Re: Can a Nextion display be connected to OLED on MMDVM?

OLEDs are SPI devices, Nextion are Serial - so I cant see how this could work.

Code: Select all

You need to be root to run this command...

pi-star@pi-star(ro):~$ sudo pistar-findmodem

OK I can live with that :)

Re: Boot up errors

Neither - those are normal. All of the services are always enabled - and then the service handlers read the config and decide if the process should really start - so if they are off/not configured - they will "fail" but thats a soft error really. MTA is crippled on purpose, and the save/lo...

Re: Can PiStar GUI by installed on the RPi 3B+

I'm not at all surprised - I don't maintain the script, or how it works, and have always said that its not a supported or supportable thing to do.
