[arm-allstar] Yellow Box & Iphone

[Doug Crompton]

Ron,

  Well this does not have anything to do with it being a yellow box as the
SW is the same as any other hotspot/hamvoip system. If the Pi is setup with
the SSID and passphrase for the hotspot it should connect. I have rarely
seen one that would not connect assuming everything was set correctly.
There should be nothing in the phone you need to set other than turning on
the hotspot. The phone should be turned on and in hotspot mode first. Then
boot the Pi.  It should give an IP address. If you have more than one SSID
stored in the Pi make sure only the one you want is online otherwise it
could connect to one you don't want. You could try deleting the
wpa_supplicant file and adding the phone hotspot back in.

One question though is your description of "accepting the hotspot"  does
this mean you are not getting an IP address announcement or you get it and
then cannot connect?
