Looks good, have not seen one of those fans for a while. My only dislike of forced air is it relies on the fan working, if there is an option that would work to, say 70% with the fan off, I'll go with that, much harder to stress the AI and things ar…

Project needs a "Thermal Cape" I've ordered some bits as my scrap box only has a couple of heat pipes and both need a lot of work, would get round the space issue though. This is just waiting for some themally conductive double sided tape …

Excellent many thanks, will get a bit more verbose on the logs and try to spot where the "previous jobs" were coming from.
-
Another thing that occured to me as a possible feature for those users with multiple antennas. If there was an antenna "profiles" section where someone could define "Maglp 220,630,160,80,80eu" "Vert1 30,20,15,10", …

Thanks Rob, the second line kept giving me "-bash: kill: (24950) - No such process" with a different PID each time. I ended up deleting the recognisable-from-error bits of expected.jobs and hhmm.sched (in the wsprdaemon directory) The way…

The guy did respond when I emailed him about something, no harm in asking. Will look for email if needed.

Asking for a friend... If someone was mucking around with configs, changing a config file before jobs had properly exited and ended up with zombie jobs, where would my friend remove those? I.E. from wsprdeamon -s "Got pid '25922' from file, b…

It used to go down now and then (mainly over the weekend) I think the user has other projects on and it probably has little positive payback. I know I managed to screw things up (for my listing anyway) by having more than one Kiwi up, so stopped vis…

Cool, looks like the "Extra space" route is going to be the least intrusive. Thingiverse or other share should be able to provide those users with 3D printers (but limited time) a quick mounting route. If I had a printer I'd have done one …

I searched stacking headers, when I first booted the AI, seems the most obvious route until they make a stacking cape with fan ;-). I'm still interested in reversing the stack to get the AI on top to open more passive cooling options, dug out some 2…

I did wonder what else to include in any scheme, must borrow a thermal camera. The height of the heatsink almost invites a larger plate that goes outside of the BBAI footprint, that is what I was considering. I assume the gap is about 2.5mm and coun…
-
The fan issue is worth preparing for, even during setup it needs forced cooling. I have a small, decent quality but old, 60x60x20 case fan blowing straight onto it in a 2U rack case (side on currently just due to cable issues). I had it at work with…

I bet there are some fundamental software changes that affect choices made years ago. It has great potential showing even now. I think it will create two types of Kiwi, one for general use, solar powered etc. one for pushing what is possible in the …
-
To be honest I had followed the getting started instructions that were presented so had already done the "update/upgrade the BBAI software". All seemed to work fine, one point it said to reboot hit enter but I still had to reboot it by com…
-
Looks promising, not tried it at 1.5GHz yet as I don't trust my old case fan and want to put some hardware in to give a larger passive cooling affect. (Image)

Posted just as I go out to work... Torture I tell you.

I wouldn't bother Martin, I'm sure you wouldn't enjoy it, all those nasty spots you'd probably get and having to upload them and everything.. No no no, fishing is quite good fun I hear...
-
Perhaps consider adding SDRtouch (on Android) and an RTL dongle to the kit. I've used that for higher HF and above, I suppose you could use with a upconverter to look at HF issues. A dongle + converter although lower quality (8bit) and narrower band…

I'm with Rob on this, fascinating, informative worthy of its own thread. I've come to the induced noise subject from a non academic base with just observations and experiments and have almost enjoyed the forced education. WD has allowed insight I'd …
-
Should you require any remote beta testers.. I'm not saying I bought one, but I bought one. Just to get familiar you understand, not in expectation of being able to run it as a Kiwi any time soon. I'm just looking at how to put it into some spare bo…
-
Awesome. I know it is not the goal but what a trick - all band WSPR in one box. Also a fine way to upgrade the capabilities of the SDR, both computing power and Linux distro, for those who could use more channels and have the budget (power and beer…

Assuming at the new location, other network devices can get online, that the Kiwi (Beaglebone) is set to get a network address from the router (DHCP on the network tab) then it should just be: 1. Fixed, or at least allocated address for the Kiwi 2.…

I find the easiest way (from Windows) is WinSCP then edit the file from there, you'll have to enable SSH then connect in via the network. I know Rob says to stop and start the service while editing but what doe he know he's just the guy who wrote it…

Hi Basil, Not sure about should but I have just the one, in the username/wsprdaemon/ directory. I'm running it on a VM so not 100% sure about the default PI full path. Cheers Stu

So if they sold the AI and Kiwi cape without soldered sockets adventurous types could reverse them so that the AI sat on top, maybe even put a shield between. I know it would mess with lots of mechanical stuff but I'd love to try it. Would not even …

Heatpipe to the metal case?
-
I did think my local noise and RF was dense but Electrosense has me down at about 99.2% channel occupancy (20-1700MHz). Comparing others (even those inside and city sensors) that's pretty high. I've been thinking about sleeping in a Faraday cage for…

Hi Martin, lots of great info. The response curve makes sense from what I was seeing moving that peak about with loop types. I think I gave it 7/10, a bit generous now I've had longer to compare over a wider set of frequencies. I've recently tried…

Well you look to be doing OK already (better than me for sure) http://www.wa2zkd.net:8088/today_int.html Ask WA2ZKD to let you have a progress page then you can plot curves to compare days. (Image)
