Monitoring and Decoding 24/7 with Digipi/FLDigi

[Harley Soltes]

Greetings and thank you so much for creating this tool. I am waiting on my Pi Zero delivery. I will be using the DigiPi setup with my HF/SSB radio connected via Digirig Mobile to decode NAVTEX broadcasts. These broadcasts occur every 4 hours or when an emergency broadcast is necessary. With my current setup I seem to often forget to go turn things on every 4 hours and miss the broadcast. I would like to leave my Digipi connected and running FLDigi in NAVTEX mode full time monitoring and decoding.

Is this possible with the PiZero and Digigpi running FLDigi? Will Digipi save the broadcast text files? Any tips on how to set this up? 

This will be my first Raspberry Pi and I am hoping there are sleep settings etc that can be controlled.

All the best,

Harley Soltes

Hi Harley,

Be sure to press [save configuration] on the digipi home page now and
then to
preserve the broadcasts.  DigiPi is "read-only" by default, so you need
to commit
data to the SD card this way now and then.  I'm concerned you might run out
of memory with the Zero2W if you're saving large images, which sit in RAM.
Can you copy them off from time to time?  FLDigi barely fits in our
512MB budget.

Make sure you're getting a Zero2W (original Zero doesn't work).

DigiPi will run 24/7 for years - I have a number of Digipeaters and
nodes out
there that require no maintenance.   you can cron a reboot (and run
saveconfigs.sh)
now and then.

cool,

I'm connecting to my DigiPi via a Linux Mint machine. Oddly, the "Save Configuration" doesn't seem to actually save things. If I reboot, the WebChat selection is gone, and (sometimes) the Digipeat as well. When I click the save it doesn't appear to do much, is it supposed to change color or indicate that it was saved?

Tnx for a wonderful device, de K1YPP
