Re: MP1584 Buck converter 3A
I have accidentally applied 12V to the Kiwi without experiencing any damage. I know there is circuitry in the BB to protect ti from over voltage, and it appears the Kiwi board itself has protection

Kiwi As Your Time Server
On Client:
sudo apt-get install ntpdate
sudo ntpdate -u yourkiwiaddress
Kiwi needs no mods. Port should be open on lan.

Re: Kiwi As Your Time Server

It seems that WD should leave its time and ntp service alone if 'ntpq -p' reports that ntp is synced via an

Re: WD v 2.10d is published
Hi everyone.
I found I had to change my apt sources from Buster to Bullseye for what was Raspbian (now called "Raspberry Pi OS") to get certain packages needed for the latest WSJT-X. Not the worst

Princeton filtering some IPs - can't directly download WSJT-X
Just as an FYI for some people, that the www.physics.princeton.edu webserver does not serve traffic to certain IPs or certain IP ranges.
How did I find this out? Guaranteed time outs from my home

WD service stops ?!
As I am in the process to start up the receiver after relocation, I updated/upgraded the long not used Raspberry... I was astonished about the HUUUUUGGGE update...
I thought it is time to "git pull"

Re: WD service stops ?!
Your linux server is probably missing a library needed by the new wsjt-x decoder.
I am dealing with a neighborhood power outage, so I can't look at your system right now.
What cpu/OS are you using?

Re: WD service stops ?!
Standard Raspberry pi 4
It downloaded a huge system update after:
"sudo apt upgrade"
after reboot and WD restart - no uploads anymore...
Ubuntu 20.04 on my laptop don't work either... Numpy doesn't

I switched off the kiwi and reboot it.
The fault message with the kiwirecorder (see above) disappeared.... however no decodes, no spots
The terminal "top -c" shows the wsprd executing and calculating
