I just asked to reply me on mail, nothing special.

Sinamics hmm, that was strange. I will look into that.

thanks, its very strange for me. It look like during autostart something prevent to setup communication between drone and ground station. UAVcast service looks like running. When I type "systemctl list-units" command output is service is loaded, active and running. But i need to stop it and run manual , than it works fine.

mocart I`ll have to test this on my PI when im back home. I will get back to you.

Hi Bernt, I know you are busy with the latest changes to UAVcast but can you take a look on this "autostart" issue?

Sinamics

Hi everyone.
I`m currently developing on UAVcast, and i guess i should have a beta release within two weeks.
The breaking changes will be WEB interface for parameters adjustment ect. The communication link with RPI is based on Socket.io which has instant feedback to GUI.

Key changes:
1. Web Interface for changing parameters and status pages.
2. UAVcast Software will be updated with latest.
3. code bugs.

BillyLam hello, I would like to ask dos anyone one recently successfully have 4G setup with Navio and UAVcast (after emild update their OS.

I have not testet UAVcast with the latest Navio yet, but i will update UAVcast to support Navio as well in the next release.

BillyLam

Sinamics
Thanks mate ! so does it mean the web version of UAVcast will support Navio board ?😉

Sinamics

Another great day with programming.
Most of the values are mapped to the new webinterface.

BillyLam I cannot guarantee anything, but i will do my best to update UAVcast to support Navio.

BillyLam

Sinamics
Cool ! meanwhile, since UAVcast is not support navio, is it possible to follow your previous guide How to Navio

to make it work, because I couldn't find any documentation for 4G connection for Navio at Emild website

Thanks for you help

Sinamics

BillyLam I dont think so. Seems like Emlid have changed allot lately. I will try to implement the new features into the UAVcast webinterface

I have spent some time developing UAVcast to support Navio+ & Navio2
I think we have a working platform now, so feel free to give it a try.

Flash SD card with Emlid Raspberry image . Tested with Jessie version.
Install UAVcast as described Sinamics

mocart Hi Bernt, I know you are busy with the latest changes to UAVcast but can you take a look on this "autostart" issue?

Try the following.

edit file UAVcast/install/systemd/UAVcast.service
add: ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 10 under [service] tag.
Save and close.

Type these commands to reload systemd
cp UAVcast.service /lib/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl daemon-reload

This will add 10s delay for the UAVcast to start during startup.

Sinamics As we talked yesterday I did reinstall whole pi3. This means image is fresh and there no additional software on sd card. only casting software. Again there is the same problem, when I enable casting on boot with IP address as a destination CGS it works perfect. If there is xxxx.ddnd.net address in destination field it`s does not work at boot. I need to login remotley PI stop casting and start again and then everthing works fine. It look like something on boot prevent PI read dns address to start casting. Camera is on but there is no video at CGS side and telemetry does not work 🙁

Guys.
If anyone wants to try out my new UAVcast branch, then do these steps.

rm -rf UAVcast/ (if you have UAVcast already installed)
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git -y
sudo git clone https://github.com/UAVmatrix/UAVcast.git
cd UAVcast/install
sudo ./install.sh web (notice the web argument)

When installation is complete, just reboot Raspberry and access UAVcast webinterface from your browser.
http://ip_to_rpi

Compatibility Status

RPI 0w working
RPI 1 Uknown
RPI 2 Working Installation time approx. 20min
RPI 3 Working Installation time approx. 15min

If you want to disable webserver on reboot type pm2 unstartup

!NOTE:: There is no security layer added to web server yet (There will be user authentication in upcoming releases). Other people can access your webpage, so i will suggest to stop webserver before flight.

For your information.
I have installed web version two times now on RPI3 and two times on RPI2 including Navio+ & Navio2 version with exact instructions described Sinamics without any problems.

Notice!
When installing Navio image, remember to select your frame type Binary from the Flight Controller Menu
UAVcast will download each frame type if they not exsist. You will be promted before download starts.

Sees like node is not installed.
Try typing:

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.31.6/install.sh | bash
      export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
      [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"
      nvm install node
