HamPC Screen Sharing to Roku TV


 

Hello everyone!

I love the Ham Clock app thar Dave Slater included in his HamPC and would like to cast/share the screen to my Roku TV in my shack during my operating sessions.

Is this possible and if so how?

Thanks to Dave Slater for his awesome work!

Best regards,

David L. Fodor, KD9JEO?


 

What kind of graphics output does your PC have? If you have an HDMI output, just run a cable from the PC to the Roku TV (not a ROKU stick!).If you don't have an HDMI output from your PC, you can adapt VGA, USB-C. and DVI video outputs to HDMI. Plug in the cable to your TV and your PC and Bob's your uncle!

Hello Karl!

I do have a HDMI port, however, I would prefer to cast wirelessly so that I can have the tablet display the information on one desk and the TV display the same information on my other two desks.?

David, I wish you well. I¡¯m not aware of any way to cast from a PC to a Roku TV. if you figure out how to do it, please post your solution here. I¡¯d be interested in seeing how you did it.

Hello Karl!

I will certainly post it and I want to thank you for your help! I have found several options but haven't tested them yet, but I expect to publish the solution later today!

Here is a link to a couple of YouTube videos if you are interested:?



Note: I could not find videos specifically for Xubuntu which is the operating system for HamPC but I will do more research on Google later today.

Also note that in the videos that I have seen, you must use Chrome cast extensions on Roku for this to work.

I will try to find additional apps, etc., later today and understand that I have not yet tested the solutions in the above.


73'S and Best regards,
