Re: Disable Shari PiHat Green Blinking Light
I never noticed it since mine is two rooms away
with what is essentially a 3/4 wave dipole on it.
I put a 3/4 wave radiator and a 3/4 wave counterpoise on it.
This stopped the hum I was getting. It stopped my node
from using the power wire as the counterpoise.
I wanted a wide angle footprint in this condo.
The clip on torroid is still? there at the power cube.
It's not enough.

Interested as well... although black electrical tape is
working for me currently, it looks unsightly.

I'd rather have the light blink to indicate a problem, rather
than having it blink for decoration / heartbeat indication, if
that's an option?

Re: Disable Shari PiHat Green Blinking Light
Thanks Hank,
I think I'm going to have to do something similar. I actually have most of my internet devices in my shack a.k.a. family den.

When I removed all the "extras" (ie autosky and broadcastify) still had the issue, I am looking at things I changed in settings.?

As long as I don't connect out it's fine.

Re: Disable Shari PiHat Green Blinking Light
Rick I did exactly what you did and my wife did not like the Green flashing light either.? I decided to move my router to? my shack by splitting the cancers to the TV and then to the internet box in the shack.? It is great to now run my computer off the router that provides higher speed than wifi.

Does anyone happen to know where that command line is located so I can comment "out" the status light, or is their a setting somewhere I'm missing, or possibly another alerterntive beside covering the led.

I have the 52pi build with the Lexan "smoked" cover which definetly allows you to see all of the lights.

My rationale is that if I have a "comm" issue, I'll be logging into the node anyway and I can comment "in" the status light.
Thanks for the help,

Disable Shari PiHat Green Blinking Light

This sounds very much like an issue I had with my node. I just switched to a different pi & SD card and it was fine. I plan to eventually reinstall everything on the original pi but haven't felt the need or had the time yet.?
?
I did wonder if it had something to do with autosky but don't know why that would be.?
|
Any one else having problems with the node keying up and staying keyed for the duration of the time out then going back to normal??
mine does this then works like normal for a bit then does it again staying keyed up till the time out timer. at random intervals.
?
{Editors note:
i have this connected to my repeater via RF.?
?
I have autosky installed and the COS led. (followed directions i found by created by N8AR and WA3DSP.)?
uninstalled the COS to see if that fix's the issue, or if not i will further uninstall other stuff to see if that helps.
also got broadcastify to work.
?
any one else having this issue?
?
BTW no feed back re-key is happening. works just fine till it doesnt then messes up.? .}

Re: Shari PiHatU (Unistorm) beeping upon bootup
Indeed nodes were all on same frequency, so HT radios could work any of them if powered up.

Re: Shari PiHatU (Unistorm) beeping upon bootup
Sa818 isn’t known for being too terribly selective.?? Even an adjacent frequency could cause this.

Subject: [SHARI] Shari PiHatU (Unistorm) beeping upon bootup
?
Just a quick heads up.. I pulled my Shari PiHat U off the shelf after being off for 8-9 months.? I was in the midst
of updating all my images with SuperMon7.4+.?? Two of my previous nodes completed upgrades fine.? However,
when plugging in my Unistorm, it booted up, was seen on the network, but proceeded to PTT and send beep on
monitor receiver repeatedly. I would say the beep was every second.? It would never stop even after a couple reboots.
Finding: All the beeping disappeared, and Unistorm was back to working like it did 9 months back, AFTER I unplugged
the other RPI based Allstar nodes I had live and online.? I am guessing this beeping stemmed from port conflicts.

Re: Shari PiHatU (Unistorm) beeping upon bootup
I'm guessing what probably happened is that you have multiple
nodes on the same frequency, and they pingponged back and forth
for a while.

I have had this occur if another of my nodes is on the same frequency.

Re: WiFi issue on SHARI PiHatU (Unistorm)
Anything blocking the signal will cause it not to work correctly?
After I put together my PiHatU and tried to connect it to my Wifi (2.4G), it would either not connect at all or connect for a short time then disconnect. When I switched to a 5G connection (same access point), it works fine. I am wondering if the all metal Unistorm case may be causing issues on 2.4G. Anyone else having this issue? Thanks.

Re: Random keyups with PiHatU
Yes, still keys up . This node is in an isolated area in Rocky Mountains so stray rf is out.?
