@colin99 I was able to get it working with the MT7601 chipset. Like I mentioned above, I tried a lot of things before it worked, so I'm unsure which step(s) were actually required. I believe it had a lot to do with installing firmware-ralink and i…

I agree it's likely a power issue, at least until you rule that out. Heavier gauge/shorter wires, use Vsense lines, higher supply voltage (I'd keep it <5.5V), higher amperage (or dedicated) supply, staggered startup sequence. Any or all of those…

Interesting. If the NIC is set to static it should never get a 169.254 address. That should only happen when DHCP fails to obtain an address. When configured for a static IP the NIC should always have that IP whenever there is a link present. Th…

The critter icon is the most critical part of any new receiver mode implementation! @Powernumpty, did you intend for their beaks to form an "X", the Roman numeral for 10? Nice!

I agree, Martin. I usually put a series R with everything. The datasheets for the Dowkey switches are lacking in detail. There's no indication as to the impedance, current draw, or recommended drive circuit for the logic inputs. I had planned on us…

I was able to use DowKey RF switches/relays without a driver circuit. The logic input pins just needed a pulldown to GND (I used 10k). Nick W1NJC

@n6gn FIrst off, when you get this working again, definitely configure a static IP. If you can restart the remote end of your link, do it. It might take the NIC down, and when it comes back up the kiwi should do a DHCP discover and hopefully get a…

So I got this working, but I'm not exactly sure what I did that got it working. I updated the dist to 4.4.155-ti-r151. That alone wasn't enough. I think it was this, despite it failing: sudo apt-get install firmware-ralink This gave a dependenc…

Thanks, guys. I think I have it all working the way I want to now.
-
Thanks for the feedback, @ChrisSmolinski . I suspect that the significant distance you have between the Ethernet/kiwi and your antennas has much to do with your lack of interference. Buried cables helps too. I think you would know if it was there…

Ha! Well maybe we've turned a bug into a feature!
-
Then it's working as intended. Thanks.

Thanks, John and understood. For reference, I did find some other discussions on the matter in case anyone else wants to read more: valentfx.com/vanilla/discussion/comment/2536 valentfx.com/vanilla/discussion/comment/4480 Note the SHIFT+left-cli…

The grep is working. That stuff with the syslogd is from the tail of /var/log/messages, which I included to show what's there and some of what I think the script should be returning. The last block is my output from the script.
-
I've seen this happen, but I'm new to the kiwi and figured it was me rebooting it often and changing settings and such. Thanks for rx.linkfanel.net too, I was not aware of that site!

I just tried running it from another machine (raspi) and I get mostly the wrong output, less the GNU Debian BeagleBone stuff at the top. There's some newer entries but still an old one, all LEAVING, and only 4 total. I also tried the latest version…

@KA7U Ron, This script is not working for me. When I run it I get only four older log entries, all LEAVING. If I look at a tail of /var/log/messages I can see that there are more recent entries in there. My script file: #! /bin/bash # # for kw …
-
@KA7U Ron, I'm happy to hear that you are getting good results from this. I hope that others who have this problem (everyone?) can try it and see an improvement. I know @jks thought he might be able to add a setting to the admin UI -- that would…
-
I'm glad you guys are seeing an improvement too. Thanks jks for the bandwidth calculation and also mentioning how to install ethtool as I neglected to include that. I added that command to my /etc/rc.local so that it's persistent across reboots. Per…
-
ethtool -s eth0 speed 10 duplex full I found that forcing the NIC to 10-Base-T makes a very significant improvement. Is there any downside to this i.e., will there be a bandwidth utilization concern? It looks like only 50kB/s or so is needed per …
-
@jks Thank you. ./k works.
-
Thank you. Haha yes I know vi, learned it a long time ago but I prefer nano for most things. I appreciate the help.
-
@KA7U could you please post your bash script? Also how would I run this on the kiwi .bashrc.local? I'm not all that familiar with bash. Thanks, Nick W1NJC
-
Thanks for your reply. I'm not doing anything to match up the LEAVING with an ARRIVED. The SQL MERGE only makes sure there's no dupes inserted to the DB. Otherwise it's merely parse of the log. Another thing I didn't find in the logs (at least t…

While my solution is not exactly an answer, I too wanted web access to a log of users. What I did was wrote a script to run 'make users' and pipe the output to a file. Then that file is sent (FTP) to my server. On the server side I wrote an appli…
