1. Open the frequency manager
2. Select a database
3. Add new item
4. Tab save
5. Item is added to ACARS file

Expected behavior
New item must be written to the selected database

Affected versions
Please write any difference related with the Expected behavior, on the following versions:

• Latest Stable Release
• Probably any

Additional
I only tested this once.

The speaker icon in the status-bar on top of the screen is optional, mainly for H1 Portapack users who installed an internal speaker. You can toggle its presence from OPTIONS -> INTERFACE

When pressed, you mute (icon greyed out) or activate the speaker amp (icon green).

Whilst this is happening ,the headphones output has a bug: Please get into receivers-> audio and tune an FM radio

1. At first, status-bar speaker is greyed out and everything works as expected: Audio will go thru the headphones. OK

2. Then you turn on the speaker (Green), it sounds BOTH on headphones AND speaker (two amps powered up!) NOT SO GOOD ... Actually, I think I read that particularly on H2 Portapack the screen goes dim, as there is some power issue!

3. Then you turn off the speaker (grey it out) and sound gets shut off from BOTH the speaker AND headphones. (BAD!)

The speaker mute / unmute is not working in harmony with the rest of the system.

For H2 users this may not be a concern, since they wouldn't even place it on the STATUS-BAR for a start. But for the rest of us, this needs to be solved!

... Which I think I did: I will place a PR, shortly.

Including details about the main parts of the firmware:

• Persistent Memory
• UI flow (switching screens)
• Compilation
• Tools (scripts and small tools to create bitmaps, etc)
• Widgets
• Top toolbar

Finally, some guides are necessary for helping newcomers:

• Create a simple graphical app
• Create a complex app (with some custom demodulation)

Hi,
I am experiencing weird issue.
If I try to open capture, I get a screen freeze...

If I open audio reciever first, and then capture, it does work...

If I open audio reciever, then capture, and then, again aidio reciever, I get a freeze on audio reciever.

Can you confirm this is not something you are also experiencing?

Describe the bug
In all of the transmit modes I tried in FW v1.0.3 on my PortaPack H1, the screen backlight turns off when transmission starts.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to any transmit mode
2. Tap on Start
3. Screen turns off
4. Screen turns back on when any physical key is pressed. No response to touch screen taps.

Expected behavior
Transmission start/stop does not turn screen off.

Rfcontroljs

protocol support for different 433mhz switches and weather stations for the RFControl Arduino library.

I think this module was included in some havoc versions

Describe the solution you'd like
Maybe there is some protocol already working. Like this one on Oregon products http://wmrx00.sourceforge.net/Arduino/OregonScientific-RF-Protocols.pdf

Hi,

I use combination of HackRF One and Portapack H2. Flashed your firmware and noticed that reception of local FM stations improves a lot when I turn off the screen of my portapack. With the screen on audio is barely audible and sinks in noise. On the other bands situation is better, but not much.

Could you please check if you have these issues too and probably fix them somehow?

BR,

Alex.

Describe the bug
Entering a sub-menu item and returning to the sub-menu differs whether you use the jog wheel or click on the button manually

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open a menu with a sub-menu such as Debug using the jog wheel.
2. Open an item on the sub-menu such as Temperature
3. Return to the Debug menu by clicking Done

• Note at this point that you are back in the Debug menu with Temperature highlighted.

4. Exit the Debug menu.
   Instead of the jog wheel, this time use the touchscreen:
5. Press on Debug
6. Press on Temperature.
7. Press on Done to return to the Debug menu.

• Note at this point that you are back in the Debug menu with Memory highlighted.

Expected behavior
5 to 7 above should have the same result as 1 to 3 - Temperature should be highlighted.
Pressing on a button should tell the main UI the selection has changed as if the jog wheel moved.

Affected versions
All since button menus were introduced, as far as I can tell this has never been noticed previously.

Additional

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
My intention is to prettify the source code, remove excess indents and ensure brackets are aligned correctly.

Describe the solution you'd like
I will go through each .cpp/.hpp file using astyle and then by hand to ensure that there are no lines with just tabs, or lines with tabs at the end.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I have considered not doing this but I keep seeing little things that bug me :p

Additional
I would use astyle with the following options:
astyle -A1 -t -N -C -Y -p -xf filename

Possible issues
While doing this action no work should be done on the repositories and they should all be synced beforehand and then immediately afterwards so any merge requests made afterwards will not fail.

Timescale
I envisage this taking no more than 30 minutes which would include pushing my changed files back to github.

Screen sensitivity should be increased, and calibration tool seems inaccurate. Buttons especially in the corners don't feel as reactive as they should be.

Eried, I am new to docker too and I cannot understand if this error (or lack of progress in the compilation) is mine, or there is something funny going on with the docker image.

