I’ve been on V1.4.8 for months, but just now I read a note on another thread from Toshen, saying that the latest FW for the ZUMspot is 1.4.12. Is that also true for the MMDVM_HS hats?

I’m curious too, Gary. I sent a PM to G0FEA, to or from whom many WX messages have appeared, asking if he could share any script he might be using. So far no repsonse but he might not have seen my inquiry.

The Model 8 Dashboard version is working pretty well via the USB port on my JSpot/Pi0W hotspot but I’m curious about the space marked “System Message.” Nothing ever appears there. Is that a not-yet-implemented feature, or do I have to configure something? What’s supposed to happen in that space? Whi...

The “RPI_V3.4.16....” image is the only one that will run on the Pi Zero and Zero W. It runs on all versions of authentic Pi boards except the Pi3B+.If you have the latter board there’s a beta version of Pi-Star that apparently works fine on it. Find it at http://www.pistar.uk/beta/. If you have the...

Hadn’t known there was a 3.2 enhanced. I see it has 4x the memory of the basic. Getting curious, I went to the Github.com site for Model 8 downloads and found there is a model 8 Globe version for the 3.2” screen: https://github.com/PD0DIB/Nextion_HAM-radio-screens/blob/master/MODEL%208/GLOBE/Model%2...

Model 8 is too large a file for the amount of storage space on the 3.2” Basic. I have that same screen and could not load anything larger than the earlier Model 7 screen on it. I ordered a 3.5” Enhanced screen—it has 8 times the storage space—to run the Model 8 screens. I didn’t check to see if ther...

I had this same problem. Copying the driver to the /dev folder solved it for me too. Such an easy solution, I wonder why it didn’t happen during installation? Maybe I should have done an “rpi-rw” command before running the install. Anyway, thanks for posting! PS: Maybe ON7LDS’s new installation scri...

Thanks Toshen. HS for High Speed was one of the meanings I speculated about but whether it meant high speed refresh, high speed CPUs, or just a setting for people who live fast, I couldn’t decide. With either ON7 layout, the display rewrites itself every 40 seconds or so but otherwise performs norma...

Just curious. I see that besides the L3 layout there’s an L3 HS layout, but what does the HS mean? My Nextion with Rob’s model 7 file works with either layout, but it’s got my curiousity piqued. There must be some important difference, no?

In the past 6 months or so I’ve had two of the .96” yellow/blue OLED displays go dead. No apparent reason, they’re perking along just fine and then they’re blank and cannot be revived by any method I can find on Google. The hotspot PS is plugged in to a UPS/line filter of a reputable brand and nothi...
