Re: IC-705 and direwolf


 

Cool, let¡¯s see if we can solve the issue. With the 705 you must use rig control for PTT. There are several ways to accomplish this but we will use FLRIG in this case. First it is critical that FLRIG is talking to the radio. Verify that you can change frequency and that you can key the radio using the PTT button in FLRIG. If either of these fail, you need to solve this before proceeding.

Verify that the ¡°#¡± is removed in the direwolf.conf file for this line:
PTT RIG 2 localhost:4532

Now that we have FLRIG configured, let¡¯s start the rig control daemon:
/usr/local/bin/rigctld -m 4
Note the ¡°d¡± at the end of rigctl in the above command.

Now we can start direwolf and shouldn¡¯t have any errors.
/usr/local/bin/direwolf -p

A brief explanation:
FLRIG is our GUI interface to the radio. The daemon listens for commands and passes them to FLRIG. In the direwolf.conf file we are telling direwolf to use RIG 2 which is NET or our local network on the Pi which the daemon is listening. The nice part of this configuration is that if you decide to change rigs, you only need to reconfigure FLRIG for the new radio and the other commands will remain the same. This makes is super simple when writing scripts to start different services as we can reuse the same commands time and time again. The only real downside is that FLRIG has to be running for this to work.

Side note: For packet winlink, all of the above happens in the background if you configure and use Pat Menu to start the packet modem.
