Andromeda Initial Observations

Hi Scott,

I have tried to connect it to a 10" HDMI monitor, but no luck getting any display.
The adaptor works with a USB stick.

Found another little glitch in the Andromeda hardware.

When in RXA I pushed "Lock" and the LED correctly lights up.
When I switch to RXB the light stays on. The display shows the correct state of lock in both receivers.
Pushing the Lock button while in RXB turns the Lock on in RXB and the LED stays lit.
Pushing the Lock button again turns the light off and the display is correct.
Now switching back to RXA (which is still locked), but the LED remains dim.
Pushing Lock again removes the lock indication from the display and the LED remains dim.

Small issue, I know, but I still want to report it.

Thanks, Erik.

I suppose that shouldn't really be a problem since people who buy an Andromeda want the look and feel of a "normal" radio, but now that's two reports of that feature not working.

That's almost certainly the Andromeda interface code in Thetis rather than hardware, but I'll investigate.

It's not a permissions problem, it's a knowledge one!

The source code that I have is 2.9.0.6 + 12 further commits. I don't know how to use git to undo those 12 commits. Otherwise yes I could make a change. I've never claimed to be a programmer.

Perhaps late now, but in case you find yourself in similar situation... (and yes, Scott, not in topic with the main thread so feel free to remove or let me know and I can do same)
