  • Anyone else? I run Mac OS Sonoma 14 (old) because I can't risk Apple breaking my development machine. In the past I've had Firefox suddenly stop playing Kiwi audio. Had to restart it to clear the problem. So try restarting Safari. Also, while on the…
  • Yes. See here about RTK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_kinematic_positioning

  • Did you ever try swapping the Kiwi board onto another previously working Beagle? It bothers me the 3.3V from the Beagle is at 3.4V. I've never seen one run high like that. There is a separate regulator on the Beagle used for that 3.3V which goes to …
  • An email I sent to the guy who requested SBAS support (which will be under development for some time). SBAS is Satellite Based Augmentation System. Geostationary satellites providing GPS location improvement data. So v1.824 of the Kiwi software has …

  • Could you please check the P9 header, pins 3 & 4 again? (marked 3.3 on PCB) I had forgotten that the EEPROM has its own I2C interface separate from the SPI used by the FPGA. So the EEPROM should really be working and delivering the serial number…
  • Something here doesn't make sense. I looked at the kiwisdr.com logs for any clues. What I found was strange. The periodic public registration status query was working fine until 11 Nov. Afterwards here is the record of that plus the info sent for th…
  • It would be best if you try making the sd card first and see if you can get through that procedure. We don't sell the BBG-only pre-loaded with software. I'd have to get our logistics guy to make one up. Then there's the shipping from here (DHL US$40…
  • Okay, fixed in v1.824. Apologies for that.

  • Yes, that's the board. There are others that are slightly different. And some of them will not work for various reasons. So get the one in the link. Instead of Github follow the instructions for downloading the software image to an sd card given her…
  • Yeah, I kind of goofed with that. For now instead of shift-right-click just click-hold to get the menu with the "open ext" entry. Shift-right-click also gives you the browser's right-click menu which is awkward. I'll revert behavior of the…

  • I have B25 ready for the next release (for the built-in EiBi database mode). The release isn't quite ready though. Maybe in the next few days..
  • Yeah, dunno. Port 5101 had historical uses, but nothing current.
  • On the admin network tab do you have "Auto add NAT rule on router?" checked? Is the port forwarding rule on your router something you've manually setup on the router?
  • All the voltages are normal except for 5VE, coming from your supply, and 5V, which comes back from the Beagle after going through a simple FET switch from 5VE. 4.78/4.70 is just too low. Since your power supplies seem to have enough current capabili…
  • When the single blue LED flashes quickly at power on it's not over current protection. It's inrush low voltage or slow waveform rise time protection. Try the power cable from one of your working Kiwi and it will probably work. Figure out what's diff…
  • Kiwi-1 or Kiwi-2? If Kiwi-1 email a picture of the board to support@kiwisdr.com. Sometimes I can tell what it says. If Kiwi-2 can you read the serial number on the label on the bottom of the case? If so email it as above and I can tell you the admin…
  • Thanks. Added to blacklist..
  • Just more bot activity. Looks like I should add the IP address to the "denied connection" message. In the past I believe other messages were triggered that contained the IP address. But the bot particulars may have changed.
  • For what it's worth, an AI-search claims there is no iOS setting that influences this '.' versus '+*#' appearance in the keypad.
  • Okay, thank you for the changes. I see as of this morning Eike has made an official B25 release on eibispace.de. So I will get that into the next software release.
  • The help output (in response to --help) discusses defaults where it makes sense. You get the same defaults for all the AGC parameters as you get when making a normal connection via the browser UI (i.e. looking at the AGC tab on the control panel aft…
  • Well, no. First, this file is filled with dozens of illegal UTF-8 sequences. You can see the decoding failures in the browser's javascript console. They are mostly of the form e1 byte1 byte2, where the trailing two bytes are not valid UTF-8 continua…
  • Yes, orientation of the cape on an AI64 is completely ambiguous. I don't think there are even silkscreen markings for P8/P9 on the PCB (unless they fixed that on builds later than what I have). Worse, they added those 4 non-standard power pins to th…
  • Do I understand correctly? The Kiwi board survived being plugged into the AI64 rotated 180°? That's amazing. Perhaps this worked because you also used the opposite end of the P8/P9 connector where power would not have been applied to incorrect pins …
  • On the admin "network" tab change the value of the menu called Power on restart delay (secs). Use a value that is longer than the switch reboot time.
  • Found an iPhone 16 running iOS 18.7.1 But it works! I get the decimal point in the keypad. What do other browsers do? What happens if you go to: settings, apps, safari, clear cache and website data, and just clear it for today ONLY. Does that change…
  • Those AGC settings are correct. Please do direct side-by-side comparisons between QiwiQ and a browser-based Kiwi connection before making any subjective comments about AGC.
  • I'm going to have to find an iPhone 16 to test with. But early indications are that indeed Apple changed things starting with iPhone 16 and now ignores requests to get a decimal keypad. At least the way the Kiwi code currently does it. As a workarou…
  • [Warning: AI slop summary below links. YMMV] https://www.eevblog.com/forum/beginners/is-it-ever-unsafe-to-measure-resistance/ Warns that DMM test voltages (3–10V) can exceed breakdown voltages of low-voltage components, causing hot carrier effects, …
  • Found an iPhone 13. Keypad shows the decimal point in iOS 17.6.1 and 18.7.1 (the phone hadn't been updated in a while). Also checked with the KFS SE site (running v1.819). All seems ok. So I don't know what to think. Anyone else with this issue?
