Hi, where is the passcode supposed to be entered in YAAC for the server? I am not communicating with any server and am confused about what needs to be done to make that happen. Thanks in advance for your help. KB8UIH

Yes in the Beacon Settings next to "Monitor Frequency"

Thanks

Can you be a little more specific? In what UI panel are you trying to enter a monitor frequency? In your beacon setting? For a repeater Object? In a filter? Or somewhere else?

I can't put anything above 147.000 in the Monitor Frequency.
Trying to input 147.210 and it jumps from 147.000 to 430.000.

Thanks

I will have to check the options again, thank you!

Now I am even more intrigued about how you are rendering the OSM data, that is awesome, and would be useful in my project as well. I could get rid of my beast of tile server for our local AREDN network! +1
That sounds like it must've been the citys chamber of commerce trying to get all the local businesses onto google or something, that's crazy!

Thank you again Andrew!

Hope to hear you on the air sometime.

YAAC has a "dark mode" available in its configuration options, though it still needs a few tweaks. I also haven't gotten it to where the dark mode can be automatically switched on and off by the clock.

YAAC renders its maps from scratch directly from the raw OSM vector data (after some optimization in how that data is stored), so it can render at any zoom level (not just the quantized levels used by map tile servers), and certain map features can be enabled or disabled as desired (one user had to turn off business type icons because someone had gone to the immense effort of identifying every single business and their types of business in every business district and strip mall in his town, so at inner zoom levels, his map was very cluttered until he turned off business types he didn't care about).

Thanks for the reply, I understand.
I think was just worried about having to download (or render) another 10's of GB of maps, but I kinda see what your doing now.
Plus, I run my own tile server and I have been trying to learn how to render some "Dark Mode" tiles with it.
It'd be nice to use those tiles at night in the truck, the "Truck-Pi" can get a bit blinding.

If it's not too much work, put me in for a feature request for using pre-rendered tiles.
(or a request for a native YAAC "dark mode".)

When I get some time, I am going to have to look deeper at how you are generating your maps.

It could be useful for the AREDN<> map<> that I have.

Thanks again for an awesome program!

At the present time, no, these pre-rendered tiles are not understood by YAAC. YAAC uses its own means of dynamically rendering a map that is incompatible with the public tile servers.

Sorry.

Hello all.
Thank you for creating YAAC, it seems to be one of the only APRS programs that will work with Yaesu's weird data output.

Thanks!

I have a question about map tiles.

I am running YAAC on a RasPi in my truck, it generally has NO connection to the internet.

It is already loaded with about 60GB of map tiles from OSM, OpenTopo, BingAerial, etc.

These tiles were cached via a GPS program called "Viking" ()

The tile directories are arranged in the "/{z}/{x}/{y}.png" format.



Is there any way I can get YAAC to use these existing tiles?

Good day,

We had an amazing presentation surrounding APRS by Jason (KM4ACK) at our last club meeting where he introduced us to YAAC. Most of my group are technically basic and lean into Windows as an operating system. As we also have Rob from Mobilinkd in our backyard we have a few of us using the TNC product line.

Previously to YAAC, I used PinPoint which seems to work fine with windows and TNC4.

During my testing I have found a few struggles.

• The TNC4 Bluetooth connection drops after paring and will not persist - PinPoint when configured reestablishes the connection upon port connection, and then the Bluetooth connection persists. I'm leaning towards YAAC as the issue since PP works.
• I'm not sure what the proper settings should be for the TNC4 and YAAC. This may null the above point.

Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance,

Anyone been successful in configuring a direct link between the 3?

Andrew,

I built this Raspberry Pi for NODE RED and that works but I guess I forgot to install Java. ? The install fixed the problem and my Icon is working.?

Thank you as always. ?

PS this one stays at the QTH my other 3 are digipeaters for the bike ride in the fall. ?

Easiest way is to open a Terminal window (lxterm or whatever you have installed on your system), then type the command:

java -version

If that prints out 2 or 3 lines of version information, you have a working Java runtime. If you get an error message "java: command not found" or something of that ilk, then you haven't installed Java, and you need to execute the command

sudo apt-get install default-jre

Hope this helps.

Danny,

looking at yours and now i am beginning to think I do not have Java installed. Please let me know how to test for Java and if I do not what version I need to install.

I don't know if .ico files are acceptable to Raspbian. That is the variant of Microsoft Windows .bmp files used for icons. However, you could convert the .ico file to a .png file with Gimp, and then reference the .png file instead.

I think I will add that to the next YAAC build.

Hello All,

I found this discussion and I am trying to get an Icon of YAAC on my Raspberry Pi desktop. I do not what is stopping my Icon from working.

My desktop file

[Desktop Entry]
Name=YAAC
Exec=java -jar /home/pi/YAAC/YAAC.jar/
Icon=/home/pi/YAAC/images/yaaclogo64.ico
TerminalS=false
Type=Application
Categories=HamRadio

The error I am getting looks like some type of permission.

Invalid desktop entry file'/home/pi/Desktop?yaac64.desktop'

I want to get this working and I do not know how to clear the error.

thanks Andrew -

That took me the other direction, which is that it did permanent full screen, so I can't use the taskbar to access other apps running. I guess I'll stay as is.
