4.2.0 Beta feedback
Re: 4.2.0 Beta feedback
I tested it with YSF, YSF2DMR and POCSAG. All are working. I haven't noticed any glitches or gotchas or any weird behavior. I'm using a generic Zumspot-style simplex hotspot with a Pi Zero W and STM-32 MMDVM_HS GPIO hat and OLED type 3.

Re: 4.2.0 Beta feedback
1. After updating pi-star to version 4.1.8 and higher on raspberry pi, FM did not work when using MMDVM modem protocol 1. When using DMR there are many beers.
Tags appeared - it is solved by replacing the old files mmdvmhost, mmdvmhost_adafruit, mmdvmcal from the old pi-star 4.1.7.
2. Is it possible to add an FM switch in MMDVMHost Configuration > Setting where DMR mods and others are?

Re: 4.2.0 Beta feedback
The fm side of things hasn't been fully integrated as yet. Fm isn't a mode that hotspots can run and pistars main focus has always been with that of a hotspot user.
If u've not updated ur boards f/w yet to 1.6.1 try that as its needed for the newer mmdvmhost were using in these latest pistar releases. you might want to also make changes to the uart speed in the mmdvmhost expert section to see if ur board caters to (uses) the higher speeds.

This doesn't work above 115200 for v1.6.1 with my HS_Dual_Hat. It may be hard-coded in the modem firmware as Config.h is set forM1DNS wrote: ↑Tue Jan 30, 2024 7:52 pm If u've not updated ur boards f/w yet to 1.6.1 try that as its needed for the newer mmdvmhost were using in these latest pistar releases. you might want to also make changes to the uart speed in the mmdvmhost expert section to see if ur board caters to (uses) the higher speeds.

Please see the note about FM here: https://github.com/g4klx/MMDVM/blob/mas ... 69C1-L74C1EU2AU wrote: ↑Tue Jan 30, 2024 5:40 pm 1. After updating pi-star to version 4.1.8 and higher on raspberry pi, FM did not work when using MMDVM modem protocol 1. When using DMR there are many beers.

FM really isn't supported at 115200 any more, you need to use faster serial.
What board are you running? MMDVMHost will detect serial at 115200/protocol 1 and disable FM (you will see this in the MMDVMHost log).
I have added the legacy branch (see announcements) to help anyone that has a need to run the older code.

Error in the D-Star Config - Last letter in the DStar callsign - D-Star Configuration RTP1 Callsign:
the last letter after my call sign always changes from "F" allways to the letter "B".
You just need to set the mode from DStar to DMR and back to Dstar. And now the Letter ist anytime "B"
Info for Andy.

Re: 4.2.0 Beta feedback
Just cant seem to get my Nextion screen to work after updating hat to 1.6.1.
I have a Raspberry Pi Model B Plus Rev 1.2 with my Nextion screen wired directly to the hat (as in no USB dongle). My Nextion keeps saying that the driver is not loaded. That did seem to be the case when I checked, so I downloaded the latest driver which was a few minor revs better than what I originally had. If I run the check install script it says that the driver is there and loaded but my Nextion screen keeps saying its not found.
I am suspecting something simple that I am overlooking would fix me, but am stuck. I have tried everything I can think of but so far nada.
Help is ALWAYS appreciated! TY Andy!

Re: 4.2.0 Beta feedback
Is that new in 4.2.x ? I have not changed any of the code around that. The lat letter is supposed to designate the band, A = 23cm, B = 70cm, C = 2M, D= 1.25M (or sometimes Data access).DL4YCC wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 6:36 pm Error in the D-Star Config - Last letter in the DStar callsign - D-Star Configuration RTP1 Callsign:

Re: 4.2.0 Beta feedback
Hello, I can't say if it's new! I have FW 4.20beta on all hotspots.
I think it's not new! The problem has existed for a long time.
The letter should not always change to "B".
Best regards

Re: 4.2.0 Beta feedback
The standard for D-Star is that 70cm band = "B", this is why the dashboard does that.
