I love this. Yes, I happened to have a pi sitting around hardly in use and this took about 10 minutes to install and configure. Super cool. I mean really.

Woa, good timing! My raspberry pi 5 arrives today and I reckon one of the first things I’ll do is follow this tutorial and install the ham clock pi !

Thank you for sharing this... you led me to the missing pieces of the puzzle that had been infuriating me for years. I know have HamClock running on my Windows 11 desktop, not on the Raspberry Pi (already had that working... it was getting it on my Win machine that was the struggle). This is, for me, a tremendous technical accomplishment and victory on the same level as the "Eureka" moment for Archimedes (except for the whole running naked through the streets part, of course). Always get a lot out of your videos, but this one is a crowning achievement that I will be celebrating later with an Arturo Fuente Opus X robusto (cigar) and a pour from my bottle of Lagavulin 16 yr old single malt (scotch). 73 de BJ, KM4RB

For some reason the download was slow and stopped on my Pi 3A+, so I did the download on my 4B 8 gb, got it done! Then put the card in the Pi 3A+ and it works great! Thanks!

You can totally run this in a Linux VM in VirtualBox and run HamClock on a separate monitor in full screen . Nice simple guide 👌🏻

Love my Ham Clock. I have one the is a Pi3B with the 7" touchscreen and I also run Ham Clock in a Docker container on one of my servers so I can hit it from any web browser on my network.

Hi Mike, Another great video. If you want to see any of the DX clusters in any of the upper windows, on Page 5 select Top-Down as the cluster direction. 73 WJ3U

You could also run Ham Clock as a docker on any VPS or PI running docker containers.

I missed the live chat. The FAQ explains the video resolution. He uses bitmaps which are generated for each resolution. So adding more means more bitmaps, which is not easy. It is possible that volunteering to do the work would be welcome.

For some reason the download and Pi was running very slow and eventually stopped at 13% download on my Pi 3A+, so I did the download on my Pi 4B 8 gb and got it done! I then put the card in the Pi 3A+ and it works great now! I don’t know why everything was so slow at first? I’m happy now. Thanks!

I just spent three days playing with installing a hamclock on a spare pi. There was more than once the resolution "broke" hamclock. Meaning it would say that it is running, but not be, and not have any way to close it out. The method that worked the best, and ultimately was the easiest was to leave it at 800x480 and then ssh from my PC and run [xrandr --output HDMI-1 --scale-from 800x480 --display :0] from the ssh terminal. The hamclock fully fills the TV screen with no black border. I think KM4ACK has an older video with a decent walkthrough. Now I wish I'd recorded my final install and configurations, so that maybe someone else won't have to struggle the way I did. Looks great now that it's done correctly.

Ahh, good to know. Thanks for the tip.

I've had no issues compiling and running at the highest resolution. I have an instance of HamClock running alongside Pi-Hole on a headless Pi. I've compiled the version that also provides a web page. It automatically scales to the resolution of the local web browser.

@KC7ZXYtube 5 ай бұрын

When using the browser to view HamClock compiled for 4K, I've found that pressing F11 to go full screen kiosk mode, triggers the clock to go full screen without the black bars.

@NovemberOneOscarGrouch 5 ай бұрын

@KC7ZXYtube I haven't tried using it in a browser. This pi only has one function; be a hamclock. It eliminated the need to have the same info on my desktop in browser and app forms. Now it's on its own pi, on its own TV and my third monitor can be used for more productive uses as part of my desktop.

Hay, thanks for showing this, I'm not the computer guy either, can you show how to add the desktop icon for this as I kinda meet up ! Thanks again !

Hi, n thanks for the video, well, I'm new to this, I have a new pi400, and try, but get , this will only install in system using bullseye and other, ? , what do I do to fix this ,(I tried second method, finally got it,) now how to get out of full screen and add desktop icon ? Ok, understand now, got it, thanks bro 😊

@JReed305 5 ай бұрын

I have been running it for the last year on an Inovato Quadra. Very handy to have.

@hamradiotube 5 ай бұрын

It's so much easier on the Quadra. Just turn it on, enter your settings and go. And the Quadra is full screen on my 720 monitor in my kitchen with no bars. Somehow they got the resolution right and this way doesn't. I'm not a computer guy so I have no idea how that happened but it shows it's possible.

@l.a.2646 5 ай бұрын

I can't get it to install on Raspian , says it needs bullseye, but isn't that 32 bit?

@brickerhaus 5 ай бұрын

I am surprised that it is hardcoded to the resolution like that. Good video. We need to get one that is maybe a webpage so that you can dynamically view it, it would be easier to display it on other devices as well. Or heck serve the website out to the local network.

@W2JLDRoc-ham 5 ай бұрын

it can be put on a windows machine

@KC7ZXYtube 5 ай бұрын

I've found that building the highest resolution web server version, will give a clock that scales with the browser. It's been working very well like that. I'm really pleased with this software. Amazed, actually. Take care. 73

This app has great potential. The user interface is a bit old school code it looks like. It would be interesting it someone can re-write this with a nicer more modern interface that will support more resolutions.

@KC7ZXYtube 5 ай бұрын

Just build the 4k web server version and it will scale to whatever you like. 😉 73

Hi Mike, , is it a waste of the processing power of a pi4 or pi5? Would this work on a pico for example? Cheers, Gary

@hamradiotube 5 ай бұрын

You'd have to try it. I have no idea. I only have 3's and 4's.

@KC7ZXYtube 5 ай бұрын

I have it running on a Pi4 alongside Pi-Hole. CPU seems to run around 21% which ain't too bad. Even with both (pi-hole and HamClock) running, only 420MB of the 4GB of RAM is in use. In my opinion/experience, HamClock will barely tax a modest Pi4. I also have HamClock running on a Pi3 and it performs just about the same as on the Pi4. Will likely run fine on Pi Zero 2.

I was wondering why it is not an app. I would love to use it on my phone. Use it on my tablet. Make it the actual desk top. Just a thought. 1.99 a download. It would pay for the conversion to a android language in days.
