Re: #ardop rpoblem with configuration #ardop

 

Opening Playback Device plughw:,0 Rate 12000
You have your sound card configured as "plughw:,0". It should be "plughw:2,0".

Are you running Build a Pi or is this a manual installation?

Re: Need help with BAP

 

If you have had this system built for a while, you may have an old version of the Conky config (.conkyrc) file installed. This could be causing conky not to start correctly. Try reinstalling Conky and see if that fixes the issue. Also, see this video

Hello,

Do anybody have an idea what my next steps could Bussi Erwin to find the error? I'm sticking on this problem and can't find anything about this in the forum or Web.

Re: Help with Bluecat adapter

 

Thanks Bill,
I'll admit to having given up too easily, at the "no services" message!
in future I must also search more thoroughly through the many excellent videos Jason has produced. Great to have so much support.
One note that might help others; the Bluecat device version I bought is specifically for the 897 with an AT-897 tuner attached. The CAT is passed through that and seems to need to be set at a baud rate of 4800 due to the AT-897 limitations.
Thanks again to both Bill for the reply and Jason for a great project and videos.


Re: Isolation of the field Compiter #PI4

 

The audio on a Pi4 is and always be the Achilles heel for a Pi
Now I've got some heat problems in my container but aims too correct it soon with an commercial cooler.
The Pi hangs up because of heat problems but my PSU is now isolated from the radio thanks to a MeanWell isolated 5V DC-DC converter

Re: Help with Bluecat adapter

 

I followed Jason's video I just did on my PI-4 and it worked fine. The most important part is :
FLRIG, navigate to Config>Setup>transceiver.
On the configuration page choose your Yaesu rig from
the top drop down box labeled rig. In the next box, choose
"/dev/rfcomm7" which will be near the bottom of the list.
If /dev/rfcomm7 isn't found in the list, you can enter it
manually in the box.

Help with Bluecat adapter

 

Please can anyone assist with using a Bluecat Bluetooth adapter?

it pairs with the RPi4 but gives a message saying that ¡°no services are supported on the Raspberry Pi¡±.

I have used the adapter successfully with a Yaseu FT897D and a PC to provide a serial connection for CAT control of the radio in such as FLDIGI and hoped to use it with a RPi4.
I contacted the manufacturer who replied ¡°?BlueCAT presents a standard Bluetooth 2 SPP interface. Although we can not warrant?it with third party software over which we have no control, many people have successfully?used it with different Android, PC, Linux and Mac (desktop only) apps.¡±

Re: Build-a-Pi V 3.0.8 doing update to null version Ends up with invalid desktop entry

 

I thought I had that written into the but it sounds like I need to take another look. It should give you a warning that you aren't connected to the internet and exit. I'll dig into it and see what I can figure out.

Re: Build-a-Pi V 3.0.8 doing update to null version Ends up with invalid desktop entry

 

Yes, exactly.? If BAP Update doesn't have a valid Internet connection it can't read the current version number and then defaults to trying an update which deletes the folder and stops there.? It needs to see if a valid version is returned and then proceed, not assume that nothing returned is a down level version.? If the latest version is Null? then say that there is no usable internet connection-try later.

Thanks


No Audio Devices on Pi 4? Try this

 

After a ton of grief and tears, I finally realized that it seems the Pi 4 will not properly load the audio devices if there is no HDMI attached.
The work-around is this:?
In /boot/config.txt uncomment / add this line then reboot:

hdmi_force_hotplug=1


This will cause the system to assume HDMI may be attached, and will then consequently follow the right code path to load the audio devices.
Otherwise, for me at least, I can get no audio devices unless a monitor is connected prior to boot.


Quick BAP install with SSD

 
Edited

I just watched Jason's video on the Ultimate Raspberry Pi install.
I had a slightly different approach that worked a treat, and was a little simpler. I thought I'd share...
I had the Raspberry Pi 4, 8GB card installed in the Argon M.2 case just as Jason had in his video.

For SD card, I just shut down my Pi Zero W and grabbed the SD from that and put it in my Pi 4.
I popped on the bottom with a spanking new 256 GB SSD and added the USB jumper.
I booted the Pi 4, and it came up, thinking it was my Pi Zero. Not a problem.

I opened a terminal window and ran
sudo apt install rpi-imager
I then use the imager to install an OS onto the SSD:
I selected the Raspian 32-bit Desktop OS and the SSD card. Hit Write. It took only a few seconds.
I Shutdown the Pi 4 and then removed the SD card.

I reassembled the case with the SSD and USB jumper and booted up.
It automatically resized the partition to be the entire drive and installed the OS.
Done.

No need for gpartd.
Also, since I then ran the BAP script using the SSD, it was *fast*.

Re: IC-705 USB Sound No Worky #PI4

 

My problem is only similar to the main issue of this thread. I am running a Signalink to an Icom 7600.
Don't want to mislead, no 705 here, unlike Jason. ?:-)

Re: IC-705 USB Sound No Worky #PI4

 

I¡¯m using the IC-705 and Build-a-pi. ?If you have a high quality data cable, you should not need the signalink. ?I¡¯m using the RT systems USB data cable for the 705 and it works great. ?For Flrig, I¡¯m using the ports by-Id. If00 and if02. ?

The above setup may simplify it for you. ?the RT Systems data cable is about $10.


Re: IC-705 USB Sound No Worky #PI4

 

Not an option. My only choice is Volume control settings. That produces a window that has Audio Card as a drop down menu. But any choice I make there does not stay. I see USB AUDIO CODEC, but it disappears when I open the window again. Is this a Pulse Audio problem?

Re: Build-a-Pi V 3.0.8 doing update to null version Ends up with invalid desktop entry

 

It sounds like the lack of an internet connection is when this happened. Am I understanding that correctly?

Right click on the speaker icon in the top right corner of the desktop. Then select the default sound card. A check mark will be beside the one selected.

Re: Upgrades for FLDIGI, FLRIG, etc.

 

Many of the apps you are using require Hamlib (WSJT-X, JS8Call, etc.) For those,?if you want to use FLrig, you select Hamlib Rig ID #4 (which makes Hamlib? it use FLRig instead).

Slightly related question:? Is HamLib required to run FLDIGI (specifically FLRIG for WSJTX and JS8CALL)?

The Hamlib application seems to have a number of bugs and I'd like to just get rid of it. I actually did remove the Hamlib directory from /home/pi, and was expecting to see a note in BAP that it wasn't installed, but BAP reports it still is installed so maybe I missed some parts of it.?
