On the BBG alone, power is supplied through the micro USB connector (front left). You answered my query about metal fixings, appears the correct one is non conductive thanks. The manual can be found by searching for "Seeed-BBG_SRM_V3_20150804…

Try it without the Kiwi Cape, just the beaglebone on it's own. Are you saying all the LED's go completely off (Blue on BBG and two on network socket)? Is it in a metal case? What fixings are used? I think there are reset and power buttons on the B…

This is the route I would take. Take a known good SD card (ideally a new fast one), re-download the file then extract and write the image to that tested SD card. (http://kiwisdr.com/quickstart/#id-dload) See what happens then. Obviously do wait unt…

First question (prompted from the last forum thread) is the SD card in the slot? if so take it out (while the lights are out) If the card is not in the slot give it a good long time to update the software then look again. The first time it powers u…

http://kiwisdr.com/quickstart/#id-leds Bear in mind the thing will need to reboot to update to the current software, give it time. If you can get into the router you may have another way to spot it. 1. look for "connected clients" or DHC…

When I first posted this I could not see Martin's reply. WinSCP is my personal favourite but Filezilla client is available on more platforms AFAIK. One advantage of WinSCP is that it can be automated so if you want to chedule a task backup, and you…

On reflection that battery might be a two cell, 8.4-7.2 volts internally, will be interesting to hear how noisy if anything it is. The rated capacity is higher than the one I have in the same format so probably two, not three but larger cells. The T…

The funny thing is I have that battery in 12V form, I was going to use a DC-DC after it to cope with the voltage range 12.6-10.8V, I think the 5V one must be the two combined into one device as Li-on does not do a native 5V. I would stick to the 12V…

The UPS route, to me, seems inefficient, it has to use the DC battery to power the inverter and PSU's to convert back to DC. Perhaps define the ideal requirement for supply failure cover time then work back from that for how much battery is require…

I see Wellbrook has started selling "replacement" amplifiers, but like you I prefer something I can get into.

I thought the 5V 7805's needed 7V input.

I tried a USB battery pack for powering SDR's (Turnigy dual USB) and it was horribly noisy, like one of the worst options tried. If you have experience of that Adafruit device great, but useable on paper is may actually be rubbish in use. The batter…

The things that may help may be minimising the length of any DC leads and improving or removing mating connectors. The Kiwi takes very little power but light wiring or poor connectors could exacerbate any momentary current issues. Imagine this the …

Just playing with an Adalm Pluto with third party firmware. No band filtering of course and it's sold as a learning tool rather than an SDR but still fun to start (a narrow) OpenWebRX between 70MHz and 6GHz. The CPU is good for only about 900khz whe…
-
Alan I assume you did clear the cache as Ron suggested and that you are not running a proxy server between you and Kiwi? I'm thinking a cached data may be bad and not being asked for directly from the Kiwi. Second question do web Kiwi's work OK?
-
Easiest route is probably something like the TP-Link nano routers (E.G. Tl-wr802n), powered from 5V. It connects to the Kiwi/BB via ethernet cable. That set up is good because it offers more placement options for best WiFi link. I have used that o…

It might still be OK just on a different IP address. There is a discovery tool but if you have Java installed I tend to use "angry ip scanner" (angryip.org) as it is quick and you can set it to probe port 8073 or others (tools-preferences-…

Here's a strange one for you Martin, from the FAQ on http://wiki.seeedstudio.com/BeagleBone_Green/#cape-for-bbg (Image) Don't have time to look (at work) but needed to bookmark for further consideration... Later that day-- 33pf on the RX clock mar…

The extension is simple but there are benefits to using the external decodes, the detection rate is higher by default.
-
I'd try a crossover cable to a PC running wireshark, boot the Beaglebone see what traffic comes from it (assuming the small network chip is not roasting as jks indicates to check first). That chip is shown on the Hardware Overview as "Ethernet …
-
Are you running external WSPR decode (with a recorder.py etc.) or the WSPR extension? running external decoding would be a better move in this setup I believe.
-
I don't specifically and actually tried to ensure things like CB worked well enough to be useful but I do think it is a legitimate conversation to have. I had an Irish pirate (assumed) use one frequency much of the day, didn't bother me as I didn't …

Global timeout except Ham (or other selectable) bands, that would allow all users full access but push the focus onto the owner's prefered use. Or If the radio server has more than one Kiwi have the second in eight channel, audio only, mode and red…

I assume you are running DHCP for the address? can you look at the DHCP server or router to see what addresses have been given out recently? Does windows/linux command "arp -a" have a mac address with the IP address you are expecting? Obvi…

joking... Create tiny website with a code your valid users can translate into this week's access password by some simple formula. code like "0241950430" password = TheRye or "9780099549482" = ToMockingbird

I did look for R136 from recalling your previous thread, while checking things (in a bit of hurry, not consulting docs or forum) all looked OK - nothing burned. Now I'm more confused as this DDG/Kiwi was powering up but the LAN connection, link ligh…
-
Martin, Second thanks for this as I just made my first Beaglebone Green, the one that has been horribly abused, finally fail while playing with chokes from another thread comments. The fact you posted the LAN8710A details with package allowed me to …

Until more knowledgeable folk arrive... it depends on how low you want them to work and how much RF is about. With ferrite cores the affect is square of the turns through the ferrite so if you can get 6 turns then that is a pretty good level of impe…
-
Alain, It might be that the "proxy" handles just standard ports/traffic and :8073 goes round it. For a solid solution the route between the Kiwi and the gateway should be private and the gateway (proxy) should handle all routing protocols …

Brilliant, that resistor is probably what I remembered but could not remember the context and searching gave just too many general hits. Thanks
