Node-Ventures

This release installs AutoSky and adds the relevant configuration parameters in Node Setup.

You’ll need to go to the NWS website to discover the county code for your local county. The HamVoIP team have a good document on getting that done: https://www2.hamvoip.org/AutoSky%20howto.pdf – look for the section “Set your County” – follow the instructions and in the example you’re looking for the code e.g. “PAC017” – copy that code and put it in “NWS County Code” in the Node Setup screen.

Don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you need help with AutoSky.

Other changes include:

• implementing cop,49/50 commands to enable/disable incoming connections
• implementing cop,21/22 commands to temporarily enable/disable Parrot mode

See the drop down menu from the icon in the top right corner of the Node detail screen

Also included is the ability to enable/disable the courtesy tone played when the remote AllStar or Echolink node unkeys.

Keep those suggestions coming !!

Stand by Android users – we’ll get you the update just as soon as we can 🙂

AllStar have updated their URL for downloading the AllMon Database. HamVoIP.org have updated the base image and repositories already. To get this update navigate to the node detail page, tap on the 3rd row under “Versions” (starts with “Asterisk…”) and accept the update dialog. If your node does not reboot, do so manually by tapping the power icon in the top right corner and choose “Reboot”. Look for “…V1.6.2-01…” within the Asterisk line after reboot.

Minor release that fixes a couple of bugs in Timed Events and also the Settings screen – Expert Mode switch was missing.

This brings the Android mobile app up to par with the Apple iOS version. Look out for the Timed Events functionality and enhancements to Voice Telemetry for both AllStar and Echolink.

In the TimedEvents section “Hourly” events are not saving properly and are being reverted to “Daily” with incorrect timing. Upgrade your RedNode software to API V 22 to apply a work around. The code in iOS will get fixed in the forthcoming release 1.14.

In mobile app release 1.13 (Android will catch up soon), in the “AllStar/Echolink setup” screen – long press on any setup item to activate a popup that gives a little more explanation of the purpose fo the item.

This release introduces Timed Events – the ability to automate connecting and disconnecting from remote nodes on an hourly, daily, weekly or monthly basis. Behind the scenes Timed Events uses the “Cron Job” system on your Linux Raspberry Pi – thus Timed Events supports arbitrary jobs which you can define as a “command”.

We’ve also extended the AllStar/Echolink setup screen – you now have a little more fine grained control over Duplex, Voice telemetry and Voice announcements.

As some folks noticed we were out of stock temporarily – we were missing a component. Production is underway again and the “Buy ClearNode” shopping basket has been restored.

73 … Gerry.

A ClearNode user reported this morning that the Android ClearNode mobile app crashes when there are IN-bound Echolink connections. We were able reproduce the problem and get a fix in place. Version 1.12.4 has been released with the fix. It may take a few hours before the new version propagates across Google’s servers.

The team at AllStarLink completed their server migration successfully and connectivity to stats.allstarlink.org has been restored.
