i can not login in a Wifi with SSID H&H3

[pa0slt]

Hi folks, i do use a redpitaya with pavel Alpine software for WSPR

the Wifi network has a SSID : H&H3

i do login to the redpitaya with PUTTY
i give then the command: wpa_passphrase H&H3 henk5 > /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

then i get: -ash: H3 not found

so I think the & character is forbidden.....

i may not change the SSID of that network.

So, how can i solve this problem?

Hi Wim,
thank you for your question.
Pavel Demin is a person independent of Red Pitaya team, that developed an operating system that works with the Red Pitaya board.
This can happen because we provide the hardware and our own software, and because it is an open source platform, third parties like Pavel Demin can also make applications.
For these third parties we cannot actually provide support.

We kindly suggest you to contact Pavel with this topic.

One of the following commands should do the job:

Code: Select all

wpa_passphrase 'H&H3' henk5
wpa_passphrase H\&H3 henk5

Hi Pavel,
Thanks for your reply.
I tried 'H&H3' and it worked nice, i believe.
it was written in de wpa_supplicant.conf file.
So it looks good.

tomorow i go to the location where H&H3 is active.
So hoping it will work.

i do use it for a remote WSPR receiving station ( PA0SLT/A) at 90 Km from my house.
anyhow,, you made a very nice program/system for the redpitaya,
it is very nice to have 8 whisper receivers now at one location which i
can use for all my experiments. Thank you very much!!!

Yours

Pavel,
thank you very much again for your info.

'H&H3' is working OK, the redpitaya is running like a charm now!

So, problem solved.
