1 month ago There was a short time that there was version had an issue with gain parameter being passed correctly. Can you report the output of having run the following command please?
cat $HOME/raspberry-noaa-v2/.git/config
Would you be interested in Beta Testing the next Raspberry-NOAA-V2 which includes 64-bit support?
OS requirements : Debian 11 or 12 (32-bit or 64-bit)
Please follow these steps to ensure best outcome.
1) Perform a fresh OS install
2) Install the latest OS updates.
sudo apt update
sudo apt -y full-upgrade
sudo reboot
3) Use github for pulling the RN2 bookworm-support branch down.
cd $HOME
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/jekhokie/raspberry-noaa-v2.git -b aarch64-support
4) Modify settings.yml as you normally would (There is a new parameter called enable_coronal)
vi $HOME/raspberry-noaa-v2/config/settings.yml
5) Execute the install script
cd $HOME/raspberry-noaa-v2
./install_and_upgrade.sh
4) New feature - Execute the Verification Tool and look for any unacceptable failures
$HOME/raspberry-noaa-v2/scripts/tools/verification_tool/verification.sh quick
NOTE * If you need to remove RN2, execute the uninstall script
$HOME/raspberry-noaa-v2/scripts/tools/caution_uninstall_rn2.sh

I’ll certainly have a look at the Beta testing the latest. What typical aspects should I be aware of for this beta version?
Many thanks.

I'm not sure I understand the question. There are a number of incremental fixes in this version that are not in the MASTER version you are presently running, so our hopes is a better experience for users as well as supporting 64-bit OS.

1 month ago I was just asking if there was anything in the Beta version you would specifically like tested, but I’m guessing by your response, you’re just seeing if it works on my system.
After a card failure, I have now successfully installed the beta version and it does seem to be working well. Bias Tee is working and I’ve played with a few options and config to confirm it’s nominally more stable on a RPi4 B+ running Bookworm than the master release. I’ll keep an eye on it over the next day or two, but thank you for the pointer to the 64-bit compatible beta version.

1 month ago All seems good today as well. May I ask if there is code in any of the branches for the original V2 Home Screen that displays processor usage, sunspot activity, etc? I’d love to keep that going if possible.

RN2 is a stripped down version which only install the things needed to receive and process APT telemetry. I am going to guess that you are referring to the utilities that someone else is bundling together in the pre-built images that can be installed on a Micro SDCard to get you going quickly. I believe the README references those installation paths under the heading of
"Super Easy setup: Use a maintained image"
, but its my understanding that those images lag the development and code fixes the we develop here.

I’ve recently updated to the latest code to include the Meteor M2-x satellites. I de-installed the old version of Raspberry NOAA and installed the new version, with apparent success.
I revised the Config file to include my preferred settings, which includes enabling the 5V Bias T setting as I use an RTL-SDR V3 with compatible RTL-SDR amplifier (both RTL-SDR Blog kit). Note that all worked very well in the previous version of software and I reliably received NOAA images extending from southern Europe to top of Greenland etc images.
However, with the new version, I seem to be able to receive one pass that works well, but all subsequent passes have very poor reception and it looks like the Bias T powering the RTL-SDR amplifier may have been turned off after the first pass, but does not turn on for subsequent passes until I reboot the RPi - I can’t see the green light turn on the amplifier. Passes after the first one (for NOAA) barely cover the UK (and are noisy), whilst subsequent Meteor passes do not process at all.
I’m a bit stumped as to what might be happening here?
