Re: BAP - Singnalink - Alsamixer missing inputs

 

Clean install, exact same results.

It is a newer signalink, not that should make a difference.

As I said from the start, I am able to RX and TX. Just an oddity.


Re: flrig setup with Kenwood TS-2000

 

Your response, as usual, was right on, Jason. I haven't completely solved my flrig problem yet but I discovered that I was using the wrong connection between Signalink and the TS-2000. I switched from ACC2 to the COM port on the radio, with a different cable, and then flrig saw the radio. This is a result of me using only a couple modes on my radio for years and forgetting about unused connections to the back of the rig. A lesson learned.?

Please Help getting packet terminal setup

 
Edited

Hello folks
Our club has had some recent interest in doing standard packet (not aprs). So I am trying to setup my pi to run as a packet terminal

I have direwolf setup to use my IC 9700 and have tested that it will both transmit and recieves packets.
I have edited /etc/ax25/axport with this port defined
1 KD0YTE-1 1200 255 2 2m packet
I start direwolf with the -p option it creates /dev/pts/2
I run this command
sudo /usr/sbin/kissattach /dev/pts/2 1 44.56.4.118
It returns
AX.25 port 1 bound to device ax0

I defined the port in ~/Linpac/macro/init.mac to be
;; Default connected port
port 1

However when linpac starts there is Operation not permitted on the screen and Linpac doesn't connect to direwolf at all.

I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I have tried defining the port differently in linpac but it segfaults when i do that.?
Is there a better way to get linpac to use direwolf as it's TNC?
I am open to trying a different packet terminal software for the pi if that would work.

any help appreciated.


Re: Isolation of the field Compiter #PI4

 

The images is before I added the DB9 connector etc, but this give you a general Idea
The box is now quite overcrowded and attaching the connectors is quite an headacke. Hope I do not have to do this again. The monitor is fitted on the box's top cover and connects to the HDMI, USB and power Isolation DC-DC converter, the Tracopower's TEN? 15W DC Isolated converter.

Re: BAP - Singnalink - Alsamixer missing inputs

 

Ok, I am watching your video on BAP Updater that you just released, and decided I will try another clean install. As the only thing I have setup at all is APRS (Xastir, Direwolf) anyways. So not hard to set back up.

Will update if that resolves my issue.

Well I first put this question in the yaac group, there they told me, to raise it in the direwolf group, so not really helpful ;-)

Re: BAP - Singnalink - Alsamixer missing inputs

 

Pulseaudio mixer doesn't work either.

It is the latest raspberry pi os on a pi4 4gb with all options selected using the build-a-pi script.

It just happened I names the pi happiness.

Re: BAP - Singnalink - Alsamixer missing inputs

 








I have playback volume control, even if it appears to not do anything.

I don't have record volume control, at all.


#bap Issues when installing BAP Menus #bap

 

After 3 new os instalations from scratch and the using BAP to install the rest end up in a total confussion

as Eben mentioned too that every install is different problems as if something is changing things on the www side where data is collected from

for ex. I do not click flmsg to install. But when BAP is finished flmsg is ¡°installed¡± according to BAP but on flsuite flmsg is not
i did not select hamlib for ex. And the patch installed hamlib latest version as selected but then BAP shows again it is not installed when running BAP update again. Then BAP does an update again on hamlib but still flrig does not work at all with whatever radio is selected but flrig in conkey screen shows flrig is running but rigcnt not showing?running on conkey screen

my question? ?If anythung is written to the sdcard ? Is there an error checking to see it is written on active areas and for ex not on damaged section? As i dont know how to do a checkdisk for errors on an se card on rpi
or can i format the sdcard in windows - dont know how exactly - to make it still usable for rpi os to be written onto sd card

Please advice as all was working 100% until update using BAP was used 2 weeks ago. As we noted with all the patches etc the apps we install using BAP give Jason a lot of grey hair sorting flrig,hamlib,ardop, etc ?problems that suddenly popped up from no where.?

Jason thanks for all your input and keeping ham radio alive with BAP

Re: #buster #rpi Memory leaks? #buster #rpi

 

I also noticed a significant (but not earth-shaking) improvement in my PI's performance by changing to ZRAM for swap space. You can read more about it here:??and even better details here:?

And, if you are using an SSD drive (as in the Ultrimate BAP video), enable TRIM for further enhancements:???.? Not all SSD drives are compatible with TRIM, so you need to check specifically before trying it on yours.?

Note these changes are probably not for the person who doesn't like tinkering with Linux internals.?


Re: BAP - Singnalink - Alsamixer missing inputs

 

In alsamixer, did you press F6 and select the Signalink sound card? Below is what mine looks like in alsamixer.

