Re: IC 705 gpsd and FLRIG conflict.

 

Hi,
I¡¯m new to the raspberry 4 and build a pi. I have most everything working bit grid square on Conky. The GPS works off the IC-705 only by itself, this was confirmed by gpsd check. If it¡¯s running I can¡¯t operate FLRIG or VNC. I have to turn off the 705 reboot raspberry then turn on 705 after the raspberry is on, then GPS no longer works and FLRIG and VNC operate fine.

this group has helped immensely getting up and running, Can someone point me in the right direction to solve this problem. Thanks!
By running:
ls /dev/serial/by-id/
you will find there are two listings for the 705 which are something similar to:
usb-Icom_Inc._IC-705_IC-705_12007996-if00
usb-Icom_Inc._IC-705_IC-705_12007996-if02

The one that ends in "if00" is the one that should be used in FLRIG and the one that ends in "if02" should be used for the GPS connection. This will avoid the conflict. First use the GPS update tool and set the GPS to the one ending in "if02" and then configure FLRIG to use the other one and you should be good.

Re: FLAMP install not working from Build-a-Pi

 


I found a workaround, and have submitted it to Jason for his consideration.

Below is that suggestion:
Hi Jason -
?
Continued with the past problem in that FLAMP always
indicated 'NEED UPDATE', but never updated from
2.2.05 to 2.2.07.
?
A fix for this involved adding "| tail -1)" to the end of
the AMPTAR=$ line in the FLAMP section of the
'flsuite.funtion' script.
?
The update went smoothly, and now, with 2.2.07
installed, the FLAMP NEEDS UPDATE message
has disappeared.
?
Is this a valid 'fix'?

Jerry,

I received your email but it has been a couple of crazy days for me. I'll review the fix you submitted and see if I can get a new patch out in the next few days.

Hi Paul,

I've been out on a ham exercise all day and am exhausted.? I will try tomorrow to see what I am doing that is different than you.? For the moment, I can tell you the single USB cable connection is running all three with my Pi(s); rig control, sound codecs, and GPS all without any problems.? I guess I just lucked into it because all I've done is follow the BAP instructions for this marriage made in heaven, the IC-705 to the Raspberry Pi 3B+ and 4B running headless with PC, tablet and phone control.? At the very least I want you to know that it is being done.? Later!

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I have same problem here.?
Only difference in setting is mine use 5000 instead of 8080

What i also noted is that rigcontrol in conkey does not go green -?
In older version it used to go green but did not go red after closing down of pat winlink. Then i had to reboot pi otherwise other apps dont work as stand alone without flrig

Wsjt-x was not working but after installing the patch i cganged settings to another radio and then changed it back to correct radio and now it is working with new patch. Thanks for that solution Jason.?

Re: Hotspot

You could try to turn it on manually from the raspi-config menu using the command

sudo raspi-config

I know you can setup your wifi options in that menu.

Can you see the wifi icon on your desktop?

BAP 3.1 Patch screen multiple patches

 

I started to play around with the new patch feature with BAP 3.1

I did find that if you selected multiple patches, it only installs the first patch. The other patches are not installed, so I had to install them one at a time.

No big deal on doing the patches one at a time (at least for me), but I did expect to install multiple patches when I am able to select multiple patches.

But the patch update works like a champ.

Re: Dire Wolf Problem "Could not open audio device plughw:2,0 for input #antenna

 

I just ran command "arecord -l" and it didn't list anything. Then it hit me to plug a device in, so I grabbed a pair of USB headsets and re-ran that command and now it shows it. I'm building this Pi on the desk and I don't have the radio ready and plugged in. I have to figure out how I want to interface the Alinco DR-135 Mk II.?


Re: How to Resume a Failed Install

Hi Steve

Check the pi for what you wanted to install to make sure all finished. I saw where mine finished

but Fldigi wasn't and maybe some others didn't install.

Just to be sure.

Re: How to Resume a Failed Install

Hi Steve

I think with the Pi3 you have run into the run out of swap space issue. On Pi's with both 3 and 4 with

4GB or less or maybe it is less than 4GB of RAM you will see this behavior when installing Fldigi

and maybe some other memory intensive compiles. A search for increasing swap space on Rpi

will get the way to increase swap space on your pi to allow it to complete the BAP install.

Hope this helps and sorry I don't have the procedure to copy to just send you.

Over 8 hrs into this now, still blank screen.
I would like to get this running before we head to Alaska on Wednesday, simply for FT8 (WSJT-X). Should I just omit the other packages and try another pass at this? I would be running headless with a wifi-only iPad Air, so I probably need the GPS dongle support as well.
Or am I better off to just skip BAP and do a manual install of WSJT-X and the GPS support?
Or should I just be patient and let this run?? ?:-)

Re: Dire Wolf Problem "Could not open audio device plughw:2,0 for input #antenna

 

Run this command:
arecord -l
and it should return something like this

**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
card 2: CODEC [USB Audio CODEC], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
? Subdevices: 0/1
? Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

In the example above the card is 2 and device 0 hence plughw:2,0. If your card is different, you will need to modify your direwolf.conf file to match the output of the output above. If you need to make a change the direwolf.conf file will be in your home directory and can be modified with a text editor. On line ~77 you should see "ADEVICE? plughw:2,0" Change the last two numbers on this line to match your card/device number.
