Ham Clock Review Part 2 (24" LCD & More Details)

[@joes5425]

Hey Bobby. If you click on the left side of the call sign box, you can also change the color of the call sign letters. Thanks, Joe.

Hey thanks Joe for that tip!

Very nice demonstration. I am currently in the process of putting this together with a Pi3b I have collecting dust.

Enjoyed the video and feature explanation but I was hoping you were going to explain how you got it to display larger like that. I’m running Ham Clock on a pi4 loaded with HamPi.

[@KC5TGTRadiosNMore]

Sorry, as mentioned please follow the instructions on clearskyinstitute.com website for all the instructions on how to get it working on a larger monitor. Once there click on the "Desktop" Tab, then scroll down and look for "To try it on an RPi using a dedicated HDMI or DSI display, follow these steps:" You may need to try several settings on their website to get it working which is why I didn't want to get to specific. Thanks for watching and 73

Got mine working. Thanks for explaining the features. It's better than RTFM. Hi Hi!

How are you getting the ISS to show up in lower left panel and on the map in the middle?

[@Gridl6]

Got it. I don't know why that was not working earlier.

[@KC5TGTRadiosNMore]

No problem. Glad you got it working!

Tell me again exactly what the "display off" feature does?? i just cant get my clock to respond in any way no matter what time i tell it to turn off.

[@KC5TGTRadiosNMore]

You basically use "Display" to schedule a time to put the monitor to sleep. I have mine set to go to sleep (off at 21:00) and come back (on at 6:00). To adjust, I believe you'll have to click in the numerical fields to adjust the on/off time. If it's not behaving the way it should hate to say it but your only option might be formatting the SD card and starting over. Mine has been very stable and has pretty much functioned without issues.

[@herbgarciakm6jbi542]

Have you gotten HamClock to work with WSJT-X?

[@KC5TGTRadiosNMore]

To my knowledge HamClock is a standalone application. I'm not familiar with anything that interfaces an exchange of data between these two applications.

[@dennisschultz1175]

what resolution is the monitor you are using?

[@KC5TGTRadiosNMore]

DMT Mode 58 1680x1050 60Hz 16:10 I had to try a few different resolution settings before I found the one above was best for my monitor. You can still SSH into it anytime from another computer and make adjusts in rasp-config. You may have to try several before you get it right.
