Relay Mode Broken #98
Comments
Closing this because there is a very minimal need for this among the community. Also, with all of the communication programs between smart sink, the openhd app etc. The complexity of getting this going and defining the different configurations while keeping everything house listed above in good working order would simply require too much time at the moment. Perhaps we can revisit this in the future after higher priority items are addressed. |
Reopening due to popular request... Need to figure out how to integrate relay mode with all of the other bi-directional remote settings and QOpenhd features.... |
Feature request: Discussed on TELEGRAM with Luke:
What is needed that will work (and now works fine on Openhd):
Please make a quotation: with delivery time and costs. |
I’ll just point out the obvious a bit... Airpi and groundpi require no changes as far as I can tell Relaypi |
I tried to be clever, and it didn't work. In short, I am trying to drop multiple repeaters over a large distance as needed to maintain a connection from a rover to the ground station. From reading the thread above, I get the impression there are a few issues with the Relay Mode. Therefore, before beginning to tackle the Relay mode problem, I thought it might be possible to extend the hotspot using off the shelf tech. I grabbed two AC Netgear Wi-Fi repeaters, made a quick Mod, so they ran off a wee battery, set them up, and got testing. As you can probably already guess, I didn't get the results I was hoping for. Still trying to figure out an exact reason as to why not, but results are results. Ok then, so back to the broken Relay mode. I don't mean to be blunt, but just how broken is it? Would more than one even Relay Pi be possible without a massive overhaul? I plan on doing some more testing today. Specifically working through setting up a relay Pi in the way described above just to |
Relay is possible via normal wifi or ethernet, wifibroadcast-relay is currently not planned |
This issue has been documented a couple times.
relay mode is where a user has a large ground station then relays using openhd on a different frequency usually 5.8 to a smaller portable ground Raspberry Pi.
Justin Healey:
hey there, did you ever test if the relay over open HD was working?
Zipray:
Simultaneous insertion of rtl8812au and ar9271 on the ground will be stuck in smart synchronization
Justin Healey:
do you mean for the relay only? or simultaneous use of atheros and Realtek cards?

Zipray:
It doesn't matter with relay, even if you disable smart sync, it will get stuck.
Including relay, external WiFi hotspots are not available

My setup looks like this
Pi Zero (2312) to Pi 3b (2312)+(5800) relay to Pi 3B(5800)
AR9271 to (AR9271 + RaLink RT3572L) relay to RaLink RT3572L
Hotspot I turned off. I need only Relay mode.
In the image of EZ 1.6, this setup does not work