Up until a couple of hours ago, issuing the command:

Whould compile everything and give me the ready to upload portapack-h1_h2-mayhem.bin

ADS-B world map now looks really fine. Thanks!

There is a small problem in the UI of the ICAO table:
If there are several entries (nearby planes) with some of them getting out of reach, then there are "empty" entries between still active entries.
If the cursor is positioned over an active entry at the end of the list, then it is not possible to move the cursor up jumping over inactive entries.
In this situation it is also impossible to get out of the app with <-, because the cursor can't reach the title line.

Additional improvement question: is it possible to decode the track/heading infos and turn the plane symbol on the map to that direction?

Original question from Havoc ticket #363
alain00091 commented on 20 May

Is it possible to add a new demodulation to the scanner

1 maybe create 2 files "SCANNER_AM" and "SCANNER_NFM" and select which one we want to scan or

2 in the SCANNER file add at the end add the demodulation method like AM.NFM.SSB,, etc ... or
3 when we start the scanner ask which demodulation to use

1.he updated pocsag ,now you can choose p or n phase
2. add speaker control ,but h2 version will hotter hotter than h1
can you merge into one project to keep everyone using the latest and most complete firmware.

When I go (using the Mayhem firmware, of course) to

Settings--> Radio
and click on

"Turn Bias Voltage = ON"
I don't seem to get any bias voltage on the RF output of the HackRF.
Also, if I go to (for example) Receivers--> Audio and start listening, I don't get any bias voltage.

Furthermore, when I reset the hackrf, the setting "Turn Bias Voltage ON" is forgotten, and the unit always restarts with

"Turn Bias Voltage = OFF"

In other words, for me the Bias Voltage funcitonality doesn't seem to work at all.

Thanks for the new entries in the wiki @gerryk! very helpful

I think it should sound more like an "user manual" than a blog post in particular in the header of this:
https://github.com/eried/portapack-mayhem/wiki/Intended-Use-and-Legality

What do you think? or what other people suggest?

i.e.:
"This is not intended to be legal info--"

I know other sections sound like a blog post still but they also need to be rewrited (the intro I wrote, or the "how to install",etc)

ps: I like also how you are using the graphics, consider that you can upload any image to the wiki, just using normal GitHub desktop

I have a Portapack H1 and a found two problems.

1. When I capture something and leave the capture mode without stopping capture, the HackRF locks up. I am stuck with a capture screen and a 0B file. I have to hit the reset button.

2. When going to transmit-OOK, I can set the type with the rotary. When rotating to "12E" I can go back again. When rotating from "12E" one to the right the Portapack hangs up. I cannot go back I have to hit the reset button.

You should make survival mode / covid-19 mode
Maybe different modes with different menus:

Covid-19 mode ( where you can send and receive information )
Earthquake mode
Tsunami mode

Hack Mode / Social Enginere Mode

Im just thinking outloud..

I was taking a peek into #48 when I realized that the length returned by the antenna length calculator is off ... sometimes way off!

i.e.: Consider an antenna for frequency = 2400Mhz (2.400.000 hz)

(as used in ui_whipcalc) metric: Speed of light: 299792458 m/s

speed / frequency = 0,1249m (12,49cm full wave) or 3,1cm quarter wave

In this case, the metric result is ok but in imperial it is wrong:

Full wave: If I convert 12,49cm into inches, google brings me: 4.91 inches but antenna length calc gives 4.0in ! On Quarter Wave: metric 3.1cm to inches is about 1.22in ... but whip calc gives 1.0in

If you chech the antenna length calculator against lower frequencies, like 433mhz or 315mhz, the error margin grows even more.

There is a flaw in the way a function inside ui_whipcalc (to_string_dec_int()) returns the value of a number as a string: Decimals are not rounded up which seems to end up returning values which are way off.

This function is used in another parts of the code !

Now I am focusing on fixing the Antenna calculator (as a start).

I propose an ANT700 elements calc line under the existing ANT500 elements line in the Tools/Utilities > Antenna length/Whip calculator.

I keep an ANT700 antenna in my PortaPack storage case, because its much more compact and easier to store than my ANT500 when on the go.

Please, consider implementing AM (DSB-AM) and SSB (USB, LSB) transmitters with microphone support into PortaPack Mayhem.

Are you having problem where, while you scroll, it happens that encoders sometimes go wrong direction?

https://imgur.com/a/vY2sXjT

What is happening?
Describe here why you are unable to upgrade the firmware. Win 10 user. Regardless of the standard installer or DFU mode...neither can identify that the hackRF is actually connected to the PC...which is strange because not only does the device manager see it...the hack RF interfaces with SDR software perfectly. Ive even run the Zadig driver tool and rolled back the driver.

