Amusement: I want my Direqorl on a Raspberry PI to be an Igate but I will be. mile


 

So I have configured the IGATE servers and logged?in.

I would now like to beacon over the iGate port if it is connected over internet.

Since I am moving PBEACON?does not seem like it would work.

So how does one do this?

Hello Don,

If your Direwolf setup has a GPS and you have configured a TBEACON (not a PBEACON) have you found it's NOT sending the position packets to your IGATE??? Can you show us what you configured for your TBEACON line from the direwolf.conf file as well as the terminal output when you start Direwolf?
?
Please note: PBEACONS are intended for static locations.. moving locations use TBEACONs (see the Direwolf User Guide Section 9.11.4 for full details)

David Ranch:

no I looked?in the manual and all the PBEACONS?had coordinates configured so I assumed that PBEACONS are static.? I sense I may be confused on this point.

David:

from the manual:

PBEACON

-?for a ¡°position report.¡± This is generally used for your own location.?It has a fixed position. Later we will discuss TBEACON which gets the location from a GPS receiver.

Hello Don,

I edited my response as I didn't fully get your question but I later figured it out.? TBEACON and possibly SmartBeaconing (variable rate tranmissions) is what you're looking for.

It was not sending positpons?to the Igate.

On a whim I added sendto-IG to the TBECON command.

that works but does not?appear to be documented as a possible parameter of TBEACON.

Hello Don,

I can see how you would say it's not documented as Section 9.11.4 (TBEACON) doesn't have a table like how Sections 9.11.1 (PBEACON and OBEACON) and 9.11.2 (Custom beacons).? If you feel this is an important omission, please create a Github "issue" at so it's not forgotten.
