Dreamcatcher Chat 0.2

The Github repo is incorrect. It should point to the following.

That repo has the latest version of the chat application, including the GUI. It also includes better, simpler instructions on getting everything up and running.

Here’s my fix - -

Yes, that’s correct.

Another Feature request:

I am reviewing other boards that are doing similar Chat capabilities and most are using a Bluetooth as the local connection to a web device (phone or tablet).

Idea: could a bluetooth dongle be plugged into the usb port used by the edup wifi as an alternate connection option. ??? and supported by the software. and an older model tablet using android 4.x for example.

example of plug in adapter:

It should be possible. You will have to do some configuring to allow network access over bluetooth.

Yes, what @demandzm said. The adapter would need to have Linux support.

found another 900mhz antenna (US $14), this one has a sma(male)

there are others with ipex1, ipex4, a u.fl, ipex MHF connectors for direct to the board.
I am still researching the best way to attach, I am not a fan of snapping the u.fl , so I like the jumper othernet has been providing but it does introduce signal loss at each adapter.

The bug in the chat app should be fixed. Just run the installer again:

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Othernet-Project/dreamcatcher-chat/master/install.sh | sudo bash

Garbled text should no longer crash the server. Instead, you should see a message in the GUI saying that garbled text was received.

My projects always seem to requires several trips the hardware store … I got the FrSky Super 8 antennas, but they (of course) had an un-expected reverse polarity sma male on it’s coax. So to make it all work… I have now made a second ordered for adapters…

Your lucky your connectors are not reverse threaded. I ran into this problem on a VHF antenna that used reverse thread N type and TNC type connectors. Try to find adapters for those :woozy_face: Ken
