If I have the CM5, is Rex’s upcoming DragonOS the best for this? Or is Rex’s Debian release more compatible? I’m mainly hoping to use SDRAngel
I just got the email that delivery is on its way
Same was in first batch great stuff i should have a video up soon.
Got my email this morning also.
DragonOS currently doesn’t work with the CM5 hopefully I can get it working soon. The Debian image will be the most compatible with the CM5 though.

I just got the RTL-SDR board and installed it along with Rex’s Debian Bookworm image. I was following @vileer ‘s instructions (HackerGadgets uConsole RTL-SDR/LoRa/GPS/RTC/USB Hub All-In-One Extensi – Hacker Gadgets) on setting up the system and ran into a problem. When I added “dtparam=spi=on” into the config.txt, it boots to a black screen. When I remove it, it goes back to normal.
Does anyone have suggestions, on how to fix this and get LoRA running? Thanks!
If you wait i think Rex will release his automated install soon.
Which CM module you were using? CM4 or CM5?
Got a shipping notification. Thank you for combining the antenna adapter order with it.
It’s the CM5. I followed the instructions for the CM5. One thing I noticed is that apt upgrade had updated meshtesticd to a newer version than the guide
If you’re on a CM5 install this package I’m working on it’s still not finished but it’ll get you going and any future updates I make will be installed when you run an update.
sudo apt update && sudo apt install hackergadgets-uconsole-aio-board
That package will make the correct entries in the config.txt install meshtastic, sdr++, tar1099 and pygpsclient. Then set them up for you. You’ll have to configure meshtastic yourself though for your user and country.

I just purchased one and I’m really excited. This is the expansion board I’ve been wishing for a long time! The only concern I have so far is with the antenna board; it seems a bit fragile and could potentially break off easily.
Has anyone already thought about designing a 3D-printable protective cover for it?
I think its this one, still WIP but hopefully we can get it. Reddit - The heart of the internet
update: someone got the design for it. Still haven’t gotten my kit so I can’t really tell about the fit though
I use the same one. Works great!
