I am sorry if I disparaged the BM servers or the people that keep them up and I deeply apologize for that.
I have had some issues with different BM servers not talking to each other sometimes and it segments my network when that happens.
I understand that can happen occasionally since the BM servers are carrying so much traffic and doing so many things.
I was looking for a way to just connect our cluster together on one small server for ultra reliability. If there is such a thing, since we are talking about internet connections (ahem.. Cable companies. lol)
Anyway, I really appreciate EVERYTHING you guys have done and I am a huge proponent of BM. I believe in open networks that bring modes and people together instead of segmenting them.
Again, I sincerely apologize for saying anything negative about the work you guys do.

They’re my software. As in I’m the copyright holder. It can all be gone in 1 minute. Note HBMonitor is now deleted.
Hey bro, I just joined this group, and I just learned about HBlink 2 days ago. Relax and come correct. For real. FOR THE LAST GODDAMN TIME HBMONITOR IS COMPLETELY UNSUPPORTED. THE REPO IS BEING PULLED. DONE. GONE.
Thank you for the quick reply. I don’t think they reverse engineered the Wires X protocol, but I could be wrong. It works well for the most part, but sometimes the BM connection to our node computer drops in and out and causes disruptions for the people coming in from DMR HotSpots. The HBlink instance that I have running on my home computer has been running flawlessly for the past 2 days I have it up. The private network is nice to rag chew, but it would be great if we can connect to our node the same way BM does so we have our own gateway for HotSpot users to connect. I just saw this as a “better” way for us to manage the link between the DMR users and our Fusion system. I worked with Corey Dean to get our TG linked and all he asked me for was the public IP address of our Wires X node computer, our Wires X room name, and room number. He did not link directly to Yaesu’s Wires X server in Japan, he links directly with our node computer. Once BM links with our node, a call sign shows up as connected to our Wires X room as if it was another user or node connecting to us. Here is what Brandmeister published on how they are linking to Wires X. I am just having a hard time reading into the code. Not sure if this makes any sense to you. Is there any other way to link DMR to Fusion with our own server besides going through Brandmeister? Maybe there is another way. I will keep hope alive lol. Also is there any good resource which goes into detail on all the functions of HBlink and how to set up the dashboard. I am struggling with that too. I have Apache2 and PHP running and working, but I do not understand what I need to do with the code on the Github site. I knew nothing about this stuff 3 days ago, and now I’m running a Linux server, so hopefully with ,kore time I start to understand this stuff more. Thank you again for any help you can provide and for the reply. Martin,
I am sorry to report that we have no method of connecting to WiresX. Since Yaesu does not publish the protocol it would have to be reverse engineered. I believe that is how BM did it.

The HBlink instance that I have running on my home computer has been running flawlessly for the past 2 days I have it up. The private network is nice to rag chew, but it would be great if we can connect to our node the same way BM does so we have our own gateway for HotSpot users to connect. I just saw this as a “better” way for us to manage the link between the DMR users and our Fusion system. I worked with Corey Dean to get our TG linked and all he asked me for was the public IP address of our Wires X node computer, our Wires X room name, and room number. He did not link directly to Yaesu’s Wires X server in Japan, he links directly with our node computer. Once BM links with our node, a call sign shows up as connected to our Wires X room as if it was another user or node connecting to us. Here is what Brandmeister published on how they are linking to Wires X. I am just having a hard time reading into the code. Not sure if this makes any sense to you. Is there any other way to link DMR to Fusion with our own server besides going through Brandmeister? Maybe there is another way. I will keep hope alive lol. Also is there any good resource which goes into detail on all the functions of HBlink and how to set up the dashboard. I am struggling with that too. I have Apache2 and PHP running and working, but I do not understand what I need to do with the code on the Github site. I knew nothing about this stuff 3 days ago, and now I’m running a Linux server, so hopefully with ,kore time I start to understand this stuff more. Thank you again for any help you can provide and for the reply. Martin W2MPR Martin,
I am sorry to report that we have no method of connecting to WiresX. Since Yaesu does not publish the protocol it would have to be reverse engineered. I believe that is how BM did it.

Re: HBlink to Wires X Node
Steve, Thank you for the quick reply. I don’t think they reverse engineered the Wires X protocol, but I could be wrong. It works well for the most part, but sometimes the BM connection to our node computer drops in and out and causes disruptions for the people coming in from DMR HotSpots. The HBlink instance that I have running on my home computer has been running flawlessly for the past 2 days I have it up. The private network is nice to rag chew, but it would be great if we can connect to our node the same way BM does so we have our own gateway for HotSpot users to connect.

No changes to hblink to accommodate hbmonitor accepted without prior approval. Hbmonitor is pretty much anything you want to do, as long as it remains standalone. On Oct 26, 2018, at 2:06 PM, James (Jay) Lee - KJ7BKP - Bothell < jayz28@...> wrote:

Any help to develop hbmonitor?
Any person from this group that can help develop the hbmonitor?
Add for example functions:
Show Active Dynamic Talkgroups and the remaining time.
Show in real time indicative, Slot and TG that is talking.
Cheer up.

Nope. Nowhere near ready to use. You’ll know it’s ready to use when you see the openbridge branch merged into the master.
I will answer no questions about implementing openbridge until then.
So is OpenBridge stable and ready to use at this point? I have been using HBLink for the Brandmeister connection on my analog bridge since the first of the year with great success and was going to use it for our next project. Is this now the recommended way to make Brandmeister connections? How does one request this from the BM folks?
Thanks,
Ed W8VT

Ed,
OpenBridge is still a work in progress. There is still work to do
and then testing. No time frame available. Stick with waht you
have for now.