Were you able to update the firmware before?
I could upgrade from the vanilla porta pack to Havoc with no issue.

Can you try the upgrade with a different PC/Portapack/HackRF?
I've tried five different cables...all of which could interface with Sharp/SDRConsole with no issues. I will try a completely different PC later.

Ive also tried 4 different USB ports. The SDR software can see the Hack RF...but the .bin somehow can not. Although the DFU method was able to connect...it only transferred 25k bytes and closed.

Could it be possible to implement a gsm scanner for bts signals (like what the grgsm_scanner from the gs gsm suite, does) to get a list of all BTS stations available. It would be nice if it could work for generations from 1G to 4G LTE.
What this app should do is to show a list (ordered by tx channel) of all the transmitting BTS in the current zone.

Hello, I have looked everywhere I can think of, but have been unable to find an answer as to how I can download the currently installed fireware from the portapack. I want to make a backup before flashing the mayhem firmware, in case I want to revert for whatever reason.

Describe the bug

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Create a custom splash screen bmp_splash.bmp and convert it to .hpp using xxd

Expected behavior
The file should be drop in compatible with the code

Actual behaviour
The filename and the output file have the same name but the source code expects a different name. In this case the source is wrong and needs amending to prevent confusion.

Affected versions
All

Additional
The fix would be changing firmware/application/ui_navigation.cpp:
portapack::display.drawBMP({(240 - 230) / 2, (320 - 50) / 2 - 10}, splash_bmp, false);
to
portapack::display.drawBMP({0, 0}, bmp_splash, false);
and
#include "bmp_splash.hpp"
to
#include "splash.hpp"

I have changed the position code as my guide specifies a resolution (240x304). It may be worth amending at a later point to check the resolution and automatically centre the image [x = 120 - (bmp_width / 2), y = 160 - (bmp_height / 2)]

But, I think it is not ? I am peeking at:

https://github.com/mossmann/hackrf/commits/master

And I can see, for example, on the last commit, that hackrf_usb.c file is substantially different in there, compared against our repositories. Is this OK ?

Hello!,

I am trying to turn-off the screen/display while in HackRF Mode(ie. when connected to a PC). I have the older HackRFOne (H1) model. The screen turn-off/timeout function works flawlessly inside Mayhem UI, though. I have had issues with Portapack screens earlier and would like to turn the screen off, when using SDR software on my PC.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Describe the bug
White icons disappear when the jog wheel is used to navigate the menu system

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Go to Debug menu
2. Move the scroll wheel to highlight different options such as Memory, SD Card
3. Notice the icon on the currently selected item disappears

Expected behaviour
The icon should still be present.

Additional
This only happens where the icon is purely white with no other colours. Other menus have coloured icons which do not show this behaviour.

Suggested fix
Change icons to something other than white, or invert the icon colours on rollover. This is already the case with the menu item text which changes from white to black when selected.

Hi I just wanted to know if there was a way to make a custom splash image and what tools I would need.

Hi, thanks a lot for starting this project.
I am very excited to be able to interact directly with the developers :)

I have just installed the Mayhem firmware.
I have also produced a short video to help others with the installation process in Linux:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iZrGkfJN9o

As you can see at the end of the video (around min 9:00), I get a 10Mhz signal coming out of the CLKIN port, and I get nothing coming out of the CLKOUT port.

Is this a bug? It would be supergreat if we could have both:

• the possibility of using an external 10mhz clock reference (going to CLKIN), and
• also output the hackrf internal clock (from CLKOUT).

Thanks again. I am looking forward the announcement of a chat-room to discuss live with you guys.

Hello Eried,
I made 3 new scanners entries in navigation menu ( AM(dsb,usb,lsb), NFM and WFM) with 3 differents default files : SCANNER_AM, SCANNER_FM and SCANNER_NFM.
I have to test it again with your new code (1.0.3) in about 2/3 days
I added also a step entry in the files (for each RANGE) for am,fm, and nfm depending about the country (US/EUROPE) + default step if there is no step
I spend a lot of time to fix/make improvement in freqman.cpp : no check about maximum frequency supported by hackrf_one, frequency a: but not b:, frequency b; but not a:,b: frequency b: lower than a;,...

If you or someone else can give me default frequencies for AM/NFM when the files SCANNER_AM/SCANNER_NFM doesn't exists I will appreciate, it is also depending about the country,

Describe the bug
I cannot find the Frequency Calibration Menu for the HackRF One.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

I placed this as a reminder to try every app under the transmitters menu and evaluate whenever it can be transmitting while user may go back into the menu, making the app to freeze down.

GPS Sim is one of those.

Maybe adding a close override on each of those apps and then shutting down radio TX before leaving, should fix it, just as was done with Replay option on main menu.
