I REALLY appreciate the schematic diagram showing the interactions between Radiomail, Varanny and the headless comp, you do a great job explaining for computer illiterates like me
Do you do some sort of weekly exercise or ritual? Like go out to a remote location or something. Just looking for creative ways to stay in practice, keep capacitors from drying out, and have fun!
@@cchalfantusa I do the Winlink Wednesday Net. There are other Winlink nets, but Winlink Wednesday is one of the more popular ones. I'll be using my Mobilinkd TNC with an HT and RadioMail to check-in to the net today via VHF at a local gateway.
It worked like a charm, now I really can enjoy RadioMail. Now the question is, how about in a Raspberry PI? I have many of those laying around and will hurt to buy ANOTHER single board pc.
I would need this integrated with an Android app. Looks like RadioMail is iPhone only. Thanks though! It's a huge step in the right direction for Vara.
The Beelink T4 Pro Mini PC acts as the WiFi hotspot, providing an IP address to your phone. You can turn that functionality on in Windows, see 25:40 . Visit github.com/islandmagic/varanny/wiki/VARA-HotSpot-Windows-Setup-Guide for a complete guide
You did it again to help us with remote or emergency email. One question is widows can reconfigure com ports how do you stop that from happening for this setup.
There might be a solution for this but I don't use Windows enough to have an answer. For more reliability, I would recommend setting up under Linux. This other video covers that ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kPDTH4L319Q.html
Can you PLEASE provide detailed instructions of how to install Varanny on a Pi? Ive purchased Radiomail and unfortunately 99% of the nodes I can reach are in Vara so without varanny the app is useless for me. I've tried what you show in this video and purchased one of those bee-micro computers but it runs painly slow I assume because is running windows. (Haven't have the hostpot thing working yet). Im pretty sure the installation on a Pi is pretty easy but I am not very familiar with compiling/decompilling stufff. Im more familiar with run ./command and get it going. Do I just unzip it in a directory and go from there? How do I install VARA on a Pi? I assume probably using one of the scripts from KM4ACK but then how varanny makes that connection? I will appreciate your help as I really want to get this going and be able to use the Radiomail.
There is a video on installing under Linux, which will be similar for Pi ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kPDTH4L319Q.html. There are compiled executable already, so just download and unzip. This being said, if you have access to a micro PC already, it will be far easier to use it so you don't have to deal with added complexities of install VARA on a Pi. Yes they are a bit slow but fully capable of running VARA FM and HF
