HackerGadgets AIO Board Package

Did you try to reinstall the package?

You mean Sudo apt install hackergadgets-uconsole-aio-board again? I did that

sudo apt reinstall hackergadgets-uconsole-aio-board

When I do that there are just errors, is it possible because I didn’t have the extension board yet? I use sdr/rtl and Lora sticks via usb as a dummy until the board arrive

Yes that would be exactly it and would have been a good lead. This package configures meshtasticd over spi the usb ones will not work with it. It’s suppose to be used with that card.

Ah Check, thanks then I gonna wait until the board arrive. I just wonder cause the sdr stick works perfect

the LoRa just isn’t on the USB like the SDR. the LoRa basically becomes part of the device and is not plug and play like USB.

I just compiled SDR++ Brown and I’m adding it to my APT repo. It cannot be installed alongside SDR++.
So I want some opinions what would you rather have included in this package?

Vote below!

Meshtastic GUI…


Will be in the next package release. I will also still leave the web shortcut for anyone who wants to use it.

Updated package now out with the Meshtastic ui and SDR++ has been set as a recommended package so you can install SDR++ Brown without having to remove this package. SDR++ Brown will most likely replace SDR++ as the recommended SDR program.

Thanks Rex! So if I update this package, it’ll remove the old apps and install Meshtastic UI and SDR++ Brown?

Meshtastic web is still there as it’s part of meshtasticd but I compiled the GUI app too. SDR++ is now just recommended so you can install the recommended package or install SDR++ Brown sdrpp-brown
Updating will just add meshtastic gui and then you can install sdrpp-brown which will remove sdrpp.

Thx Rex. Just updated it. However, I’m getting an error showing sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1). I tried apt purge and apt install again after rebooting, and still get this error.

When I launch Meshtastic GUI, it shows node 409c online, but no signal, with Util, Air at 0%. Is there something I can do to fix this? Thanks

Can you post the whole error? That’s error is super generic.

You need to setup meshtastic in the web UI as the OP says. There’s a link to the hackergadgets instructions.

Rex what is the difference on sdr++ brown

I tried to update also got the below.

SDR++ Brown is SDR++ with some addons.

Can you try running the install or update from the command line and post the errors.

For some reason, Rex’s package did not me adding cargo to my path in .profile. I commented it out, built it, and added it back and it was all fine. If you have any changes to .bashrc or .profile might try commenting them out.

Got it to work i setup laura via the gadgets page but dont get signal.
