Re: [time-nuts] Lady Heather Server On Raspberry Pi 2 Model B?

This turned out to be an easy way to run Lady Heather itself (herself ?) on Linux - it works well under Wine, but identifying the serial port is a problem. But run Heather with '/ip=localhost' and ser2net to connect to the USB serial port and all is smooth. I used the ser2net config line

Re: [time-nuts] Lady Heather Server On Raspberry Pi 2 Model B?

For those who want to remotely monitor their Thunderbolt, I am getting ready to put out a new Thunderbolt kit with WiFi. With the WiFi option, it is a server compatible with LadyHeather in client mode over the net. The prototype is working, I am ready to buy the production hardware, which

Re: [time-nuts] Lady Heather Server On Raspberry Pi 2 Model B?

What do you know, someone beat me to it, dragging up my old tboltd. I will check this out on the Raspberry Pi over the next few days, but it should be close to working right out of the box. Ralph AB4RS > On Wed, January 13, 2016 8:30 am, Nick Sayer wrote: >>> No, ntpd would be getting time from

Re: [time-nuts] Lady Heather Server On Raspberry Pi 2 Model B?

I wrote a program called tboltd that does just that. You have the option of having it write the time to shared memory and using NTP's SHM driver. You can get it at http://topoatlas.com/tboltd/tboltd.gz. It compiles on FreeBSD, not sure about Linux. tboltd allows LH to connect while it does its

More details please. I've installed it, but can't make it work. My USB/serial cable is /dev/ttyUSB0 just like yours. I used your .conf file. But lady heather says connection rejected. Ed On 1/11/2016 8:00 PM, Nick Sayer via time-nuts wrote: I answered my own question. :) ser2net works

Hi Mark, That was well understood when I stated that your life would have been easier had QT been used. It would have... DOS was a real pain for doing mouse and graphics stuff. QT makes it easy.. But QT would have also slowed a DOS era processor to a stop, and it would probably still be

Re: [time-nuts] Lady Heather Server On Raspberry Pi 2 Model B?

I’m going to guess “no,” because only one thing can connect to the ser2net socket at a time. If I were going to do it, what I might do is connect up the PPS output of the tbolt to a GPIO pin of the RPi and configure that pin for the pps device and set up ntpd for that. That way, LH can have

If you telnet or nc into your rpi on port 3200, you should get a connection and you should get a bunch of garbage. If not, ser2net isn’t working. Is it running? sudo /etc/init.d/ser2net restart (did you do that after changing the config file?) If ser2net is working then it must be something

Ed: A few recommendations for troubleshooting. In /etc/ser2net.conf comment out the 4 default lines (/dev/ttyS0-3) so that the line Nick provided is the only config present. Stop ser2net: /etc/init.d/ser2net stop then restart: /etc/init.d/ser2net start Make sure ser2net is running:

I answered my own question. :) ser2net works perfectly as a “server” for LH. I’m using a USB to serial adapter and the ser2net.conf line for it is 3200:raw:0:/dev/ttyUSB0:9600 8DATABITS NONE 1STOPBIT LOCAL And for LH, /ip=n.n.n.n:3200 works. > On Jan 11, 2016, at 9:30 AM, Nick Sayer via

Re: [time-nuts] Lady Heather Server On Raspberry Pi 2 Model B?

If you stick to something like QT4, which is either python, or C++, it is rather easy. QT4 has everything set up for you already, and a compiler for the graphics screens. You create the basic screen in the designer, and tell it what you want it to do when a mouse hovers, clicks, drags, etc...

Re: [time-nuts] Lady Heather Server On Raspberry Pi 2 Model B?

How about a simpler question. I see in the documentation that LH can use a network connection to remotely read. Can a server for that protocol be made for the RPi? That would be super awesome deluxe for me, and assuming it's just a serial-to-TCP protocol should be nearly trivial to write (heck,

LH is an excellent program, and it needs to be brought into polite society, by making it run natively on all platforms. Changing it to Python, and PyQT4, is easy, but there is a lot of code base to sift through. Once on Python, and PyQT4, it will run natively everywhere. Including smartphones
