Re: GPS and Build-a-Pi V3
I, too, run Build-a-Pi 3.0.3 on a Pi 3B+.? When I boot up, my GPS is assigned to "/dev/ttyACM0".? Occasionally, my pi changes the GPS to a different port, usually /dev/ttyACM1 or ACM2.? I suspect one cause is RF, but I am not sure yet.? When this happens, Conkey cannot see the GPS anymore, and all of the data columns in cgps (PRN, Elev, Azim, SNR, and USED) are blank.? A reboot brings everything back to normal.? I suspect you may be experiencing the same thing.? I suspect that the GPS daemon is looking for the GPS to be on /dev/ttyACM0, not on dev/ttyACM1.? (Jason may be able to shed light on this).
Right after a reboot, open the terminal and type cgps as Jason suggested, but do it before you start any other programs.? Take note of the device at the third or forth line from the bottom "device":"/dev/ttyXXXX" and let us know what you see.? You will be helping me troubleshoot my "moving device" as well as your inability to read the GPS problem.

None of my Pi's are showing on network _ HELP
I'm copying a post I made to the Raspberry pi ham radio group. I have installed BAP on two of the PI's and that may or may no be an issue. I need your help, Pi gurus. After I changed my router none of the PI's that I use for Ham Radio show up. I know what you are about to say - you have to change the settings for the network. Here's what I have done without luck:
- Reinstalled the images to micro sd cards
- Changed the wpa_supplicant file to the appropriate settings
- Created the blank ssh file
- Installed the SD cards and rebooted each device
- Ran an ip scanner
- Connected an ethernet cable to my pc from the devices.
- Connected the Pi's directly to the router with Ethernet
Nada. - nothing The PI's are 3B, 4 (4gb), and a jumbospot. Thanks in advance K7TP

Do you have a green flashing light on the GPS? If not, this let's you know that the GPS doesn't have a lock on the satellites. ? --

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. ? Jeremy Pierce KM6QAQ ?

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????

Really appreciate all of the work that has been put into Build a Pi

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.
