v1.822
From the CHANGE_LOG file:
v1.822 September 28, 2025
Antenna switch:
Use the "\+" escape sequence where you need a plus sign ('+') to appear in the curl fields.
Example "192.168.1.222?cmd=ant+1\+2+on" gives "192.168.1.222?cmd=ant 1+2 on"
Note that '+' alone gives a single space as before. (thanks IW2NKE)
Debugging mode added to ant-switch-frontend script. Preface any command with 'd' to enable.
E.g. "d s" to query switch status with curl debugging ("--verbose") enabled. Also sets
script "DEBUG" variable which individual scripts can use to trigger debugging actions.
The "ad" alias helps with this e.g. "ad s" instead of "./ant-switch-frontend d s"
SSTV extension: Works on 3-channel mode Kiwi again. (thanks nitroengine)
The server will now run and allow you to connect as admin even if the Kiwi board is broken
(e.g. FPGA not responding) or not installed. The FPGA communication failure LED pattern is
then appended to the IP address LED pattern in this case (see: kiwisdr.com/info/#id-fpga)
Comments
Just updated to 1.822 and I have just noticed that when I click the "+" to zoom in on the waterfall and spectrum, on the 10th click of the "+" the waterfall and spectrum slow down significantly.
On the 11th click, it goes back to normal speed. I am not sure if this is normal or not. This is on a KIWI 1 BBAI integration.
Not new with v1.822. Zoom level 10 has always been this way. It's a little slower than z9 before it and z11 after. This is because it's right on the transition to overlapped sampling with z11. And the realtime constraints get in the way with z10 such that it runs slower (the waterfall is always the lowest priority task in the system).
This may improve with some architectural changes that are under development.
Not quite correct I see after reviewing my notes and checking: z11+ (overlapped sampling) is always slower than z10. It's just that z10 is worse than z9 because of the boundary problem.
Example: On BBG & BBAI-64, single channel active, z9 is 23 fps, z10 14 fps, z11 7 fps.
