MMDVMHost not show connection in dashboard

[picchiosat]

After the last MMDVMHost cleanup in the SimplyDMR branch the connection no longer appears in the dashboard. Looking at the MMDVMHost log no longer displays the connection string with DMRGateway

Hi Roby DMR is now the same as the other modes, there is no connection between the host and the gateway, in the same way that there is no connection between the host and the YSF Gateway. It is a case that people who write dashbards need to update their software. Jonathan  G4KLX

You're right and I hadn't thought about it ... I take this opportunity to ask what is the [Trasparent Data] section in MMDVM.ini?

I don't know! It was added by someone else, so I'm not sure. I think it is for some special hardware. You'll have to trace it through, and then tell me. Jonathan  G4KLX

I take this opportunity to ask what is the [Trasparent Data] section in MMDVM.ini?

The transparent data section is used to communicate with the Nextion Driver, it was implemented by @on7lds.

The following is from the Nextion Driver README-modemdisplays.md documentation:

In the MMDVM.ini file, you must enable 'Transparent Data' and it's option 'SendFrameType', i.e. :

[Transparent Data]
Enable=1
RemoteAddress=127.0.0.1
RemotePort=40094
LocalPort=40095
SendFrameType=1

Then you can instruct NextionDriver to use the Transparent Data to connect to the display. This is done by setting the 'Port' >option in the NextionDriver section of MMDVM.ini to 'modem'

[NextionDriver]
Port=modem

Data from the Nextion (when pressing buttons) will be treated similar and will exit MMDVMHost as transparent data. >IMPORTANT : the firmware of the modem has to pass data from the display to MMDVMHost for this to work!
