Well, we seem to have a complete disaster. I tested this stuff for weeks. Guess it wasn't enough.

For now I'm going to revert everything. This will take a little while..

So there's some kind of strange issue where certain public Kiwis register themselves a few times but then stop doing so and eventually drop off the listing and map. They're still working fine and contactable. Just not on the public list/map.

Investigating..

The next update is a monster though. Have trouble getting to sleep at night? Just read the next release CHANGE_LOG that’s coming.. lol

All the tools to measure this are available to you. Even as a normal user connection.

First, make sure you are the only connection. Turn off any autoruns etc.

On the WF tab turn the waterfall off to lessen the confusion (WF rate slider = off). Select a non-IQ mode. Make sure on the audio tab the comp (compression) button is on. Go to the Stat tab. Look at the last line beginning with "Net". Wait 20 seconds or so for the statistics to stabilize (the measurements are taken every 10 seconds). The aud number should be 6 kB/s (B = bytes).

Change the compression to off. After stabilization aud should be 24 kB/s as the compression algorithm does 4:1 compression.

Change to IQ mode. Aud will be 48 kB/s because there is never any compression in IQ mode and 2 channels of data are being sent instead of only one as with the other modes.

Okay, so I did misunderstand. Sorry.

The admin console tab always gives you a privileged root shell. Not an unprivileged one that you might get from a login to the "debian" account.

Like I have time to setup and manage such a thing, lol

Thanks Nate. I'm apparently not only stupid but blind as well. Bug took just a few minutes to find.

Will be fixed in this next big release I've been working on.

Add a feature request in a new topic post in this category please (in case there is subsequent discussion).

A new category for collecting feature requests.

I used this one: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/CUI-Devices/CFM-A225B-015-287?qs=QNEnbhJQKvb2DvAtDRPA%2FQ%3D%3D

Note the important specs: low speed (1500 RPM), ball bearings, 5 VDC. It has wire power termination. So you'll have to splice in a short section of cable with a USB-A connector on one end if you want to power it that way. There are also USB-A connectors that have solder cups for terminating the wires directly. Also USB-A connectors with screw posts.

I forget what the fan connector is on the AI-64. Not sure it is even powered without a proper PWM signal present, so check that first if you want to go that route. The AI-64 manual (or website) probably has the connector spec.
