The topic was using his Rpi with FLdigi and other programs and he mentioned RMS express is not available on the RPi. Of course he can use a laptop/ PC for it all but if your Rpi is the computer wired to your radio you can leave it that way, run direwolf on the Rpi and use whatever KISS or AGWE compatible program from any PC or laptop. Heck even remotely if you wish it.?

Walter have you tried dire wolf on the Rpi? You would still need to run RMS express on the laptop but you can connect to the RPI as a TNC modem using KISS. That’s how my winlink set up works at the moment

Curious how many folks are running FLDigi on Ras-Pi because that's what I'm working to integrate into a field-portable station with my uBitX right now.

I have a Pi3 that runs Fldigi with no problems.? However RMS Express will not run on a Pi.? So I abandoned the Pi3 for a laptop.? My laptop, running Win 7 will run indefinitely on my solar system with the no RMI problems charger I built for charging the laptop.? Since I have solar setup for both my QTH and my Mobile I have a reliable portable solution for both situations. Plus I'm not real good at Linux programming and have been frustrated with three different books I purchased to learn the protocol.? It was hard just getting Flamp loaded and running due to my lack of knowledge in Raspbian or Linux.? So Windows is far easier to load up software and the frequent updates that come with Fldigi, Flmsg, and Flamp. -- 73, W9KJO Walter

After sorting my issues out I started building a case and run into the next problem.
Out of the 3 3.5mm jack I was able to only turn the nut on 1 of them. Barrel isn't very long. Am using double sided copper clad pcb.
So guess have to either modify the cabinet on the inside (to make it thinner) or look for different jacks.

Not much reply. Would also like to know for a Baofeng mike that I want to use.

Re: Jerry Solved the puzzle!
O... THANK You!
I read the official
Arduino site stuff but never saw it anywhere.? Every internet
link said Analog ports
can be used just like
digital.? I did learn the Numbering scheme, I never saw that
before?
And to really confuse
me, it works on the old Mega, well, because it is a different
part!
I spent about 4 hours
testing new and old Nanos.? I ripped open brand new package.
What a crazy morning!
Thanks Mucho!!

that's on the Nano, pins A6 and A7 are analog inputs only.
The other analog pins can be used as digital pins.
Takes a pretty thorough read of the datasheet to figure that out.

Re: uBit Crazy Software Problem
Simple problem and I am stumped!
I wrote some test sketches to test the Analog Pins that are on the 8 Pin molex? called "Controls" on uBit.
Well on all 5 Nanos I have here, A6 and A7 don't want to flip. A really puzzling thing is I have an old Mega 2560 (the one with the old USB squarish plug), and its
A6 and A7 will toggle?
I learned one good thing in hours of fussing around.? I did NOT know you can use a Pin name in the sketch without "A" in front of it.
They simply call the ports up from the last digital pin (13), So A0 you can call 14!!!? WOW, never knew that.
What is it good for???? You can use for statements to increment a counter (i) to initialize and address these pins.? You don't have to put A in there.
Please Help Me, I am going nuts!
Mike, WA6ISP
Here is a test of A0 - A7,? MY A6 & A7 won't toggle on my Nanos?
//
// Test A0 - A7
byte i = 0;
void setup()? {
for (int i=14; i<22; i++)? {
?? pinMode(i, OUTPUT);
?? digitalWrite(i, HIGH);
}
}
void loop() {
? for (int i=14; i<22; i++) {
? digitalWrite(i, LOW);
? delay(100);
? digitalWrite(i, HIGH);
? delay(100);
? }
}

Re: TDA2822 ill treatment test! Photo of blown TDA
Wouldn't you have to insulate the jack frame from ground?
That would be a return path from either the tip or ring to ground through the headphone transducer.

Re: TDA2822 ill treatment test! Photo of blown TDA
Didn't have it on long enough to transmit. Turned on, saw the number on the DVM, turned off and said some unrepeatable things.

Something like smoke and flames where Q13 and R141 used to be on your
Bitx40.
Just in case others decide to replicate your experiment.
Not a good idea to run these rigs with much more than 12v.
(Finals are fine to 24v if you give them an adequate heatsink.)

You are correct, Clark.? This needs to be said loudly to any who might plug a TS connector into TRS jack, much like there are warnings about connecting power supply voltages backwards. A little experiment was conducted:? My ?B has an FCI TDA and a regulated 12V power supply.? When there is a dead short at the phones jack and the volume all the way up, the TDA gets too hot to touch (~130°F/55°C for me) within a few seconds.? With the volume turned to ?, I can hold my finger on the TDA for at least 30 seconds without any noticeable temperature rise. This is only one data point, but it suggests that FCI TDA is robust against shorting at ? volume for some time. If I had a few more of them and a socket, I would intentionally drive one to failure just to see what happens.
