A Mobile Friendly Dashboard for Pi Star
All thanks go to Marshall Dias, this can also be found at www.amateurradio.digital/pistar.php
(disclaimer: this is not my work and I did not develop any of it, please use at your own risk, this addon does NOT require admin rights, should not break the update process)
Here is a handy mobile optimized dashboard for Pi Star installations. This doesn't change the default dashboard or any other operation of your Pi Star. This is simply an add-on. To install or update just follow the instructions below or from Marshall's post.
SSH into your Pi Star installation. Go to your Pi Star dashboard. You'll need to click "Configure" and "Expert" you'll see the expert settings warning screen and on the right under "Tools:" you'll need to click "SSH Access".
Login with the same username and password you use to login to the dashboard and you'll be taken to a terminal session.
Then run these commands
rpi-rw
sudo wget http://w0otm.com/pistar/pi-star.mobile.install.sh
sudo chmod 555 pi-star.mobile.install.sh
sudo ./pi-star.mobile.install.sh
rpi-ro
rpi-ro
Then navigate to pi-star/mobile or ip-address/mobile.
Awesome add on great job... keep on writing add in's like this one
ReplyDeleteIs this just for iPhone ?
ReplyDeleteI've followed it step by step for my galaxy s9 plus but just can't seem to get it to connect...any help would be appreciated Thx.
If you can connect to the regular dashboard this should work. Go to the address for your pi-star dashboard and add /mobile on the end.
DeleteI can get to the windows dashboard just fine but no luck with getting to the mobile dashboard.
ReplyDeleteSystem is a LG G6 with android 8 and using the chrome browser. Message says that site cannot be reached. p-star's server address cannot be found.
I have executed the commands per both AmateurRadioDigital and your commands and neither work. Is there any way to tell if the mobile app is installed?

It's fixed. Used the up address to connect to it.
ReplyDeleteThanks.

What is the "up address"....typo for "IP address"? I haven't learned how to determine the IP of the pi when connected to my Android yet....any ideas?
DeleteAnd redacting the callsigns and other info above seems a bit silly....maybe that's st me...j
Actually I just found an IP scanner app for the Android that will give me what I need....I'll try that next time I start the pi. 73!
DeleteFing is a great app for finding IP addresses. It's in the play store and there's a Linux and probably a Windows version as well.
DeleteIf your HotSpot does have an OLED or Nextion screen attached, this information is shown on them.
DeleteOn OLED, when you PTT, at bottom line..
On Nextion, when Iddle screen on at t3 field.
I know it's almost one year late.. Anyway, I hope it helps.
BTW,
DeleteAs per Marshal's confirmed...
"It is no longer available to the public."
I noticed that the link does not work anymore, does anyone have a copy or a working link to it?
ReplyDeleteI'll have to look into it. I know that site went to a paid subscription for the user database so that might have something to do with it.

DeleteHi, I want to install the mobile dashboard on a new hotspot but I am getting a 404 error when the command "sudo wget http://w0otm.com/pistar/pi-star.mobile.install.sh" i run. Is it still available for download? Thanks a lot.
ReplyDeleteHi Dan
ReplyDeletePlease have you found out anything more about the mobile dashboard? (The instructions above seem to be 'broken' now)
Hi, Having trouble getting the file, I keep getting Error 404 not found, please advise, thank you.
ReplyDeleteI keep getting Error 404 not found, also. My phone is Android Samsung Galaxy S7 ...
ReplyDeletePlease advise, thank you.
Can someone who installed it can provide pi-star.mobile.install.sh file?
ReplyDeleteMy old address shows up on the mobile dashboard how do I change It?
ReplyDeleteI've changed it at the BM website months a go.
Outdated... Can someone provide the install.sh file? Thx.
ReplyDeleteAs per Marshal's confirmed...
ReplyDelete"It is no longer available to the public."
I think installing app is too much trouble on an iPhone and would be a better experience for an iPad. The text editor and windows of the iPhone are clunky and just isn't a very good interphase for typing commands in SSH. At least for these fingers. Make it a downloadable app from Apple and I'll try again. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThis is an obsolete set of instructions. The wget returns a 404 error. You might as well take the page down or note at the top that this used to work. It is a pity.
ReplyDeletetry this. It works for me
ReplyDelete#######setup mobile dashboard on pi-star
rpi-rw

DeleteNot opening /mobile after installing
DeleteGoing off the mobile subject a bit.. I am new to this. Can someone tell me what command I put in to pi _star for home use I have logged in to pistar but cannot get dashboard .
ReplyDeleteI am having trouble connecting to main dash board. But I am loging in to the expert editor page like the one above tried everything from another windows 10 laptop scanned for the ip address tried it. But all I am getting is. Having trouble conecting
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I boot up hot spot. The only page I get is the expert pi_star log in prompt. Please help.. Been struggling with this for ages.
ReplyDeleteModifying the system.php and the index.php files in the /var/www/dashboard/mobile directory and exchange the split() with explode() makes everything work in the PHP 7.x version that is installed with pi-star V4.1.4_03 version that I am using.
ReplyDeleteAlso, update admin.php, active_reflector_links.php, settings.php and css_connections.php to exchange the split() with explode()
ReplyDeleteadd a "/" to bm_manager.php and bm_links.php after the "include_once $_server['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].' " for each of the for include_once lines at the top of each file.
