Re: None of my Pi's are showing on network _ HELP
SOLVED - one of my replies discusses the problem - not a DHCP issue at all.

Re: None of my Pi's are showing on network _ HELP
P.P.S. I had some OTHER issue(s) with the hotspot stuff, AND I wanted more control, so I "punted". Check here for more info:

Re: None of my Pi's are showing on network _ HELP
Er...um....I *meant* to say that this is how the hotspot software is meant to work. (AND ....MMDVM as well, but that is another story...for another group...hi hi !!)
Sorry about that !!!!

Re: None of my Pi's are showing on network _ HELP
What is strange is that he listed that (hooking the RPi to the router using CAT5) as his step #7. That is why I, and I believe Bob, assumed a DHCP problem.
I read right past that or I would have assumed the same. --

Re: None of my Pi's are showing on network _ HELP
P.S.... And NO this is NOT a "problem" in the hotspot software.
Actually this is the way the mmdvm software is supposed to work !!

We have to be careful with this setting. With some radios (IC7300 in particular) setting this to true can cause an issue where the internal sound card of the radio is not accessible. This is why it is set to "false" by default in build a pi. The downside to setting to false is that the GPS must be plugged into the pi before we boot or it will not be recognized.

Re: Build-a-Pi command…gone
Okay, I’m relieved that it wasn’t some inadvertent blunder I made! ?As a newbie I am prone to those! It didn’t cause me stress as much as a sore scalp from all my head scratching! ?
Thanks, guys! ??
BTW, Jason - My RPi with your Build-a-Pi has run superbly, and I’m blundering, I mean learning my way through the myriad apps on there. Great stuff you’ve done!?

Re: None of my Pi's are showing on network _ HELP
Grover, If you installed the hotspot with build a pi, each pi will create it's own hotspot. You can connect to each SSID and use 10.10.10.10 with VNC to connect to each long enough to enter the correct credentials for your wifi and get it back on your home router. The other option is to connect the pi via CAT5 cable to the new home router. Even with hotspot enabled, your home router will assign an IP address to each pi that you can use to connect. --

Re: Build-a-Pi command…gone
I can't explain why this is happening but had a Patron email me yesterday with the same issue. We fixed it with the following three commands: cd ~rm -rf pi-buildgit clone https://github.com/km4ack/pi-build.gitThe above simply removes the build a pi directory and downloads a fresh copy. --

Good morning Bob.
I was going to purchase a dedicated screen for my Pi4b but it turned out to be more expensive than a Tablet, so I purchased a VANKYO s-10 tablet (10 inch screen) for about ?80 here in the UK and the 'pinch' mode works really well under VNC. The VANKYO is an 'entry-level' tablet with 2G RAM, 32G Storage and thankfully no 'Bloat-wear!' It seems an excellent device to marry with the Pi and BAP.
I also purchased a foldable bluetooth keyboard -- with built in 'mouse' touch pad. That was about ?20 and again makes typing sooooo much easier than trying to do that on the tablet screen.
Been out portable with the combination twice now and very pleased with the results.
No problems with screen visibility and as the tablet and the keyboard have in-built batteries, I don't need to consider them in the 'Portable Power' calculations.
I've been using my KX3 portable -- CW and FT8 (and a bit of SSB), and despite keeping the power down on FT8 to about 6 watts, (as I don't have any additional heat sinking on my KX3) I've been surprised by the excellent performance.
My next task is to get logging on the Pi functioning with WSJT-X to (hopefully) automatically fill the various logging fields. At present I'm doing that manually.

Re: Build-a-Pi command…gone
Relax !
Do not do anything right away.....!!
Let the owner of the git repo "get on the problem" and generate "the
fix". (i.e. Let KM4ACk take care of things.....so to speak. Even if it
isn't git related....)
(My *guess* is that this problem is externally generated and can be
fixed AFTER Jason works on it...)

There is definitely a VNC viewer for the chromebook.
As for running build-a-pi, while the Chromebook has a linux kernel?you can't run linux apps directly but from chrome OS ver. 69 (R72 is currently recommended) they use a linux virtual?machine (crostini/ termia)?which theoretically should be able to run the build a pi or scripts... whether this works or not remains to be tested but I doubt it the end result will be good as build-a-pi installs programs that access peripherals?like bluetooth and USB which aren't currently?supported in the VM for security?reasons.
If anyone wants to check out requirements, give it a try or look at present or missing features you can check out the Chrome OS containers?doc here: ? especially the sections on quickstart or runtime features.
If you have an old chromebook a better option would probably be to install Crouton to allow you to boot into linux, however, this isn't for the faint hearted, as it involves putting the chromebook?into developer mode which will erase everything so make sure you backup first.
If you want to try the couton page is on github: ??
Personally I'd just install VNC from their app store and use the chromebook as a remote UI for the pi ??
Just wondering out loud but doesnt chromebook run on Linux and if so can you run the build a pi on it and for go the pi all together?? ?
