Pi-Star REMOTE

[VE3DSL]

How about "WIFI SSID" ?

And "Wifi RSSI"

Both these would be nice when you do not have access to the dashboard.

BTW. Great work on PISTAR.

WiFi SSID and RSSI query for D-Star mode added;

Add some commands to your pistar-remote for "wifissid" and "wifirssi"

Code: Select all

[d-star]
# UR fields
svckill=SVCKILL
svcrestart=SVCRSTRT
reboot=REBOOTPI
#shutdown=SHUTDOWN
wifissid=WIFISSID
wifirssi=WIFIRSSI
#8Ball=8BALL

Please remember that this can give away information you might not want to give away on a repeater, so repeater keepers probably wont want to add these, or maybe want to keep them commented out.

Hi Folks

Sorry for the slow reply.

Yes this is my wish list. I do most of my remote command via the radio. These two would help in diagnostics.


wifissid=WIFISSID
wifirssi=WIFIRSSI

ps: You doing a fantastic job. I don't know how you find the time.
the 8 ball works for me to. hihi.
