Ok, so just done the update, and done nothing else, when now open GPS it has a fix, and showing Warsaw on map, yet I have no GPS installed yet....

Its virtual GPS and the software at the end of the branch doesn't know it - it thinks it came from a GPS device

Yes, point taken, but I would think Radek would want it to work correctly ... 😀

[stash_old]

More to the point it does effect times and slewing.

Just stopped my GPS and start Virtual again and It get 0 on the GPS info - all the other places - i.e. bottom are correct - even if they are in DMS not DD format and arn't showing N or W etc  😈 

Is anyone else getting lots of disconnects after the update when using NOVNC - ok on REALVNC client !

[WanderingEye]

It was a bug, Radek just informed me... 😀

Well I was then it all goes blank at the bottom , map disappears and I am back in Warsaw Poland after reload frame. So maybe it was left over from when the real GPS had been running !

Has anyone noticed the date under UTC time as well 2019-11-01 should this not be 2019-12-01?

Bit of a change of direction, but does anyone know if there is a file in ekos I can swap to a new set up to give me all my previous profiles and scope info I had already got programmed in...? To put on new system...it’s annoying having to start all again when you re flash a new card...

having looked at Robert's backup routine you need

cp ~/.config/kstarsrc "$backupFolderName/kstarsrc"

cp -r ~/.local/share/kstars "$backupFolderName/kstarsData"

cp -r ~/.indi "$backupFolderName/INDIConfig"

 

the first located in /home/astroberry/.config and then file kstarsrc

the second in /home/astroberry/.local/share/kstars

the third in /home/astroberry/.indi

have a look at https://github.com/rlancaste/AstroPi3/blob/master/backupOrRestore.sh

All of these already fixed (negative lat/lon and month being -1 from actual). BTW it is really bizzare that javascript function getUTCMonth() returns values: January is 0, February is 1, and so on... I would never come up with such idea myself 

You can update & upgrade now (run: sudo apt clean && sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade)

Both virtualgps and astroberry-server-wui should be upgraded. If one of them is not available for upgrade do reinstall (run: sudo apt clean && sudo apt update && sudo apt reinstall virtualgps astroberry-server-wui)

Ah good - but is it MQTT for it all ? mine is including GPS data nicked from your virtual set up lol  Never bother with the weather look out the window and check cloud/rainfall radar - Weather forecast are rubbish for UK - too complicated micro climates I guess

Yes it is, custom weather station hardware -> BLE -> MQTT server -> Grafana

Any ways - thanks for your hard work Radek - might come round and buy you a beer or a cherry vodka next year - might be going to Katawice. See the "homeland" LOL

I'm based in Warsaw (~200 miles away) but sure let me know when you're here. I will be in London in January.
