rhaen<p>Do you want to know when Brandmeister Talkgroups are active? You care about the Bit Error Rate (BER) of your hotspot? Want to run your monitoring instance for your hotspot? You are covered by me. I have made two small plugins for Munin, the monitoring system. Munin is a lightweight monitoring system that is well suited to be operated on your Raspberry Pi. The software is licensed under the MIT licence, as usual.</p><p><a href="https://codeberg.org/rhaen/hamrobot-munin" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">codeberg.org/rhaen/hamrobot-mu</span><span class="invisible">nin</span></a></p><p>Are you a ham who uses a hotspot for DMR using MMDVMHost?

rhaen<p>Right from a QSO on DMR. So, voila - so far have we gone with the MMDVM external display using M5Stack, Blockly and MQTT. The Mosquitto server doesn't harm the Raspberry Pi at all - so CPU stays very low (same as temperature at ~ 52° C). The load stays at 0.02 with me still experimenting. So I guess this setup should even work without any challenges on the Raspberry Pi Zero. Code is still a mess and it looks like someone is prototyping ;) - however; we are getting somewhere. Some of the field are still static. <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/mmdvm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mmdvm</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/hotspot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hotspot</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/dmr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dmr</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/m5stack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>m5stack</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/mosquitto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mosquitto</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/mqtt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mqtt</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/hamradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hamradio</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/pistar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pistar</span></a></p>
rhaen<p>If you ever wanted to know what's going on in your talkgroups on your local hotspot, I've you covered. Right now it's in the state of "working for me" and requires some more documentation :) But here is how it looks like.

Patrick ON4CDJ<p>Not really active on digital voice modes, but nevertheless I do have a hotspot running Pi-Star, and I came across this new (to me) customized fork to get a new look and extra features.
