Hi Larry, I would suggest you flash a new micro SD card following these directions: https://github.com/alanbjohnston/CubeSatSim/wiki/2.-Software-Install#disk-image-option-steps You will need to set your CALLSIGN again. If that doesn't work, paste the results of these commands:

Great! Remember that for FM modes such as CW, SSTV, and APRS, the CubeSatSim can only receive command and control messages when it is not transmitting. For CW, there is a short break every 6 numbers. For SSTV, only between images. |

I'm in the process of upgrading my beta cubesat to 2.0. I have the hardware part finished and decided to build a new SD card from scratch. I followed the instructions in the wiki and used this command line to clone the new software: git clone http://github.com/alanbjohnston/CubeSatSim.git. I don't see any version change info. This was followed by the install command and it installed without errors.
Problems: 1. It doesn't send my callsign even though it shows in the config command. 2. BPSK doesn't decode like normal in FoxTelem, 3. No command and control. Below, I'll paste in some of the logfile from log -c:

Note that the cubesat boots up with Command and Control on. This logfile show this error repeating constantly until I use config to turn off command and control. Once turned off, the logfile shows that, i.e., no errors.
My questions: How do I know for sure what version software I'm using? I'm guessing its version 2.0 because of the change I see in the config commands. Should I rebuild the SD card by reinstalling the software? Can I reinstall over the top of the existing code?
I should add that FSK telemetry works 100%
Thank you for any help.
73, Larry W7DGP
