Re: GPS / winlink issue with 73linux & bookworm 64 bit
|
OK I'm stuck. I can't figure out what I am missing. To recap, cgps works fine, but Pat doesn't save my grid. When I select Manage Winlink and select Get Grid from GPS, it correctly sees the GPS and reports my grid - its grayed out, but its there. This is what I have done so far:
When the 73linux?script told me that Ruby needed to be installed, I told it to install Ruby. In order for Conky to report my grid I had to install the following:
sudo apt-get install ruby-dev sudo apt-get install rubygems ?sudo gem install sudo gem install gpsd_client sudo gem install maidenhead sudo gem install json I'm also wondering if I could just add my grid to some configuration?file so I could move forward with Winlink for now at least. ? -- Mike WB8ERJ
Geeze! What is he up to now?
Finally getting back to this GPS issue - progress!! Kelly, thanks for your input. It's greatly appreciated. I was able to search the BAP forum and I think I found what you are referring to.
First, for some reason, Ruby wasn't installed when I ran the 73linux?script.? No big deal I though, so I just?did a sudo apt-get install ruby and moved on.
For reference, here is what I have found so far. I was able to get the grid square to display in conky by running the following:
sudo apt-get install rubygems
sudo gem install gpsd_client
sudo gem install maidenhead
I also read somewhere someone added this too. So I did as well. Not sure if it's needed though. git clone
So all of the above gets my conky to display my grid. Now when I try to set my grid square in Pat Menu, it doesn't seem to save it.
When I click on GPS grid update, it shows my grid. When I click on Update Pat, it appears to save but it really doesn't. Same with Manual Grid Update. Also on Pat's main menu grid is normally displayed in the lower left corner but nothing is there. Thanks in advance for your help! ? -- Mike WB8ERJ
