0.4.12-19-alpha.4

Updated with new packages to correct a significant bug with the ephemeris cache. The repository has the updates.

With this release I will be slowing down on these posting. I will still put up major releases, and incremental improvements will still be posted to the repository and document changes/additions in the Docs directory, all of which can be done locally from my development systems.

This is a pre-release version. It is not feature complete but does have some configuration; still not quite a minimum viable product. However, if you wish to try it here are two packages for Debian based distributions. One is compiled on x86-64 Linux-Mint but should install and run on Debian, Ubuntu, etc. The other was built on my Raspberry Pi Model 4b but runs on my Model 3b, both have the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS installed. To install, add my repository and:
sudo apt install hamchrono
or download the appropriate deb file then:
sudo apt install ./hamchrono-0.4.1-8.armv7l.deb on a Pi
sudo apt install ./hamchrono-0.4.1-8.x86_46.deb on x86

Internet connectivity is required for anything interesting to happen.

The application is designed to run directly on the frame buffer of a Raspberry Pi connected to the official 7-inch touch display, mine is mounted in a SmartyPi case. It will run just fine on a Pi or X86 machine with a Linux desktop as well. If you have a keyboard (and mouse if not connected to the touch screen) you can set user configuration using the configuration dialog (press the callsign button) or using command line options:
hamchrono -cs <your callsign> -lat <latitude> -lon <longitude> -el <elevation>

Latitude and longitude are in decimal degrees, South and West are negative values, elevation in meters.

Also have a look at the basic program documentation.

0.4.1-8-alpha.1

This is a very pre-release version. It is not feature complete but does have some configuration; still not quite a minimum viable product. However, if you wish to try it here are two packages for Debian based distributions. One is compiled on x86-64 Linux-Mint but should install and run on Debian, Ubuntu, etc. The other was built on my Raspberry Pi Model 4b but runs on my Model 3b, both have the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS installed.

0.1.2-0-alpha.0

This is a very crude pre-release version. It is not feature complete and does not have much in the way of configuration; certainly not a minimum viable product. However, if you wish to try it here are two packages for Debian based distributions. One is compiled on x86-64 Linux-Mint but should install and run on Debian, Ubuntu, etc. The other was built on my Raspberry Pi Model 4b but runs on my Model 3b, both have the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS installed. To install, download the appropriate deb file then:
sudo apt install ./hamchrono-0.1.2-0.armv7l.deb on a Pi
sudo apt install ./hamchrono-0.1.2-0.x86_46.deb on x86

Internet connectivity is required for anything interesting to happen.

To run: hamchrono -cs <your callsign> -lat <latitude> -lon <longitude>

Latitude and longitude are in decimal degrees, South and West are negative values.
