Hi Alan,?

His issue was 32 bit OS with 64 bit .Net.

I will modify the 64 bit WiKi to be more explicit about how to download and install the 64 bit OS since the Raspberry OS installer tool does not have a selection for 64 bit OS.

I have been running the 64 bit OS on a Pi 3b and Pi 4 for a while without issue.

Also....

Mark, MKCM Software, has an excellent Readme documenting all aspects of using FRStack on Raspberry Pis (32 and 64), Macs and Linux machines.

He has details for all the installs of Dot.Net, Node-Red, and FRStack. ?Also, details on the FRStack Configuration file (UDP broadcasts for meters and N1MM formatted packets, default settings, and Com settings for PG-XL and SPE amps)

And a list of all of the REST commands for controlling your Flex, Your PG-XL, and SPE amp. ?He recently added GPIO relay controls. ? Use these commands to build Node-Red flows and to build custom buttons on your StreamDeck Device.

The numeric decimal and thousands separator is determined by the language of the operating system.

I am not aware of any application level settings.

Could you have been using a different language on the PI vs. the Linux machine?

Re: Video Frstack

#1346

Well, looks like that was my issue. Mixing 32 bit OS and 64 bit .Net Core.

Looking at it now, it all makes sense. But I just didn't know what I didn't know. :-)

I'm still at baby steps here, but have made it to the point of being able to load some flows.

I think I'll have a crack at loading up another version, this time paying attention to a 64 bit OS.

Maybe I'll learn something along the way... hihi

Sorry to hijack your thread, Jan. Maybe this was the error you were having.

Thanks guys for all the help with this.

Yea, took me a bit to figure it out. Plus I didn't have a ton of examples to work from. Most of the other flows use UDP and this is TCP. N3FJP does a great job of going over his API so that was a ton of help.?

Ended up needing a couple of REGEX?(?<=TXTENTRYCALL)? to get the data field it's sending and?(?<=<VALUE>).*?(?=<\/VALUE>) to extract the value returned. Just a switch node to direct to the correct output location.?

Need to format for the different contest logs he has. Primarily working to get this running for Winter Field Day to start with.?

The raspios_arm64-2020-08-24 is the latest version of 64 bit OS. Download that and use the Windows Imager tool to burn it to an SD card. When selecting an OS select custom and browse to the file you download.

OK, so I retraced my steps, starting with the Raspberry Pi Imager. Looks like the only OS options I see are 32 bit.?

Admittedly, I didn't pay a lot of attention to which options were available when I started this endeavor. I took the default (recommended) option.

So maybe that's where my problem lies - 32 bit OS and 64 bit .Net Core - I'll try installing the 32 bit .Net and we'll see.

I'll be watching for your progress as well.

Yes, possible but I would prefer people be able to load the software and configure it so they are familiar with terminal mode. Also we have limited storage on the Goups.io group.

Would it be possible to create an image file, zip it up and then upload it to the file section? You could delete any flows first. I have done this with a couple of pi projects. It gives newbies a known starting point.

Just a thought.

But how do I check which version of OS this thing has on it?

I thought the Pi 4's were 64bit.

.Net core needs to match to OS. So if 64 bit OS you install 64 bit .Net

You can run dotnet—info

That is a space then double dash after dotnet.?

This will show .Net version installed.?

Re: Video Frstack

Your Dot.Net is not installed.

Repeat all the steps for Dot.net.? When you "unzip" the file, pay particular attention that you adjust the name of the file to be unzipped to match the actual version number you downloaded.

To do this, while you are in the Downloads folder, do a "ls" command to show the files.? Copy the name of the Dot.net into the zip file, removing the name that is shown in the Wiki.? Or, just?adjust the version number to match.
