Phew; I now have #Gridtracker, #flrig, #WSJTX and #JS8CALL running on a Raspberry Pi 3.

#LePotato, aka my "HamPotato", is now pulling double duty as a #digipeater and PC interface to my #icom IC7100, plus it's serving my public #gopher page.

The screen res issue was "fixed" with an HDMI dummy plug, and #wsjtx installed easily enough. On my main PC, #GridTracker receives data from WSJTX over the WIFI.

As it's currently configured, though, I need to log into the potato via vnc to switch between #DireWolf and WSJTX. The next step in the project will be automating this changeover.

Spent a few minutes with #chatgpt on how to find out if/how I can initiate a call in #Gridtracker (same as double-clicking in the #WSJT-X Band Acitvity window). It gave me six wrong answers, before admitting there's only one way which is choosing Lookup, and ctrl-c/v the callsign into WSJT-X.

The #Gridtracker map isn't updating anymore. Instead of showing a small rectangle at my and everyone else's location, their paths, I just see a flag at my location with "GT" on it. Same after restarting. Worked fine a couple hours ago.

I’ve been doing the web development thing since the early 90s. I’m a generalist (or as they call it now, a “versatilist”) which means I’m mediocre at a lot of things, but hopefully good enough at combining them.

Recently I’ve gone down the rabbit hole of #AmateurRadio, both with my local #ARES group and as an avid #contester and #DXer. I’ve joined the #DXMarathon organizers and I’m part of the team behind #GridTracker.

Learned about #GridTracker on here and wow, it is awesome! Now I have it logging to my #CloudLog instance and it makes that so much easier. Really useful stuff!
