Zumspot RPi Nextion 3.5 - YSF crashed

Post by W6CJ »

Hello,

I recently purchased a Zumspot Nextion RPi 3.5 from HRO.

After a few weeks of operation on D-Star and YSF, the YSF function failed.

Looking at my dashboard, "NETWORK STATUS" for YSF shows a red tab.
The dashboard also showed "YSF NETWORK SERVICE NOT STARTED".

D-Star continues to work just fine.

As a beginner, I may have overlooked something. Suggestions and help would be appreciated.

73,

Jay

It would be helpful if you open a live log tab and have a look what it reports there.

Hello All & Thanks-

I'm not hearing any YSF traffic on my hotspot any more. (My other YSF dongle works with my handheld).
D-Star is working fine. My pi-star display shows my YSF transmissions.
Maybe shutting off the YSF PARROT would restore the YSF NETWORK, but not sure how to do that?

Under SERVICE STATUS, the following are in green:
MMDVM HOST
IRCDDB GATEWAY
TIME SERVER
YSF PARROT (!!!???)
PI-STAR WATCHDOG

MODES ENABLED are:
D STAR
YSF

NETWORK STATUS is:
YSF NET (In RED!!!!!???)
D-STAR NET (Green)

Log follows below:

Not sure what to recommend exactly, but you would probably benefit from extra debug.

In the Configuration page, select Expert and then MMDVMHost. Scroll down to YSF Network and change debug 0 to debug 1.

Apply changes and have another look at the log output.

One other thing, it's minor but may make some difference. The latest released fw for the Zumspot HAT is v1.4.17 whereas you have 1.4.16.

Brian and all;

Thanks, I'll try Expert mode YSF debug.

Also, I tried updates and factory reset. Under "SERVICE STATUS", YSF PARROT is still "stuck on" and "NETWORK STATUS" still shows YSF Net in red.

All-
I resolved the problem (for the time being).
Although I performed a couple of factory resets; upgrades; updates - it was the third factory reset that did the trick. Operational on YSF and FCS again. Thanks for the suggestions.
