Hello Dean,

I think my previous email was partially misleading/wrong (sorry about that).? It's important that you download one of the "Raspbian" AppImage files which should work for your Raspberry Pi.? To tell which one you need, log into your Raspberry Pi, open up a terminal window and run the command "uname -a".? Here are two examples:

?? #Notice the "armv6l" string - that means 32bit
?? Linux ampr2 6.1.21+ #1642 Mon Apr? 3 17:19:14 BST 2023 armv6l GNU/Linux

?? #Notice the "aarch64" string - that means 64bit
?? Linux rpi5 6.6.74+rpt-rpi-2712 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.6.74-1+rpt1 (2025-01-27) aarch64 GNU/Linux


Knowing if your OS is 32bit or 64bit, you need to download and run the correct AppImage:

?? #This is for 32bit OSes
?? -

?? # This is for 64bit OSes
?? -

Give that a try and let us know if you still have issues.

David,

Thanks for the response. I downloaded this file:? ?? -

That is the Raspbian 6 4 bit version. Ok, if these are for Intel/AMD X86 processors.. then that is my problem. I have been using HAMRS on a small laptop in the park just about every day. I am looking for a smaller footprint and this touch screen seemed to fit the bill. I will take your advice and look for another logger.

Hello Dean,

?

I downloaded the HAMRS app and cannot get it to execute. I downloaded appImage, several different flavors but nothing works. Obviously I am doing something wrong but where? I have reviewed youtube videos and tutorials but they are old like 5 years ago. HAMRS? touts itself as a new app just being built up recently.

Did you go to and clicked on "Linux" or Raspian which downloads:

If so, the name of the filenames gives away your first issue.? These AppImages are for Intel/AMD X86 processors.. not ARM which is in your Raspberry Pi.? It's possible to run this program under an X86 emulator on your Raspberry Pi but it's going to get complicated pretty fast.? Are you very specifically looking at just this one logging program??? There are a LOT of other logging programs for Linux that should be simple to install and operate.
