Dead in Water, not Sinking
@donde wrote:
Still no CHIP from The Next Thing. Have been waiting months for order to ship. Should have ordered from Syed. But, lots having big delays too. Don't want my interest in Outernet to wane. Looks like Dreamcatcher and Skylark is a final destination for Outernet. Will support and discussion for the CHIP method be coming to an end someday? In some ways technology is an evil doer, changing so fast, one can't possibly keep up. Please excuse my rambling. So, now I'll order the $99 kit. Or is there a "Super" kit coming down the pike in a couple of months! That's too long to wait! I'll order soon, I think.

Modifying Outernet antenna for dual polarization?

If I wanted to add a LHCP connection on my Outernet antenna as well, would I just attach another feedline on one of the sides adjacent to the existing feedline?

No tuner device found
@blanu wrote:
I just received my DIY kit in the mail, which includes the CHIP and SDRx.
In the Tuner app, the Status tab never displays anything.
I have tried different power supplies and cables for powering the CHIP. I have also tried different ports for connecting the SDRx to the CHIP. Currently I am using a 2.1A power supply and the SDRx has the male USB-A plugged into the female USB-A on the CHIP, as recommended in the instruction manual.
I was able to SSH into the CHIP and with some futzing around I was able to run "demod". It reports the following:
SDR satellite demodulator, V1.0.5 Outernet Inc.
No sdr devices found.
No tuner device found.I noticed that there is a light on the SDRx which turns on when I plug it into my computer, but does not turn on when I plug it into the CHIP. I have determined that the most likely problem is that the CHIP is damaged and is not powering up the SDRx. Indeed, upon inspection of the CHIP there is a loose component on the bottom of the board near the USB port. This is fresh out of the box. All I did with the kit was plug the CHIP into the power supply.
I have a spare CHIP that I could swap out for the damaged one. When I plug in the SDRx to the other CHIP, the light turns on, which is promising. However, all of the links to the CHIP flasher tool have disappeared from the website. In anyone can tell me where to get the CHIP flasher tool, I would like to try another CHIP and see if it fixes the problem.
I've just ordered a Dreamcatcher as well. However, as the Outernet software is not yet available for that platform, RPi support has been deprecated, and the CHIP flasher tool is no longer available, there doesn't seem to be any officially supported way for me to connect to Outernet at the moment.

I have read the differences: wider bandwidth, slightly lower gain, a bit smaller in size. I don't understand, why the change?

SDRx Windows usb drivers (help needed)
@Spooky43 wrote:
Evening all.
A couple of weeks back I asked if anyone had tried an active usb with sdrx, long story short I ordered one and it arrived yesterday. I tried it out last night and it worked for a minute or so before either sdrx or the drivers stopped playing nicely.
Now every time I plug the sdrx in with and without the active cable I get "usb device not recognised, device descriptor request failed."(Code 43)
Pretty sure this is a driver issue as windows is listing sdrx under usb controllers so I know it's not completely dead. I've tried running the solutions I found via google but unsurprisingly haven't got anywhere.At a guess, I need to assign the bulk-in profile/drivers to it through device manager although i'm not sure to be honest and thats pure guess work so I could be barking up the wrong tree. As you can probably tell drivers aren't my strong point so any pointers would be really appreciated

Dreamcatcher setup for beginners
@Charles wrote:
Ok, so want to bring the outernet device to under developed countries an leave it for them to use.
I have burned sd cards before but when i read then instructions there are some unknowns like. There was mention on installing the operating system card. There was mention about adding more memory to the board. Power supply by usb. I happen to use a raspberry pi an they talk about using a more powerful usb but no one talks about that here.
My main question is has anyone written a detailed how to set this up or better yet a youtube would be da best. I want a setup for dummies book or youtube tnx

Dreamcatcher usb driver for windows?
@Ken_Jamrogowicz wrote:
Instructions say I can access via USB using PuTTY. On Linux there should be a "ttyACM0" device.
On Windows (10 in my case) all you see is "unknown device" with a USB hub and port.
It seems to me a driver is required - is there one? or a workaround?
Thanks
Ken

Dreamcatcher EDUP WiFi USB dongle off | No Wifi
@Dan_Anderson wrote:
I received my Dreamcatcher kit yesterday and was able to flash the 8 GB micro sd card with Armbian_5.27_Dreamcatcher_Debian_jessie_next_4.10.14_20170602.img and boot up.
Connections | USB_PWR | The power supply is 5 VDC 2.1 A

LED9 PWR | White
LED10 STATUS | Green
LED11 AGP3 | Red
USB WIFI | WIFI EDUP dongleI can talk to it over USB using Putty in Windows 10 (Lenovo Win7 PC) with serial settings 115200 N 8 1. When I first received the board the WiFi dongle (small USB plug, EDUP 802.11N Model EP-N8508GS) there was a yellow or green light when power was applied to the Dreamcatcher board. I also tried a second time to relfash the microsd card after I issed the SUDO poweroff (actually my entire computer shut off immediately! - I wonder if it was trying to pull a lot of power during the power down sequence from my computer that caused it to shut down or something shorted during the same sequence?). If I plug the WiFi USB dongle it into my windows computer it does light up. I however never saw the outernet SSID on my WiFo network. I have used NMTUI to setup the connection to my wireless network but I don't see how to activate it. It doesn't come up in the NMTUI menu (Activate a connection). I thought the light did come on when I first had everything setup.
I am wondering if there are other files or drivers I need or a command line command I need to issue to turn it on?
iwconfig -a

When will the Outernet broadcasts of Armature Radio, Weather, Wikopedia, and News (that we have ALL been seeing on Skylark for months) be available thru a program we can load on the new well designed and crafted Dreamcatcher board?

Problem with SD card corruption on Dreamcatcher
@unixpunk wrote:
Got my new Dreamcatcher up and running and works fine until I do an 'apt-get upgrade' - I consistently get scsi errors and the card gets corrupted during the installation portion of the upgrade, when its pretty disk-heavy. Its a new Sandisk EVO 32gb, power is from 2 USB3 ports of my laptop (one into each of the micro-USB connectors) which should max at 1.5-1.6a total, onlu WiFi adapter plugged in, so I don't think power is the issue. Are there any general suggestions for which make/model/speed/capacity SD card to use for the Armbian OS to avoid this? Also welcome any 'X card works for me during apt-get upgrade' or any other suggestions. I'll be testing another known good card this evening as well as a 2a adapter.
