Would this OLED display work for a MMDVM hat display? Or is the length too much & things won't display correctly? So far I've only used the. 096 size oled screens.

PiGate and AX25 (was Re: PiGate and VARA HF)
Do you know if someone created similar PiGate functionality but for AX25?
When in a shelter, we don't have a reliable RMS but we do have a bbs.

Re: Capturing output of rigctl commands with Bash
Thanks for the responses. I wasn't specific enough about what I was trying to do, and Adam's guess was spot on. I was overthinking this and trying to use a pipe (|) and grep. Turns out it was just the simple variable assignment in Adam's first line. I think I had tried that but didn't get the syntax correct.
?
Eventually this script will be folded in with some other code that will be run periodically by either chron or systemd to see if VARA, rigctld, and Flrig is running on a Raspberry Pi for a BPQ HF port.? Not sure exactly sure what radio we will run yet but this is the last piece of the puzzle I need to make sure things restart after a power failure. There is a generator on campus but I can't test the generator startup and Murphy likes to hang out at remote locations.
?
Again, thanks for responding. Now for the next challenge.

Hi Dan,
I can not get VARA HF to work on any program on my PI 5. VARA will receive ok but will shut off when commanded to Transmit. VARA did work in the past, I think a System update broke something.

Re: PiGate RMS Documentation ?
PiGateRMS does not depend on a specific TNC or even a TNC.? It could be an audio interface like a DRA-30.? Under the covers, PiGateRMS uses G8BPQ so you could change its config file to use a different TNC or audio device.
