Re: Pi autostart
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýDave: Thanks for this.? It's just what I was looking for, and I got it

objects
I have been trying to place an object, my first time working with objects. At first it operates as expected, gets transmitted at the initial rate and then decays to the slow rate. But after only a few hours it stops transmitting the object entirely. Not sure what I'm doing wrong? Are there other settings which affect the objects?

Re: NWS Shapefiles
Yes, that's what I was referencing in my last reply. I'm adding more index entries in the help files for the next build of YAAC to make that part of the help files easier to find.

Re: NWS Shapefiles
Yes, YAAC supports the NWS shapefiles. The directions are in YAAC's built-in help, but you just need to download the county and marine shapefile ZIP archives from the National Weather Service website at and then unzip the ZIP archives into wherever you've configured your YAAC tile file directory (usually the YAAC/tiledir subdirectory of your home directory unless you've configured it somewhere else). Once the shapefile DBF datasets are there, YAAC will automatically use them if an APRS text message addressed to NWS-WARN (or related group addresses) is received.

Re: Serial Ports on Mac OS
Catalina, which I think is 10.15
Also, I am using a Keyspan serial adapter, which as far as I can remember, has always presented as a real serial port. Your suggestion to type the port into the box worked for the Serial TNC, but not for the Kenwood option. As I am setting up an iGate, it turns out that Serial TNC is the correct port, so we are all good. |

Re: Serial Ports on Mac OS
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHmmm... Apple strikes again. What version of Mac OS X are you using?Apple apparently changed the naming conventions for serial ports again, so the JSSC library YAAC uses to handle serial ports can't find them
From the listing you are showing, the /dev/tty.KeySerial1 and /dev/tty.USA19H142P1.1 device files would appear to be the real serial ports. Try manually typing one of those names (watching the case, as they are case-sensitive) into the dialog instead of trying to find it on the drop-down list.

Re: Serial Ports on Mac OS
The first thing is to ensure you have permission to access the serial port files in the /dev directory, i.e., files with names like
/dev/tty.serial.* /dev/tty.usbserial.* Also, you need to actually have such files; if you don't, then you don't have any serial ports to access. Your login account should be a member of whatever group these files are a member of. Specifically, do _not_ try to run YAAC as root to get owner access to the serial port files; all you need is group membership. Alas, I don't know what the commands are to add a user to the membership of a group on Mac OS X. Then, once you've joined the group, and logged out and logged in again (so the group membership takes effect), start up YAAC and attempt to create a Port of type Serial_TNC (if you are accessing a KISS TNC), Serial_GPS (if you are accessing a GPS receiver and are _not_ using GPSD), or Serial_Weather (if you have a Peet Bros weather station). Hope that helps.

Re: APRS Station Icon Size
I've found this very useful for bicycle events where I use a 4HD 40-inch flat-screen TV as the monitor (big enough to see the entire course without panning or zooming the map). YAAC's map drawing resolution is so fine with a 3840x2160 resolution monitor that I need to make the SAG vehicle icons bigger so they can be found on the screen. The second option was especially useful the time we had a jammer on the frequency near the Net Control Station, so I had to use wireless Internet access to get to the APRS-IS and receive the SAG trackers via I-gate, because then I was getting tons of other stations via the APRS-IS feed, so I made sure to only double the size of icons for the SAG trackers (and the private [non-transmitted] Objects I posted for the rest areas and finish line).

Re: Solid and dashed lines?
Technically, most of the hop lines are dashed, but if multiple stations are coming through the same last digipeater before your station hears it, the longer dashed lines might obliterate the shorter dashes. Dark green 2-pixel-long dots are for direct path (no intervening digipeater), cyan 4-pixel-long short dashes are for 1 hop away, brown 6-pixel-long wider lines are for 2 hops away, and yellow-orange solid lines are 3 hops away. Note that the hop count is started at the originating station (or I-gate if sent to RF by a Tx I-gate) so several different colors may appear (or sit on top of other colors) near your station. Stations you receive from an Internet connection never get hop lines.
