bit & bobs to continue the mini repeater builds out Pi Zero 2 W and #MMDVM boards with #W0CHP dashboard software

#hamradio #digital

Not the greatest soldering on the headers on the Pi Zero 2 W but should do the job. This setup will be running #WPSD by #W0CHP and setup as mini repeater with #FreeDMR with #DMR2YSF cross-over.

So my adventures in my #DMR #hotspot continue! lol

I got #W0CHP loaded on my hotspot and connected to the Wi-Fi! So that's a success!

It took several tries on different SD cards, but I got it.

The downside is that the config pages whether using the latest Dashboard or the old one, doesn't appear to save anything when I click "Apply Changes"

so, a few steps forward! I'll take it.

At least I can play with it on my phone via #Termux and a Wi-Fi hotspot from my phone

Well this evening I had a really good chat to friend in Germany via a #YSF reflector in the UK, and I was doing #DMR2YSF cross-over at my end and it worked really well, it was my first really world test for a #QSO of 30min plus with no real dropouts or distortion etc.

Very happy with my #W0CHP #PiStar #Dash doing the hard work of coverting DMR TG to YSF reflector as there was no real transcoding done as DMR & YSF use the same vocoder.

So nice the #Nextion Enhanced drivers are included with the #W0CHP PiStar Dash, so I have connected the display back to my #MMDVM hat attached to the lid of the lunch box

Well I have had a chance to play around with #W0CHP #PiStar Dash and it rather nice. I have #FreeDMR and #DMR2YSF cross-over running in both directions, it also seems to have fixed couple other annoyances I was having.

So will see how we going over the next month or so with it.

Next on the list is to deal with the Aliexpress SHARI clone I have, just need to do backup on old install to add to the new microSDHC I have #hamvoip installed on.

Finally got off my arse and added #DMR2YSF to my #Pi-Star #hotspot, and it seems to working not to bad.

Seem traffic locally on the hotspot will go from dmr2ysf to dmr on the #Pride #Radio #Network but I can't hear anything going the opposite way ๐Ÿ˜ฟ

Anyways it been fun, it kept me off the streets and out the pub ๐Ÿ˜น

At some stage I really should do up another SDCard and checkout #W0CHP #PiStar #Dash
