Hello, when I try to download and install the latest version of HABBase from Dave’s website, installation completes but I then get errors when I try to run it (or even quit it)

See attached screenshots

Any thoughts?

Many thanks in advance

I've been helping Dave with beta-testing that new Version today and have seen exactly the same issues.

Dave is still working on the problem, but meanwhile I've discovered that installing V1.5.1 does successfully install the WebView2 DLL and then if I go back and re-run the V1.5.0 Installer (from 2-Feb-2022) then the program runs fine and displays the maps.

Hi Oliver. I'm aware of this and I'll get it fixed tomorrow. Meanwhile, get the application .exe from V1.5.0

Dear Ross

I tried the same thing (i.e installing 1.5 instead) but then I get the error "Could not initialize Edge Chromium! Please check if WebView2Loader_x86.dll is correctly distributed and accessible”
(Which is what I believe 1.5.1 is meant to fix versus 1.5)

WebView2 is indeed installed from my earlier attempts to install 1.5.1.

I couldn’t work out how to install WebView2Loader_x86.dll on its own.

I am back on 1.4 now which I hope will at least allow me to upload packets from tomorrow’s flight, even if I can’t see the map.

Any advice on getting past the WebView2Loader_x86.dll error?

Many thanks all

This is the error I get when I try to install 1.5.0

That DLL is installed into the application folder by 1.5.1

Dave has released a new Version (1.6) today:

https://github.com/daveake/HABBase/releases/tag/V%60_6_0

which I've installed and run without any problems. It even imported all my settings from the previous versions.

And I've just been in touch with Jack G8HIK - he confirms that it does for him too.

Ross,

I've just installed it for the first time and can confirm the installation seems to have gone smoothly.

What I can't yet do is set it up to work! I have a LoRa Pi Gateway linked into my home wifi and I can access it using PuTTY, which is how I've always done it and control the device in a window on a PC.

I've tried to set it up as a source on HabBase but it connects only for a fraction of a second before saying "no connection". The IP Address of the gateway on my network is 192.168.1.166 and the Port is 22 which I have entered into the source configuration page.

What I find curious is it doesn't seem to want a username and password for the Pi.

I've looked at Dave's page on his website but I need a dummy's guide! Are you able to help? Just a screenshot of your settings might be all I need.

Best wishes,

John

The port number is one that the gateway listens to, and is nothing to do with SSH. It's port 6004 by default but you can set it in gateway.txt. So check that setting, start the gateway program, then set up the gateway source in HAB Base.

Hi John, I see that Dave has already given you the answer - the Pi LoRa Gateway is set on Port 6004.

BTW, I use a VNC link into my Pi to start the program, rather than PuTTY.

And for flights with RTTY, I plug the audio output from the back of my Yaesu FT897 into the soundcard of a little Acer Revo PC running DL-FLDIGI which sits on top of the radio and is operated via VNC. This outputs onto Port 7322, but I found that I needed to add the Host IP address to the command line when starting FLDIGI, so that I could connect from the HAB Base program running on my desktop PC.

What was the command-line magic to make port 7322 available from another PC?

Dave, Ross,

Thank you. I've now got it working having put in the correct port number. It also didn't help I had the IP address set to 192.166 instead of 192.168 but once that was corrected it is working. Dohhh

To enable the output from FLDIGI to a remote PC, I (eventually) found that I just needed to edit the Properties of the Desktop Shortcut to set the server PC's IP address, with " --arq-server-address 192.168.0.15" (in my case):

Then in HAB Base put the Host's IP Address and Port 7322:

"Simples!"
