Re: Public Wifi Issue
Well, after a bit of reading, I think I am going to give this box a shot... https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B07712LKJM/ezvid02-20?th=1 It will connect to work/hotel wifi and then provide its own wifi connectable network. It also works with popular VPN providers and Open-WRT router software. ...

Re: Public Wifi Issue
I found this article... https://pixstar.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/497445-solution-to-connect-to-a-public-network-or-public But it appears to be old and the device does not appear to be available anymore. Which leads me to wonder if something like this would work? https://www.amazon.com/TP...

Re: Public Wifi Issue
I like the built in web browser idea and it would likely work. But I doubt the dev's have the time to fool with that as a solution. It would take quite a bit of work and it would only be useful to a small subset of pi-star users who are already only a small subset of hams, who are a small subset of ...

Re: Nextion screen layout for dual time slot with last heard ID and last heard talk group
Since pistar runs (normally) with the main partition/SD card set to Read-Only, there should be no real need to use a shutdown command -- there is no data to be flushed to SD card before the power is dropped. Does that include the underlying Raspbian? I am by no means an expert! I have always heard ...

Re: Public Wifi Issue
I have pondered the same thing... I found a possible solution where folks use a MAC address spoofing app on their rooted android phone. I presume one could spoof the pi-star wifi MAC address, get authorized, then power up pi-star to connect to the wifi requiring a web page authorization/logon prior ...

Re: Nextion screen layout for dual time slot with last heard ID and last heard talk group
Personally i wouldn't use a nextion in a portable setup. My Jumbo (which is my portable spot) has the OLED and I hardly ever look at it.. even when parked. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Good point... I have a zumspot with no screen and a Chinese jumbo spot with the OLED. They are much smalle...

Re: Nextion screen layout for dual time slot with last heard ID and last heard talk group
If you're talking about mine, here's the seller I bought from: https://www.ebay.com/usr/radiosounds?_trksid=p2047675.l2559 Message him and tell him your screen size if he doesn't have one listed. He's a fellow ham, and real great to work with. I thought about that one... A little big for what I nee...

Re: Nextion screen layout for dual time slot with last heard ID and last heard talk group
Thanks for the tips!!! Yeah, after some reading I found it was rather easy. I downloaded a few MHI files as you suggested and figured out how the compile the tft files for my model. Now if I could find a 3D printable case that I like. I have tried two, but both left me wanting. Thanks for all the he...

Re: Nextion screen layout for dual time slot with last heard ID and last heard talk group
Okay, I am starting to figure it out. Geez, I did not realize there were so many sub models of these screens. I was looking for an easier out... Appears there is not one, so on to the work.

Re: Nextion screen layout for dual time slot with last heard ID and last heard talk group
Well, that part I kinda figured on my own. I am pretty sharp like that... Usually. How does one know which is which... I have not noticed any guidelines on which model numbers are or are not compatible. Being the same manufacturer, same size, and visibly the same, where do I look to know the right o...
