A google search helped me find the hsmm-pi project, which I downloaded and installed.  After configuration, I could see my other nodes, but could not connect to them.  Then I remembered that my nodes with the BBHN 3.x firmware cannot talk to nodes with the older HSMM firmware.

Another google search showed me there is also a bbhn-pi project.  I downloaded and installed this onto the same Pi.  I was hoping it would come up as a BBHN node, but after every reboot, it still identifies as HSMM-Pi.

My Linux skills are not that good.  Are there steps I can take to disable the hsmm-pi scripts so the bbhn-pi scripts can run?  A google search did not find the answer to this question.

Maybe the bbhn-pi installation steps should include removing or disabling the hsmm-pi scripts/functions.

Is there anything I can do in the current state or do I need to start over with a fresh Raspian SD?

Hi and thanks for the reply. I got it going after I found the instructions buried in the package management download list. If I type http://localnode:8080/cgi-bin/hamchat.pl into a browser I get to the chat window, but so far in my installations I have not found a link and do not see any mention of it on any screen. I'll keep looking.

Oh and Thunderbird is a good email package by Mozilla. It's very versatile and allows for dozens of email accounts across different servers. I use it with Paclink on VHF Packet.

Can you view your neighboring nodes?

I have the same issue. I can see my gateway node but cant see through it to the internet or anything else for that matter. I cant browse either neighbor... something broken... hardware is verified as good

We need some big time GURU Power here!!!

Hey there LTNS....

Finally got around to upgrading my v1.0.0 system to 3.1.0.

I upgraded my N6GKJ-1 node first. Upgraded without error or issue.

Upgraded N6GKJ-2 without error or issue.

I am having two things happen. First off my DNS is not updating properly. If I try to browse n6gkj-1:8080 I then get a page not found error. If I put in the IPADDR:8080 It works just fine.

Same for the OLSR at n6gkj:1978 ... page not found.

I manually updated my host file to get around that... I should not have had to do this.

2nd issue:

Node N6GKJ-1 can see N6GKJ-2 as a neighbor and vise versa that works fine. However I can't log into either neighbor I click on the link and I get page not found. I also cant ping the neighbor.

I manually entered the IPADDR for the neighbor and still cant browse it.

Is there a new process I missed or am I fighting a bug.

Both routers work perfectly before on v1.0.0

Any thoughts??

Ron...

To answer your questions -

@KD2HKB – 1) Google “ScannerCast” I use software called ScannerCast from k1pgv.com to capture the audio coming out of my scanners, digitizing it into an audio stream and sending it out to the internet. I have a RACK full of old scanners, each one connected to its own USB sound card, all connected to one PC, utilizing this software it works like a charm! Some (not all) of my scanners feed RadioReference.com's database of scanners all over the place. 2) I don't firewall between the HamNet and the Internet – I firewall between my local network and BOTH the Internet and HamNet. I am the local Internet link for my local mesh and I allow traffic both ways.

@AB9U – I access HamChat in my browser by clicking on the link in the mesh status screen that shows all the links to all the resources out there. Once “in” you just type your callsign, hit return and you will be dumped into the char server screen. “I” get to it via clicking a link, just like any other web page... Like - http://n5mbm.endoftheinternet.org:8081/cgi-bin/hamchat And what is thunderbird?

I have just started playing with ESP8266 boards. I'm not very far in getting a few applications to work with AT commands and slowly hooking it up to an Arduino. I may be wrong but the potential of these chips when it comes to HSMM mesh networking is tremendous. Is anyone else out there having the same idea? Would love to see some development by someone who really knows what's going on.

Note that the VTUN install instructions and links to the required files are at:

http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/documentation/204-the-tunnel.html 

The old info I posted earlier on installing VTUN no longer works with the BBHN software on the WRT54GS router.

Any body have plans for Dayton this year?

Planning to have a portable hsmm-pi on me along with 2m FM aprs (w8iss-7).

Where can the Broadband-Hamnet source code be found these days? The git server at ubnt.hsmm-mesh.org has been inaccessible for some time now. I'd like to examine the changes between 3.0.0 and 3.1.0 so I can make sure hsmm-pi remains compatible.

Thanks and 73,

I received a NanoStation M5 with a firmware of XW.v5.5.9, is there any hope that we will have a release to load on this device or should I send it back?
