New Ryde Bug-Fix Release

Post by G8GKQ » Sat Oct 17, 2020 12:34 pm

Some users had noticed that the Ryde receiver did not work properly with the latest batch of MiniTiouners that have been sold by the BATC Shop. The receiver would randomly display "LongMynd Not Loaded", and then cease to receive.

This has been a difficult bug to fix, as it was caused by a combination of tuner hardware tolerances and error handling procedures in 2 different sets of software. After over 4 weeks of work, Phil M0DNY, Tim MW0RUD and myself have finally fixed it (we hope).

The latest release (202010100) can be downloaded for new builds (see https://github.com/BritishAmateurTelevi ... ryde-build ) or existing builds can be updated from the ssh console menu.

There are no new features in this build - just increased reliability. Don't forget to watch Tim's presentation at CAT 20 viewtopic.php?f=128&t=6973 for exciting news of new features coming very soon (I've seen the preview!!).
