RTKBase: a GUI for your own Gnss Base Station

You asked Stefal but surely you are not after instructions to use the “Check update” button at the RTKBase settings page. Can you clarify?

Did you try to cancel and retry? I remember I faced a similar issue recently but the update completed successfully after another attempt. Not sure if I rebooted the base first.

I’m


I’ve got this issue as well.

New build not an update. Can somebody tell me what I need to do to resolve this?

Let’s me enter a username but upon trying to enter password it doesn’t let me type at all.

I’ve seen previous comments about SSH and opening terminals but I’m not clear on what that means.

How do you know it does not allow you to enter password? The password is not shown while you type it. Remember the keyboard is French by default, quite often you are not getting the characters you expect and login fails.

Looks like maybe an operating system update corrupted a file. Login is succeeding but the shell cannot run because the ld.so.preload contains a bad line. Are you booting of an SD card? If so it might be possible to mount that on a Linux computer and delete the bad preload file.

Not sure why but it’s seems to be a common problem on the pi. Might be fixable via ssh. Raspberry pi, libarmmem.so (cannot open shared object file) error - Stack Overflow

Just use a pc or a phone connected to the same modem as base is, open web browser and find what adress base is, for me it was 192.168.1.6 first time but after some updateing it changed to 192.168.1.8
When the page loads it will ask for password and just enter “admin” as password.

Have been having a few issues with my esp32 based base which after running fine for a few years has become very unreliable so thought I’d give RTKBase on RPi a go but have run into a problem from the off. I’ve downloaded the image from GitHub (see screenshot) and flashed it to SD with etcher but nothing happens when RPi is started with SD inserted. Also going through various tutorial I can’t find the config file wpa_supplicant.conf on SD card to update WiFi details. Can anyone offer any pointers? Thanks in advance

I was not aware of that. I would have expected the enter key to still have an effect though. Thanks,
I’ll give it a try again tomorrow.

I downloaded an old version and copy/pasted it in

Try the images linked from the RTKBase authors Github instead of Centipede Github.

Or you can try this version of RTKBase. The PDF documentation walks you through using Pi Imager to set Wifi and OS user password.

perhaps ive got it all completely wrong but the ready to flash iso image link in the stefal/rtkbase github leads to the centipede github. like i said, ive flashed that to an sd but nothing happens when i plug the raspberry pi in. maybe its a dud?

These two links lead to Stefals and Jancelin’s repos for me.

ive ordered another RPi. Pretty sure ive followed the tutorial correctly so will have another go when that comes.

Did you try one of the stock Pi images in the Pi imager? If one of those works, it is not the Pi.

tried it and still nothing

up and running with new Rpi3!

Hello,
Debian 11 my OS
I wanted to update RTKBase, it was 2.5.0, I pressed update and it said that version 2.6.0 is the latest. OK, I accepted, after a few minutes the web page disappeared, and then the software did not start. I tried to idle it for a couple of minutes, but it won’t start. Something?

Best regards !

I had same, had to reinstall rtkbase - gevent hadn’t installed/updated.

Try running

sudo ~/rtkbase/tools/install.sh --dependencies

then

sudo ~/rtkbase/tools/install.sh --rtkbase-requirements

And post any errors

finally managed to get mine running by installing an old version. Tried updating from the router but its been sitting on this screen for a long time.

Anyone know if it’s stalled?

Edit: yep, it stalled. Took a few minutes and then did nothing
