Sensorgnome V2 software RC14

Nope, not 1.0 yet :-(. A few of us have been working on failure modes where FUNcube radios stop producing data (this is independent of the SG software) and I think it’s important to get the error handling to revive those radios into the V1.0 software. I’ve implemented most of it but it will need quite some testing. So in the meantime I’ve prepared RC14, which adds a couple of small features. If you are installing a new SG please use this, if you already have V2 save your energy for when 1.0 is ready ;-) (but if you want to help with testing I do appreciate if you upgrade to the latest!).

Fixes and improvements in this release:

  • add 1-page view (instead of tabbed) for screen shots/saves

  • add UTC time in top-right corner of web UI for screen shots/saves

  • log change of release train to syslog

  • add ability to alter boot count (software tab, danger zone)

  • preliminary support for SensorStation V3

  • revert boot count “epoch” feature

Please connect your Sensorgnome to the Internet (ethernet, wifi, or cellular): it provides a wealth of monitoring data and makes troubleshooting and helping you sooo much easier!

Upgrading from 2023-XXX or RC12-or-earlier: before upgrading, the software repository key needs to be updated: SSH in and run the following command (all one line), after that the upgrade button in the Web UI will work as usual:
sudo curl -L -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/sensorgnome.gpg https://sensorgnome.s3.amazonaws.com/sensorgnome.gpg

As usual, please don’t hesitate to contact me if you encounter issues, need help, or simply have a question/comment.

Thanks much!
