DroidStar project on git hub go here.


To start the process of using DroidStar you have to have an amateur radio license and register at https://www.radioid.net/account/register#! to obtain a DMR ID.


After that is finished and you obtain your DMR identification number from http://radioid.net, go to https://brandmeister.network/ and register.
Register: https://brandmeister.network/?page=register
Then go back to https://www.radioid.net/account/dashboard#! and use the "BM Integration" button to send information to Brandmeister Network.  I cannot redo this to verify because I already have done it, so if you receive instructions from Brandmeister, follow those instead.

Go to http://tgif.network/ and register as well.

READ THIS IT'S IMPORTANT!
The thing that fouls most people up on DroidStar is that the TGIF Pass setting isn't the http://tgif.network/ site password, it is the "hotspot security key" that you have to use, even if your not using a hotspot.  You can find this by going to http://tgif.network/ and logging in with your call sign (not your email address) and your site password, then at the top right hand side you will see your call sign, click on that callsign, and select "user security", then you will see a screen with your DMR ID and your Hotspot Security Key (If you don't see a Hotspot Security Key, click the GREEN button with the clockwise pointing arrows), copy the Hotspot Security Key using the BLUE button, then return to Droid Star, and under Settings tab, go to TGIF Pass  (I know it's the wrong name, but that's the way the software was written) and paste your Hotspot Security Key into the TGIF password field.  

While your on http://tgif.network/ open up your http://qrz.com/ page, and under the Detail tab, find your latitude and longitude, in the Western Hemisphere north of the equator, the latitude is a positive number and the longitude is a negative number.  Enter that information along with your location into the Droid Star Settings tab.

Once you enter the TGIF Hotspot Security Key into the TGIF pass field, it might disappear but it will be written into your settings on DroidStar.
