hi howard i have disconnected all cables run the rigpi with monitor and without monitor with and without radio if the rigpi undervoltage i get a malfunction when i start the rigpi the malfunction gets worse if I connect the rigpi at a distance of about 10 meters from the flex radio, the interference is less but not gone

Re: Feature suggestion
Steve_KE4LC
I humbly second the camera suggestion. It’s very comforting to see the actual real-time rig image for remote operators. This is especially true for hams transitioning from a lifetime of hands-on rig use to remote access (senior/retirement homes where antennas are impossible). If impractical to integrate the camera video within RSS, a tutorial for cam integration using another Raspberry Pi app would be great.
Thanks/73’s, Steve KE4LC

Feature suggestion
Michael Bridak
I've got a feature suggestion, I use a raspberry pi to control my 3d printer remotely, and it has a pi camera connected with a long ribbon cable to watch the printer.
It would be a very nice feature to have an optional live camera view of the rigs waterfall.

Receive audio dropouts if running Mumble and RSS web page at same time
ND9Bmgb@...
I've been plagued with receive audio dropouts which last from .5 to 3 seconds every 2 to 3 minutes. Today I accidentally discovered that my audio dropouts stop, if I close the RSS web page on my PC, and run Mumble by itself. I'm running Google Chromium and Mumble client on a Raspberry Pi 3B+. (Yes, I'm using a Raspberry Pi as a PC. But, dropouts still occur on a Windows machine.) I've tried direct ethernet cable to the route and various mumble setting to no avail. Any ideas?

WSJTX Log Entry Process?
Ron Wright - KA5LUG
I'm looking for the RIGPI process that listens for and post the WSJTX log entries to the RIGPI log database. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks, --Ron, KA5LUG

Hello Howard et al,
Sent the previous email before I was finished.
Anyways, I want to thank Glenn VE9GJ, Mike WB6DJI , and Harold W5ZZT for their help.
My RigPi now works as advertised. Woo-Hoo!
Take care and 73s,

I recently purchased a RigPi for my ICom-7600. So, I’m now able to connect to my radio with a laptop via the internet. Unfortunately, I’m unable to get Mumble working. When I boot-up RigPi, I see on RigPi’s monitor that Mumble starts and connects successfully. When I try to connect with Mumble from my laptop, though, I get the return: “Connecting To Server rigpi.local, Connected, Server Connection Rejected, Wrong Password.”
Actually, Mumble never asks for my password; it only asks for my username. I’ve probably made a setup mistake somewhere but need help now. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and 73s,

Hi Howard,
Could you post the release notes for 1.05? Thanks, George

Re: interfering 80 meterband
Hi Harry,
Several users have reported noise problems from an HDMI cable connected to the Raspberry Pi. If you have a monitor connected, try disconnecting the cable. You can disconnect other cables to test, including the Ethernet cable. —Howard

Ferrites are our friends... wrap your I/O and power cables through Type 43 or 77 ferrite cores. The "computer" type ferrites are usually only good for VHF and up suppression.

interfering 80 meterband
h.meertens9@...
Hello
I have a problem, my rigpi is interfering with the 80 meter band of my flex radio 6400 if I put the rigpi further in the house, the interference will decrease, but there is no listening to the 80 meter band there is someone who also has experience with this grt harry

Re: RigPi Image available for download from MFJ
Karl Heinz Kremer
Usually when you buy software after the new release was announced, you get the upgrade for free. Does this apply here as well? Meaning, when I pay for the download of version 1.05 today, will there be a free upgrade to v2?
Thanks, Karl Heinz - K5KHK

RigPi Image available for download from MFJ
RigPi, version 1.05 (the current production version), is now available for download from the MFJ web site. The price for the download is $29.95. This is the same software contained on the RigPi microSD card. If you already have a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and don't need the Keyer or Audio boards, the download is a perfect way to get started with RigPi.
Instructions for installing the RigPi image are contained in the download. Download the zipped file and unzip on a PC. You will see pdf and html versions of installation help. The Download Help file is also available in the File section: This image will NOT run on a Raspberry Pi 4 or later computer. It uses the Raspbian Stretch operating system which is not compatible with the Raspberry Pi 4. RigPI 2 will be released soon that uses the Buster operating system which will run on a Raspberry Pi 4. RigPi 2 will also be available for download from MFJ. Once RigPi 2 is launched my plan is to provide the RigPi software on Github. A full image will not be available, only the RigPi server will be on Github. 73, Howard W6HN
