Thanks for the answer.

It's not my intention to display the data (contents) on the Nextion, but only to have a status code when it occurs.
At the moment there is nothing to display so the Nextion 'hangs' until hangtime-timeout or another valid status-code occurs, while the pi-star dashboard ...

Can a status code be added when receiving SMS/DATA/GPS transmissions for use in Nextion layout?
Thanks! Adri.

I use 12ctools to control the OLED over SSH

After struggling to get my three pi-star hotspots back online after BM refused connecting two devices with the same ID (suddenly after a update, has always worked ok), i can not see anymore which sub-id (01, 02 or 03) i'm using on the dashboard.

Pi-Star AutoAP has been patched so that it no longer keeps the disk in RW mode, you will need an update and a reboot if you want to test it with the AutoAP active.


Thanks Andy !

Tested it with all my hotspots now AutoAP on and they are all running fine.

Can rpi-rw / edit some file / rpi-rw without trouble.
Can do nightly updates without trouble.
Can do manual update/upgrade without trouble.
Guess i'm lucky

I used samba to view the log ...

Hi all,

Tried this on my RPI 2b+ with DVMEGA Single HAT and a on my RPI Zero-W with Chinese single Jumbo HAT (running POCSAG).
