As announced in CQ-TV 275, I have recently issued an update (202203071) to the Portsdown 4 with the following enhancements:
  • Local web browser access to the touchscreen controls
  • Full support for the DFRobot 5 inch touch screen
  • Integration of Langstone V2, with the ability to use the LimeSDR instead of the Pluto
Full details are in CQ-TV. Please report any bugs or problems here.

Dave, G8GKQ

Web browser looks and works well.
When viewing snaps maybe an exit or back to listing or a next button ?
I read about using back button in web browser in the doc's CQ-TV 275.
Thanks
Rob

I like the use of a virtual drive in RAM to store the screen snapshots, preventing wear on the SD card and improving the speed.

Clever!

The combination of the web interface and VLC on my PC worked really well over Ethernet.

I watched the BATC net on the PC, PD4 doing the business!

The web access is a neat feature, thank you.

Na het updaten kreeg ik de volgende error.

Error Undefined parameter p3label in file:
/home/pl/rpidatv/scripts/portdown_presets.txt
Restore manually or by factory reset
Touch Screen to Continu

Hoe kan ik dit verhelpen

This means that at some time you have deleted the label for Preset 3.

Two options:
  • Perform a factory reset. Log in to the command line, type menu, and use the menu option for a factory reset. Or:
  • Edit the presets file to correct it:

    Code: Select all

    nano /home/pl/rpidatv/scripts/portdown_presets.txt
    Use the arrow keys to go down to the p3label line and set it:

    Code: Select all

    p3label=1255_HD
    Then press ctrl-x, y, enter.
    Then type

    Code: Select all

    gui
    and it should run OK.
There is an example portdown_presets.txt file here https://github.com/davecrump/portsdown4 ... s.txt#L217
