Re: TT4TrackerConfig software.?
Thanks.? I was wondering, as I am resurrecting an old TT4 (2012-ish?) and TinyTrak4 Alpha Config v0.68 is what I used at the time. Are there any issues using it with the v0.72 firmware? (I flashed

Re: MTT4BT Digipeater, weather station, Beacon, and Message issues....
There is provision for a local time stamp tht indicates it is not real-time but CPU clock time. I instead of ending with DDHHMMz it ends (I think) with HHMMSSh from the last time the CPU was started.

Re: MT4BB Voltage Accuracy
If the TVOLTTWK adjusts the reading by 27mV, it implies an offset (not a gain change).That was why I asked the question. Next point:As I read the TT4 firmware manual, the telemetry output is either

Re: MTT4BT Digipeater, weather station, Beacon, and Message issues....
The APRS weather without location seems to require a time stamp. Looking at raw data on aprs.fi for w1bst; it appears that way.

Re: MTT4BT Digipeater, weather station, Beacon, and Message issues....
Any system that does not have an active GPS should not use an APRS protocol that includes a time stamp. There should be a non-time-stamp version of every packet type. (I hope) Bob, WB4APR

Re: MT4BB Voltage Accuracy
Rob, you really get me going with your posts. Thank you. What we know: Vin is voltage divided: 2.2/12.2 = 0.180 Vin has diode protection dropping it ~0.2 V Vadc = 0.180*(Vin-0.2) = Vin*0.180 - 0.036

Re: TT4 with Peet Ultimiter Troubleshooting
From my observation of PEET serial data; 0 is a reported value. Non- reported values are a dash "-". Values are in HEX. Fwiw

Re: MTT4BT Digipeater, weather station, Beacon, and Message issues....
Gil, that is what I read too. Rob, the PEET data has a date (MM/dd) and time (hh:mm) in the packet it sends (data or packet modes). The TT4 is decoding like this is a leap year. It is a day behind

Re: MT4BB Voltage Accuracy
Although I understand these are just "indicators", I would have guessed the resistors would be 5% or 1% (typically not a big cost hit). I always wondered how the TVOLTTWK value worked.? Is it an

Re: MTT4BT Digipeater, weather station, Beacon, and Message issues....
You have a TEXT port and a PEET port, so no GPS port. I am curious how the MTT4BT gets a time and date with no GPS attached? As far as I can tell, there is no RTC and no means of setting the time.The

Re: MT4BB Voltage Accuracy
Although the TELVOLTTWK has a resolution of 0.27v / bit, so you should be able to do the math and get it close in 1 shot (1.5 / 0.27 or 4 - 5 bits.? Since you said "almost", I set TELVOLTTWK 124 and

Thank you Robert! I am just using the ^V method, however I will turn on the telemetry option as well since it will likely produce a sexy graph in APRS.fi that is something I can check from anywhere

MT4BB Voltage Accuracy
Good day, I've got two MTT4BT's deployed in Central BC as digi's. We're finding that the voltage they're reporting is off by more than a volt each. One, "TWOSIS" is low by about 1.5V most of the time,
