Hi there,
if I decide to move the location of an atom grid (e.g. because the location is not that good for coverage) how do I do that in an easy way?
Lat and long, height of antenna and station name would need to be changed.
Kind regards,
Patrick

These days that’s a fairly simple job Patrick - not like when we first started.
1. Connect to the unit by its IP address or via ‘ognpaw.local’, or by temporarily adding a keyboard and monitor.
2. Login to the Raspberry Pi using the defaults or ‘pi’ plus your set password.
3. When you get to the command prompt, simply type ‘config’ [Enter] then wait for things to happen and follow the on-screen Instructions as they appear. It really is that easy.
Remember you will need to run the config once the unit is in its final location to redo the GSM Scan which sets the frequency offset, gain and centre frequency for the FLARM Receiver to local conditions.
Best Regards
Peter

Okay thanks Peter. That's pretty easy indeed.
One more question:
I bought a watertight box to put everything in, however space ways I can only use the right hand side USB slots (with the ethernet being on the left). I guess these are ports 3 and 4. Can I configure those to usb port for the Flarm and ADSB RTL sdr? E.g. the Flarm top right, ADSB bottom right. If yes, how do I do that?
Kind regards,
Patrick

The configure script will detect and prompt for the correct position
Thx
