I love it! I took my uConsole to our amateur radio club meeting this week and it was a big hit! I had dump1090 running with an RTLSDR and we went outside to see which aircraft it would pick up. They also got a kick out of the mobile SDR frequency analyzer with gqrx. I’m going to play with direwolf next and see if I can get it to work as a mobile APRS igate, could be fun to take to ham events. ---

cool - I have used SDR - and with the OpsShield it’s integrated into the case but for our event I was exploring tracking the event as it unfolded and being able to querry who, what when and where in a timestamped database - only issue is I couldn’t keep up the data entry at the pace of the event… going to move ahead with building a GUI in node red to speed up data entry. ---

@ehm.education The media player in the upper left corner of the uConsole screen looks great. Could you tell me what the package name is? ---

I can tell you the telegram desktop works well on my A06 uConsole. I can’t speak for the other programs though since I don’t have them installed. There is no arm version of Discord either but you can use the web version. ---

You could totally do it by using [Beeper](https://beeper.com) and a Matrix client of your choice, either theirs or something like [gomuks](https://github.com/tulir/gomuks). Coincidentally this comes very close to the [Beepy](https://beepy.sqfmi.com/) they just launched on the side a few months ago, but the uConsole would be a big upgrade to that 😉 ---

I’ve just been using mine to check the central heating in the house by attaching a thermal camera to it. Here it’s looking at the temp of a PI5.

Here’s a couple of thermal images of the uConsole. The uConsole was powered up for about 10 minutes before I took these two shots using a PI4. You can see where it’s warmer but it’s not that hot, the ambient temperature of the room was about 26 °C at the time. ![TC00120231026-081251](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/1/1e2a4e123624fc34b581a2d766629105cba288ad.png) ![TC00120231026-081158](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/1/1219c35ddecdc54118dadc9df5e33f11d538ad74.png) ---

I’m thinking of putting Aros OS and mega65 on it. I saw retro combs putting it on his uConsole.