BAP - Singnalink - Alsamixer missing inputs

 

From what I am gathering, this is an odd issue.

Everything is working, but I can not adjust my input volume with alsamixer. It says I have none for the Signalink.

Yet, as I said, everything is working outside of that. I have Direwolf running, and I am receiving and sending data.

arecord -l shows: Card 2: CODEC [USB AUDIO CODEC]. device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
Subdevices: 0/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

The "CODEC" listing is what I think is the issue. The input shows the same.

This was a clean install of Raspian (4 days ago) with the build-a-pi.

I did select EVERYTHING for the install. In case that might be the issue.

As stated, I can RX/TX with the setup. I just wanted to have some more control over the input levels when I am remote.

Thanks.


Re: Isolation of the field Compiter #PI4

 

Nice build! Can you post pictures please. Thank you.?


Re: Isolation of the field Compiter #PI4

 

The build went well, without any major hick-ups, but yes there is always something, like forgetting to plug in something or whatever. But yes it is up and running.
The built details is as follow,
The power supply is Isolated via an DC-DC converter of MeanWell 9-18VDC with an output to 5VDC for the Pi and USB hub.
The power supply to the monitor, Waveshare 11.6 full HD monitor, is isolated via a DC-DC converter of Tracopower TEN 15W to enable a stable output from 9VDC-18VDC to 12VDC
I also have an DC-DC converter (not sure if it is isolated) from any input up to 36VDC to an stable output of 12VDC (adjustable)
In the box is build-in the three DC-DC converters, and USB2 HUB, PCB connected to the GPIO connector of the Pi 40pin with the following
5V DC output to the system fan, 5VDC output to the two chassis fans for inflow, I2C connector for peripherals e.g. OLED, DB9 for I2C SPI and UART connection via the DB9 male chassis connector, push button for safe shutdown as well as a LED with confidence pulse when the Pi is booted up, USB HUB, 120GB SSD with OS installed on it via the USB3 port.
The system fan and cooler is a low profile ICE cooler heat pipe cooling with an 40mm 5VDC fan
Cooling is provided by one 40mm sq X 10mm and 40mm sq X 20mm fan while two 40mm sq X 10mm exhaust fans is fitted on top for assisted box cooling.
The DB9 connector I have not tested yet
The hiccups began when I exchanged the DLink USB2 HUB with another? 7port USB2 Hub because with the mod I have blown an USB hub chip on the DLink so a few ports on the Dlink is not working anymore. The whole OS changed and the USB devices did not want to connect to the applications for HAM radio, even my custom made Prolific USB to RS232 connector for the Yaesu-FT897D, a panel mount Micro HDMI to HDMI connector as well as the USB audio COB dongle.
What a nightmare, It cost me to re-install the Pi OS as well as BAP.
With BAP I installed the FLrig and HAMLIB and checked if it was working before I installed anything else.
The I proceded with FLDigi and ARDOP asn finally the WSJT-X and JS8Call
At the moment the following devices is connected to my USB input,
An Homebrew Prolific adapter for the FT-897 CAT
An USB Sound COB dongle to the custom cables for the Audio I/O
A homebrew USB GPS from UBLOX NEO5
An external WiFi device with an external cable antenna to extend the WiFi signal and to keep it as far as possible from the other RF
An HDMI KVM switch with keyboard and mouse sharing
The USB touch input of my 11.6" monitor running from the Tracopower DC-DC converter fitted on the box
What a build! everything in an box approximately 7.5" X 6" X 3 " in size, smaller than my FT-897.
The device temperature in my shack is about 10C above the ambient temp in my shack.
Everything is running from a DC supply, even the FT-897 and ICOM 2m/70cm radio
It seems to be very stable and no USB or any other problems or conflicts ATM.
The only thing I have to sort out is the audio between the FT-897 and the Pi4, but that's another story. I want to build an external PiZero with an IQaudio Codec Zero connected via serial comms to the Pi4 via SPI or UART.
Hope thats my complete build. No external wires etc, all is done from chassis mount connectors

Re: Thoughts on portable HDMI displays for POTA

 

I have been using this screen from Sunfounder. It is intended for use with a Raspberry Pi. It powers from 12vdc and supplies a USB 5vdc connection to the Pi solving the problem of how to power the Pi from your 12v battery. Comes with all the cables and a 12v wall wart.

It seems to be a good size, and works okay. You still will have trouble in bright sunlight, but a shade could be built pretty easily.

Re: flrig setup with Kenwood TS-2000

 

I ran the command you suggested and the response was: '/dev/serial/by-id/': No such file or directory.
that tells me that the pi isn't seeing the radio. you should get something like Fred posted. Try rebooting and run the command again before starting anything else. You might also try swapping to a different USB port.
