I was debating not even putting this into the post, but I think it’s important to start with the fact that after you set the wifi SSID and password, you need to physically remove power from the Pi-Star then plug it back in, otherwise you’re stuck on the default setup network. So if you just bought one of these Raspberry Pi Zero W based hotspots fully assembled, you might want to watch the video below and keep the following road bumps in mind:īump #1: Turn it off and turn it back on again after setting the WiFi password
However, most of the how-to videos on setting up cheap eBay Pi-Star DMR hotspots do not cover getting the Hotspot Security Settings correct, and it’s not obvious that you might need a firmware update to fix this.
ABSOLUTE LOJACK CALL BACKS MANUALS
It’s in my DNA not to read instruction manuals and dive straight into tinkering with “Internet of Things” stuff like this, and originally I wasn’t going to bother doing a post about setting up Pi-Star to work with Brandmeister because there’s already a bazillion other how-to videos out there. KD9CPB got me the DMR radio of my dreams for Christmas, and naturally I bought the cheapest possible eBay MMDVM hotspot to fuel my new joy of digital ham radio without tying up the local DMR repeater. As always, opinions in this post are solely those of my own, and not necessarily those of any organization I am currently affiliated with or have been in the past.
