Re: Optimal Platform & OS for 73 or BAP?
I did finally get VARA installed on my Pi4B.? But I agree with you.? A cheap, decent laptop is much better.? A Pi is simply too slow.? I have an old Lenovo laptop, not the fastet car in the garage, that I use in my remote shack.? I used a buck converter to connect it directly to the DC output of my PV system.? It keeps the laptop's battery charged.? I have another laptop with Ubuntu Linux and have the usual suspect radio programs installed.? I even got VARA up and running thanks to your tutorial a while back.?
For my shack computer I did want to try out a Windows installation to compare and contrast.? I must say that all the stuff was much easier to install on the Windows machine.? I had everything up and running in a fraction of the time I have spent with my linux pc's and Raspi's.? Major plus there.
Although Pat Winlink does work, I have to admit that Winlink Expresss with all its features, and VARAC, cause me to more likely boot up that laptop in my shack.
I am rather snobby that I really only use Linux.? Considering the amount of time and often frustration at getting stuff to work with Linux, I was not getting out and doing radio, which is what I want to do and not be a "configuration masochist."
The Raspi was a good experiment.? It has its place and uses.? But for a real-time shack computer or something to take into the field I agree with you that a good, used laptop is the better choice.?
I see that you are preferring the Icom IC-705. Icom did it right.? One USB cable for CAT and data, built-in sound interface.? I run an Icom IC_7200 in my shack, also with one USB cable and built-in sound interface.? That radio is supposed to be portable, but it weighs a ton, even though it has compact dimensions.? If you don't have to carry it far, it is "portable."
I also have a Yaesu FT-891.? I think Yaesu really missed the boat by not including a sound interface in the radio.? With an external sound interface and all the cables, the radio is no fun for doing "digital" modes in the field.? Too much "cable salad" (Kabelsalat).
Now, I will put my Pi's aside and use them for some speciall chores, like you are doing.? That's my feedback on this.? Vy 73 de David SV0SGS and DM3BC

In addition to a hdmi adapter, a usb Ethernet is handy to keep around or add to the order.?

ok try this:
using either then copy the saved file to you sd card's boot section. if this doesn't help I'm at a loss.

Yes need wireless before I figure out ssh.
Pi zero imho is not the platform for vnc.
I want to run command line items only for this work. We are working on a unit to send pics and video from a high altitude balloon. The zero 2 has the power I need without the power consumption of a 4 or 5 etc..

Re: PAT-Menu doesn't notice that it started VARA-HF, anymore
still working on this today.
a snippet from 'start-vara-hf'
PIDVARA=$(ps aux | grep .wine | grep VARA.exe)
if [ -z "$PIDVARA" ]
then
yad --title="FAILED" --width=400 --height=100 \
??? --image $LOGO --window-icon=$LOGO --image-on-top --text-align=center \
??? --center --form --text="The VARA Modem FAILED to Start" \

else
yad --title="VARA MODEM" --width=400 --height=100 \

??? --center --form --text="\r\r\r\rThe VARA Modem has Started\rJust a few more seconds" \
??? --button=gtk-ok &
fi
both VARA.exe as well as ' .wine ' are in the list of running tasks asked for.
this isn't an issue with the code but merely somewhere I have fouled stuff up.

Re: VARA in Dec2023 on a Pi
Very frustrated BAP user here.? I have been trying unsuccesfully to install VARA on my Pi4/Bullseye.? I have done all the upgrades and updates for Bullseye.? The Pi is running headless via VNC to my desktop computer.? I have used pi-apps to install the latest Box876 version and Wine.??? I used 73Linux to install VARA HF and VARA FM.? In the middle of the install thee appear many error messages, some saying that the download directory cannot be found or that some directory path cannot be removed (huh?).? In any case, the VARA installation is a total failure.? Wine is installed.? It appears in the menu bar, and I can open some wine items like program manager.? I am concerned about the "download directroy cannot be found" error. Can you help me out here?? I am not a computer wiz and had hoped that a fully automated installation process would be suitable for my knowledge level.?

Sorry, I just double-checked, the Zero 2 W is also a single-band (2.4 GHz) WiFi, just like a plain Zero W.
Sorry for any confusion my comment created...

? Tom,
It could just be broken.
There's no meaningful difference in the wifi setup (in the OS) between an RPi Zero W and an RPi Zero 2 W, aside from the WiFo on a Zero W is 2.4 GHz only and the RPi Zero 2 W is dual-band (2.4 & 5 GHz), but that really shouldn't make a difference.
Maybe this tutorial about logging into your RPi Zero 2 W can help you figure this out:
?
Once you've logged in to your Zero via SSH over USB, perhaps you can find out what the issue is.
Good luck, Ken, N2VIP On Mar 4, 2024, at 23:44, Tom Pankonen <pankonen@...> wrote:

I cannot get it to bind to wireless let let alone ssh.
I¡¯m setting everything in imager. I¡¯ve tried connecting to 2 wireless routers I have with no luck. I have zeros connected and pi4¡¯s. I cannot get my zero 2 or pi 3¡¯s to connect.
I¡¯ve even gone so far to try two different wireless dongles but they don¡¯t seem to get initiated w Linux drivers as I don¡¯t see the ready light coming on.

I would suggest trying to ssh or use putty to sign in. the use raspi-config to make sure vnc in turned on. if you cant't access it through either sh or putty , shutdown the pi pull card and add to the boot section of the card an empty text file called ssh.txt. reinsert card and reboot and try again.

PAT-Menu doesn't notice that it started VARA-HF, anymore
Hiya all
running 73-Linux over whatever that latest Linux-Mint flavor is current as of a couple weeks ago.
See screenshot to see what I mean, please.
Clearly Vara-Hf is active. And that one is the one that I use with myriad other of our ham radio programs.
Oh, BTW. If you have a sure-fire way in software, for me to lower the audio drive please let me know.
Pulse Audio. Alsamixer and others, may, once a week, find the USB Audio Codec ...and I see, always, that the Codec is there when I try different CLI typed commands.

Re: More GPS Winlink Bookworm woes
Kelly,
Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't work. I also tried set the menu-item working directory to /home/pi/ and that didn't work.
I also wrote a quick script and placed it in both the home directory and in the desktop directory. It didn't work either. The only thing that works is if I am in the nome directory and give it the full path name /home/pi/patmenu2/patmenu
#!/bin/bash cd $HOME $HOME/patmenu2/patmenu exit 0 ? -- Mike WB8ERJ
Geeze! What is he up to now?
