Pi-Star Logo

Want you own callsign logo in Pi-Star ?

Step 1 : get MMDVMHost src…….

    a few steps are needed clone https://github.com/g4klx/MMDVMHost
    follow instructions for needed dependencies etc eventually you need to make the bin with make -f Makefile.Pi.OLED

Step 2 : Make a logo, convert it to cpp code and copy it into OLED.cpp

    Make a logo, convert it to cpp code and copy it into OLED.cpp

    Follow the instructions on the Pi-Star Logo Maker page.

Step 3 : Make a update file for easy updates

    Make a update file for easy updates in the MMDVMHost directory.
    run :
    cd
    cd MMDVMHost
    rpi-rw
    sudo nano update.sh

    Insert this content into the file:
    git pull
    make -f Makefile.Pi.OLED
    sudo service mmdvmhost stop
    sudo cp MMDVMHost /usr/local/bin/
    sudo service mmdvmhost start

    Ctrl-X, Y , enter to save the file, then lets make the file executable with
    chmod +x update.sh

    and run it, don’t forget to run rpi-rw first if the disk is in (ro) mode.
    ./update.sh

    If all goes well, MMDVMHost service will restart and it will show your logo. 🙂

Important Notice : Read me please !!

    When Pi-star updates the MMDVMHost binary, the update (sudo pistar-update) will complain that you changed the file, in that case stop service ,delete file, update pi-star and copy your file over the update (see example below).
    Example 1:
    cd
    cd MMDVMHost
    rpi-rw
    sudo service mmdvmhost stop
    sudo rm /usr/local/bin/MMDVMHost
    sudo pistar-update
    rpi-rw
    sudo service mmdvmhost stop
    sudo cp MMDVMHost /usr/local/bin/MMDVMHost
    sudo service mmdvmhost start
    Example 2:
    cd
    cd MMDVMHost
    rpi-rw
    sudo service mmdvmhost stop
    sudo rm /usr/local/bin/MMDVMHost
    sudo pistar-update

    and then run ./update.sh, don’t forget to run rpi-rw first if the disk is in (ro) mode.

I hope this helps starting OLED nerds 🙂
