Jeremy,

Chromebooks change rather quickly. A matter of months sometimes.??Good chromebooks are more expensive than you would think.??There is a decent website / youtube channel that talks about them,



I really like the little Lenovo ChromebookDuet ($299).??Get it from Best Buy as they have an exclusive model that has double the storage:




The Duet is smaller and also has a tablet mode.

A Chromebook is what I use. ?It gives me a full keyboard and touchpad.?

Folks,

Have any of you used a Chromebook to VNC to the headless Pi? It has long battery life and is capable of VNC.?

I have Android phone....screen is too small for me. I don't have a large tablet. I do have a nice Linux laptop but battery life is short compared to a Chromebook.

Thanks

Re: GPS and Build-a-Pi V3

I was having problems with mine.? I used to have to unplug it and reseat it in order for it to start reading data.

?

It has to have a clear line of site with the satellites so I installed a USB extension cord to get it over at the window sill.?

?

Now I just wait a few minutes and it tracks on its own.?

?

Hope that helps.

If you run cgps in the terminal, do you get data?

It is solely based on either the grid or distance.

D-RATS can be found in most Linux Ubuntu ( type ) based OS repositories?(APPs ) libraries =)

D-RATS is basically an internet messenger. Required an internet connection the way I am using it. If I test it thru a radio I'll pass along additional instructions. All you would have to do is install it.

Re: Chromebook

 

Chrome OS is a special case of Linux....so you can't run a linux program directly....and not at all on older Chromebooks. However, you can run Linux programs under a special provision on new CB's. Now, I don't know if you could really run Jason't Build a Pie. Though, I would guess that you could run some of the Ham software....in some manner.?

Here's a project for someone with a new CB go for it....s????

Re: Chromebook

 

I think that any of them will work.....so it's up to you what features you want.

I have succeeded?with a VNC connection to an old out of date Acer and a newer Lenovo S348.?

I have had problems understanding the process...not with the hardware.

Re: Pi 4 and using hot spot

 

YAAC and Xastir have?a way/setting to change to a regional map. However, it accesses by being on the line. There's a check button I didn't notice in Xastir. "Use a new map on restart." This comment makes it it hard to see a proper map of the area one lives at. I'm not sure if unchecked it says as loaded from setup,? I've had other issues in life get in the way.

?I don't any info into adding it to the program. I'm still looking for ways other than being online.

Pat Menu has nothing to do with APRSdroid or APRS. It is an application to help manage Pat Winlink. You can change the map it displays in the Pat Menu settings. There are two choices, USA and World.
