Re: BAP on RasPi zero
Ahaaa. Another 'Ten-Tec' chap :-)
I'm an 'Argo' nut. I've had them all at some time in the past. Now I just have 3 - my original 509, the 'Scout' and my Argo 2. All in regular use. Anyway, back to Raspis My shack PC is a Raspi-4, 8Gb memory and 240Gb SSD housed in a Desk-Pi pro case. I run Raspian and Windows 10 on the thing -- and of course BAP in all its glory. Windows is really only for Winlink Express as there is no alternative OS to run it. My Pi is really my Digital modes work station. its coupled to my 705, G90, KX3, and my K3. I have 2 other raspi 4's: One for my traditional 'portable' activities (wires and all) and the other for experimenting -- as I hate breaking up my portable bag or fiddling with my Shack PC to try out some idea I may have. I use the G90 for SSB portable and the KX3 is now installed in my Go-Box -- which is what I want a lower powered Raspi for. The 705 is so comprehensive a rig, I use it mainly for experimenting with external peripherals -- like the Raspi Zero, different interfaces and different portable antennas, atu's etc I have several other QRP rigs --? as a quick sojourn to my web site: ?will reveal. That's about half of them :-) I will try to get the 705 running with BAP on the Pi zero first -- as interfacing should be possible with a single USB connection. The Pi zero has now been running for over 24 hours with FLRig, FLdigi and Conky running. No signs of 'crashes' and temp is stable at about 46c. I too have powered it from a small battery pack -- to monitor current and see how long it runs. So far, so good. 73 for now. Bruce G4ABX |

Re: BAP on RasPi zero
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýjust a suggestion that may help with conky..... Conky is continually making calls based on a default refresh and an over rife=de that may be placed on individual lines.? If you gut the .conkyrc file to just what you would like to see say CPU Temp and maybe grid square for remote operations, it might not need to be disabled and can just run for you.? Both of those items could be setup up to say a 5 minute refresh to save cycles and you still have a relatively decent measurement of the cpu readily available.? Really glad to hear you are able to use it for your purposes. Thanks, Terry k4hnt ---- On Wed, 18 Aug 2021 05:05:48 -0400 Vic WA4THR via groups.io <vhklein@...> wrote ----

Re: BAP on RasPi zero
Thanks, Bruce. I may try Fldigi again, then. I also overclocked mine 10% and I disable Conky when running other programs and that significantly improved operations. It really never gets hot, as you noted. As for adding more USB ports, I have a hub that I use to connect CAT, the sound card dongle, and the GPS dongle. It was also used initially to connect a keyboard and mouse when I was setting it up, but it has been run headless ever since. The whole thing is powered by the 5v port on a small battery pack (sitting on top of the rig in teh photo) that also powers the radio in the field, but just running the Pi it lasts literally for days.

Re: Build-a-Pi only once?
I wonder if there is value to putting a choice to delete the download/install directories if the install script sees the directory for a future update?This is exactly how BAP works for new versions of BAP. It checks github to see if a new version is available and gives the operator a notice allowing them to choose to install the latest version or keep using their current version. -- 73, de KM4ACK

Bill,
The first thing to determine is does the GPS have a lock? Run this command in a terminal window: cgps and see if you have data. As you are using the ARGON case, it utilizes the USB 3.0 port on the Pi. USB 3 is known to cause interference with GPS reception This isn't unique to the Pi. You might want to try the GPS on your phone -- 73, de KM4ACK

Re: How to Resume a Failed Install
Greetings. I tried a fresh install today of the latest build on my RPi3 and it got to "dialogs/fldigi-confdialog.o" line and then just stopped. The system didn't crash but became very unresponsive (about 3 or 4 minutes to register a mouse move) so I had to unplug the Pi to get it going again.Don't give up on the build in this particular spot. Especially on the Pi 3 where it may seem hung in this spot for a LONG time. I usually get everything started just before bed and it's done in the morning :-) -- 73, de KM4ACK

Makerfocus dock
Are there any installation instructions?
Checked site. I have everything hooked up with barrel connector with positive on the outer and ground in the center. Connected to power poles and to my 12v power supply. Any advice? After further searching it says that barrel center should be positive. Can someone verify this please. Thanks -- Echodelta10 |

KM4ACK has a YouTube on the subject of the GPS not working. ?I followed it and get nothing. ?I can look in the /etc/default/gpsd file and it has the port assigned to the string that appears in the /dev/serial/by-id listing. ?I have in fact 2 GPS donagls one with a direct USB plug and one with a pod at the end of a USB cable. ?I currently have the one with the pod at the end of a USB cable attach after I rapped the cable around a ferrite core about 10 times. ?I will let it stay running overnight and see if it connects. ?I am not a rookie on the pi, but I do not know how to turn a txt file into an executable script? ?If you can please provide a reference.
Thanks for your assistance in this matter |
