A presentation (in the main hall on the screen) will be given on the DigiPi Project. This is a separate project from the Allstar project that Graeme gave a brief introduction on last tech night.
Like the Allstar project, it is built on Raspberry Pi hardware (and can be a low cost Pi Zero 2w). The DigiPi project provides data Modes ( for both Mobile and Base Radios (HF and VHF/UHF), as well Handy talkies using a variety of audio/ptt interfaces including USB Radios, so if you have been wanting to dip your toes into the data modes, such as APRS Digipeater, APRS Packet radio, APRS Webchat, JS8Call, FT8, SSTV, ARDOP, FLDigi, Winlink Email, and other packet modes.
Not just for home, but perfect for SOTAs/POTAs as it instantly reverts to a Hotspot (when the normal network is not available) that you can connect a tablet to, as almost everything runs in a Browser Window (that’s right FT8/JS8Call,APRS web chat).
Anyway, you can learn more at this tech-night, but if you have no interest, Graeme will be available in the normal Tech Night room, working on preparing radios and I am sure he would love a hand.
There will also be a demonstration of a working AllStar Node for those interested.
As always there will be Tea, Coffee and Biscuits.
