Re: pistar-mmdvmcal - board not supported

When you put it in those terms I guess I thought mmdvm was the firmware on a DVMega. I now understand they are different hardware devices. Is there any other way to determine offsets, other than the trial and error method for a DVMega? I just purchased a Rigol DSO5104 and I am eager to use it for pr...

Re: pistar-mmdvmcal - board not supported

KE7FNS Can you elaborate on this?

Re: Newbie needs help adding nextion screen to ZUMspot

I dowloaded the file, compiled it using the Nextion Editor (v.053), and copied it to the microSD card. Next I con...

Re: Format SD Card to Work on Nextion in windows 10

Thank you very much this works on Windows 10. It is very slow to format but the format is usable. Thanks 73, W9KJO Use windows to format the sd. The type of formatting is what's throwing you off the success path. FAT16 or FAT32 is the type of format you need on the sd card. FAT32 is preferred. Down...

Re: Is Your Display Shutting Off?

FYI - I posted this earlier and didn't think to provide the necessary steps to add the settings to the appropriate location. 1. SSH into your Pi-Star system 2. Issue 'rpi-rw' to switch to read/write mode 3. Change to the /etc directory 4. Make a backup copy of the mmdvmhost file in your home direct...
