Is the procedure the same as before running the make && stuff again or just do a refresh git?

Actually, yeah, just playing around there, interested in seeing which one (or ones) I would see on the dashboard, or if they would keep changing. A better description is that I was seeing the traffic consistently through DSTAR2, but I was able to connect/disconnect
between DSTAR1 and DSTAR2, and it worked as expected. Anyhow, I can now confirm that I should be using DSTAR2 as my primary, and only connecting to DSTAR1 if I'm having issues with that, unless things change. Makes sense, given geography and expected network
latencies. Anyhow, thanks for the updates, and tips. 73!

There is no need to subscribe to both DSTAR1 and DSTAR2, they are connected to the exact same channel. You're just seen differences depending on which stream arrives at your hot-spot first.

Out of curiosity, since both smart groups have the same traffic
why would you login to both DSTAR1 and DSTAR2?

Thanks, Tom! I just updated, and it's working great. There
are two stations currently talking on DSTAR2 now while I'm
listening to DSTAR1 and DSTAR2, and I knew immediately at a
glance which SG they were on, via the dashboard.

Thanks Al. I just love
questions about Routing!
I just pushed up another release for QnetGateway that
addresses your request. It took me a while to work it out, but
I remembered that the Smart Groups Server sends a text message
"VIA SMARTGP <smartgroupname>" at the beginning of every
transmission you hear. Your radio occasionally will display
this if you watch carefully, but usually it's overwhelmed by
the senders own text message. With this new release
QnetGateway captures that "VIA" message and uses it in the
Last Heard Section of the dashboard.
So the old column that showed "Linking" or "Routing" now shows
either the Smart Group of the voice stream it's coming from,
or the reflector module it's coming from, if you are linked.
There is also a new column that shows on which configured
module the activity is happening. This is not too important to
those of us with single module systems, but it's a necessity
for those with multi-module systems.
Addressing your final comment, I agree. The Dashboard is of
questionable value to a mobile user. Not installing the
dashboard will prevent the mini-PHP Web server from running.
However, Sqlite3 is still required for QnetGateway as this is
how the gateway knows to which reflector the link module is
linked.

I see that but do not know how the LINK box now shows the proper REFXXX and module.. I did not update. it just fixed.

I just updated QnetGateway on my base station Pi-3B, and its working great for me. The Pi-Zero in my truck is next.
I'm not sure how you're soliciting feature requests, but: Is there a way to have the dashboard show on which Smart Group each Last Heard station was heard? When monitoring several groups, if someone does not ID which group they're on, the only way I've found to figure out which to switch over to is to check the and pages.
Other than that, everything's working great so far. I really appreciate the lightweight nature of QnetGateway vs. Pi-Star, which I like, but it seems to have an extra kitchen sink or two, which are probably not necessary, especially for mobile comms.

Heard you on the MMDV net last night and did the updates as instructed.
Comments.. The "Linked to" box under modules.. has an error instead of REF030C it says T## C where ## is a square box indicating a charater not in the font file.
I'd like the CPU box on the system folder on the left... Since CPU temp is the most important and I tend to layer a 2nd window over it but that.. is a nit....
Looking good overall. good improvment in the dashboard. the other changes are more "Transparent" to me so I can not comment on them.

Two big internal changes and an improvement in the dashboard are in this release: - The "follow-me" cache used for routing has been completely redesigned. There is no longer two independent caches for the IRC core (which communicates with the QuadNet server) and gateway (which handles the follow-me info for routing by the user). With this release, both functions use the same cache. This has a positive effect on both the speed of the gateway and the size of the gateway program.
- The rptr_status file that was used to let the gateway know what the linking status of each module has been eliminated and this function has been moved to the same database that the dashboard "Last Heard" section use. Again this has a positive effect on the speed and size of both the gateway and the linking program.
- The dashboard has been improved:
- A section has been added for System Information, including the cpu temperature, if available.
- You can now control the content and order of each section on your dashboard. Please use ./qnconfig to see how this works. (Go to the "D" Dashboard Menu.)
If you are using ./qnadmin to compile and install, before you do that, go to your build directory and do a "make clean && git pull" as several cpp files are no longer in the distribution, then you can compile and install your system.

Re: new web-based dashboard for QnetGateway
John ? The command you reference is a raspberry pi command, so it wouldn’t be compatible with non-raspberry pi systems, I don’t think.? They use an ARM processor and have some proprietary firmware. QnetGateway is designed to run on x86/x64, arm, arm64, etc, so we would need to find a way to measure the CPU temp that is compatible across all systems in order to add the feature. ?It is an interesting idea, though, just not sure on how cross-compatible it is with other systems.? I’m sure we can look into it. Thanks for the suggestion. ? Colby ?

Re: new web-based dashboard for QnetGateway
Well.. One final post from me in this thread... And It contains some :) :) :) :) :) :)
?
SUCCESS AT LAST it's up. it' srunning It works as I hoped it will for the most part Shows both INternal and IP4 Ip addresses (my router does not IP6 or so I'm told) and the call of the ham who just called in... IT's updating every xx seconds as it shoud and Yup shows the last two hams who used the reflector now YIPPIE
?
THere is some stuff on the display I can do without.. but I also understand the value of it but the stuff I want.. I GOT
?
?
One last "nit"..? on the Dashboard config menu it has the optoion to turn off the process display.. Since these do not change I should only need 'em during Debug
?
But in the qn.cfg file it shows the true/false for IP address. but there is no entry for the porcesses.? ? Did you forget that?? If so I assume the next update will correct it so no need to reply to this...? But it's workign and that' sthe big thing I can "Tunnel vision" out the stuff I dont' want.

Re: new web-based dashboard for QnetGateway
Well at least it seems to be working but it also seems to have locked up my PI-zero
So I restarted and it gave me a command to use sudo dpkg --configure -a if I copyied it right (have yet to figure out how to copy from Linux side of this chroebook to Chrome side)
Well now it is stuck at
Creating config file /etc/php/78.3/fpm/php.ini with new version
And there it's hung

Re: new web-based dashboard for QnetGateway
Took a second stab at app update.
Appears to work
Progress bar was at 60% when I last looked (Same computer I'm typing on but different program)
So I'll know more in a couple minutes.
