Introducing Dreamcatcher - see picture!

Thanks Ken!, I tryed… in network settings changing create hotspot to connect to wifi router but I couldn’t find where is the wifi icon to select my wifi network and connect…also tryed typing my network name and pass in Wifi Client tab…them save and reboot but without success… Is it like this or is there something I’m forgetting?

It took me awhile to figure my “connect to wifi”. After it rebooted. It was on the local wifi… but you have to scan to find the assigned ip address (my router dynamically assigns the ip number). Then you set your browser to that ip address (it is not 10.0.0.1 anymore). I used an app on my android called fling to find the ip number that was assigned … I looked for the edup wifi devices. If you want a windows program try ‘angry ip scanner’.

Hello again - -

You’re here are in the Network:

Go to the Wifi Client tab

Put in your WiFi name and password, then go back to the Network Mode tab (making sure you select "Connect to a WiFi router’) and click Apply and Reboot. Skylark will be connected on your network. A word of caution here - - my.outernet.is may not work finding the IP address of your device - it depends on you router, so you may have to search out Dreamcatcher’s IP address thru your router’s DHCP list.

Syed @Syed introduced Dreamcatcher on March 21, 2017, whereupon I ordered one.

With its Active Patch Antenna, it has performed exceptionally well outside of Washington, DC, on Americas 98W. I have not taken it on any trips yet, but am impressed with its antenna’s beam width. No complaints here - - even with the USB Stick hosting the Rachel Database that I added, and my tinkering to add an uninterruptible power supply (USP) that has worked well.

I can’t claim the prize for longest “up time” since I tinker a bit, but the Dreamcatcher is stable. Naturally it doesn’t do everything everybody would like it to, but it WORKS!

So with that, I support efforts by all to package the Dreamcatcher for delivery to the undeserved. Ken

There is a small team working on this. Definitely not just me.

I just noticed that the SNR LEDs on the Dreamcatcher not seem to be working.
In Skylark a have a SNR between 2-3 but even the SNR1 LED is not on.

Is there just nothing implemented yet or is there another use for these leds on the Dreamcatcher?

regards,
Manuel

[Abhishek]

just not implemented yet, sorry

I just got a chance to set up my dreamcatcher with skylark 4.4 and am only getting with the active antenna screwed in the send terminal a high of .5. But when i put on myolder chip sdr combo antenna in the same terminal a high of about 2.4 or so . I also have with the older onit ben geyying 9. And 10.s with the dreamcatcher with new antenna in the same locationqnothing but the reading i gave above. I am located in ok and have been recieving the west 98 satellite fine with the older unit. Bythe way the older unit is not running the updated 4.4 skylark. Any help would be appreciated as l dont know if i am doing something wrong or not. Thanks

[Syed]

Have you confirmed that you are using the correct Skylark image? The one for the active antenna?

Hi…i am a new user here.I assume that the enclosure will be flush with the collar on the audio jacks, and the edge of the microSD port sticks out to about the far edge of the jack. That means that the microSD will be hanging outside the enclosure a bit, and it’s easy to damage this way.

[Syed]

There will initially be no enclosure.

When will I be able to purchase the dreamcatcher 3.0?

I am new to outernet. I tried setting up outernet with Pi today. Did not work for me hence the eagerness to know when the dreamcatcher will be available. I am working on a project to make outernet available to students in west Africa.
