. The screen is the same resolution as the built in screen (800 by 480?). Is there a way to have the VNC resolution be higher?

VNC seems interesting. I might try doing this once I get my sBITx back up and running as a headless unit, like the flex radios.


 

Open Terminal and type

sudo raspi-config

go down to Display Options
Down to VNC Resolutions (The wording varies to the os, I use 64 bit os if I remember rightly the 32 bit one says something different but it is pretty obvious)

I don't have an sbitx (yet) but all my radio stuff is done using a pi4 via vnc?

I found a way to do it.? Don't specify VNC in the raspi-config settings. This sets the server to duplicate the touch screen which is 800x480.? Instead start a virtual screen. From a command line (I use ssh):? vncserver :1 -geometry 1920x1280.

Then in the vnc viewer, connect to the :1 screen.? This is a separate screen from the one on the touchscreen.

I've noticed that even though the screen is larger and the sbitx app is designed for 800x480, it comes up in full screen. Is there a way to start sbitx in a window?
