loosing connection to DStar Gateway (Network Status is turning red)

Post by HB9GFX »

I have a Pi Zero W with Nextion 3.2" Display and a Jumbospot. All good so far and it works in all modes perfect.
The only problem I have is, it runs 24/7 and every night it disconnects or looses the connection to the XLX wehre it is parked on.
So I have to restart it in the morning.
The Pi Star is straight installed and instead of the Nextion Display driver nothing else special is configured.
Any thoughts?

Do you have the xlx selected with a tick in startup.
At the end of the overnight updates the services get restarted if youve not got it defaulted to connect on startup that might be why.

Mike, yes all is same as my other MMDVM Spot. The strange thing is the network status turns "RED" this is an issue loosing the connection like it looks.
I am using the same config like my other hotspot for DStar. Only the suffix is changed to HB9GFX P, (portable) and connect to a different Module on the same XLX and I use Wireless Lan because it is a Pi Zero W, and the other one is a Pi4

hi all, I have found the problem.

I used the EA5KL Nextion driver on this Pi Image
After installing a new image and using the ON7LDS Driver all is fine again.
