  • Feature request - receiver info on status page [trial in v1.334]

    Okay, there is a trial of this in today's v1.334, e.g. "kiwi:8073/users" Only responds to connections from the local network.
    Response is JSON with a couple of the fields URI encoded. This mostly because it already existed as a protocol with the Kiwi Javascript and I've been trying to move everything to JSON anyway.

    Example:
    [{"i":0,"n":"ZL%2fKF6VO","g":"Tauranga,%20New%20Zealand","f":518000,"m":"cw","z":11,"t":"0:00:15","rt":0,"rs":"0:00:00","e":"","a":"192.168.1.2"},{"i":1},{"i":2},{"i":3}]
    
    So a JSON array with as many objects as there are rx channels. Many of the fields can be an empty string value if there is no info.
    • i: channel index
    • n: name/callsign field, URI encoded
    • g: geolocation, URI encoded
    • f: freq Hz
    • m: mode
    • z: zoom level 0-14
    • t: connect time h:mm:ss
    • rt: time remaining type: 0 = no limit, 1 = inactivity limit will expire first, 2 = /24 hr limit will expire first
    • rs: time remaining h:mm:ss (inactivity or /24 hr)
    • e: extension in use
    • a: user's ip address (as you would see on admin status tab)

  • "Cannot use extensions while another channel is in DRM mode." - but no other DRM mode in use..

    Okay, I got what I needed, thanks.
    Until there is a fix (won't be anytime soon) just disable DRM to keep this from happening.

  • Kiwid can't start on BB-AI after update [spidev issue, problem disappeared with reinstall]

    Neat. I did not know that would work. After a kernel upgrade you can also do:
    root@ai:~# cdp
    root@ai:~/Beagle_SDR_GPS# make install_kiwi_device_tree
    install Kiwi device tree to configure GPIO pins
    4.14 4.14.108-ti-r123
    cp platform/beaglebone_AI/am5729-beagleboneai-kiwisdr-cape.dts /opt/source/dtb-4.14-ti/src/arm
    (cd /opt/source/dtb-4.14-ti; make)
    make[1]: Entering directory '/opt/source/dtb-4.14-ti'
      DTC     src/arm/am5729-beagleboneai-kiwisdr-cape.dtb
    make[1]: Leaving directory '/opt/source/dtb-4.14-ti'
    cp /opt/source/dtb-4.14-ti/src/arm/am5729-beagleboneai-kiwisdr-cape.dtb /boot/dtbs/4.14.108-ti-r123
    cp /opt/source/dtb-4.14-ti/src/arm/am5729-beagleboneai-kiwisdr-cape.dtb /boot/dtbs/4.14.108-ti-r123/am5729-beagleboneai.dtb
    
    Where all references to 4.14.108-ti-r123 above will be 4.14.108-ti-r124 in your case (it gets it from doing a "uname --r"). Restart after doing this.
