Re: NOOB with growing pains

 

God bless you Jason! Sorry I bothered you. NOOB is a sophomore now. Display resolution was Issue 1 and not finding video

HELP! Conky Won't Start :: GPS Issue

was Issue 2. You're the Best I had tried a different build and your dedication to this project proves itself in spades.? I've been able to do more in 2 days then the other build in 2 months.

New Linux driver for P4dragon #bap #pat-mail

 
Edited

Hello all,

After finishing my BAP installation big thanks to Jason for this tooI, otherwise I would never get suche a system running, I found an interesting project (#580 ?) from?SA7SKY,?DM4RW and?DL3FCJ. It expands the possibilities to work with the SCS P4Dragon with Raspberry PI. At the moment only the Terminalmode is available. I installed this straight forward like described in the documentation, connection via USB. A didn't get the Bluetooth connection running and also the frequency control through the modem (like in WINLINK).

According to the document PAT integration is planned, so this could be a great extension for a BAP installation.

here is the link to the website:?

Re: Update for WSJT-X

 

WSJTX is on the third (ham apps) page when you run the BAP update tool. Just put a check mark by wsjtx and BAP will install the latest version.

Re: BAP stopped in mid installation

 

I forgot to say....how do I fix it without starting all over with OS installation?
Ken KB4XT
The path forward with the least amount of headaches might be to start from scratch and reinstall the OS. This is because you have no idea at what point the Pi got hung. With that said, there are a couple of other ways that can be used to try and recover. Try running the update script with:
bash ~/pi-build/update
or use the method that Bill suggested above.

Re: BAP stopped in mid installation

 

Kinda of easy to do .
1. open the file explorer this should open into the home directory.
2. find the pi-build directory; right click and select move to trash
3. open terminal and enter:?
 git clone https://github.com/km4ack/pi-build.git \
$HOME/pi-build && bash $HOME/pi-build/build-a-pi
this will install a fresh copy of build-a-pi


Update for WSJT-X

 

I have BAP version 3.08 installed. I ran an update
put did not see an opportunity to update WSJT-X. My
current version 2.2 and the most recent version is 2.4

Thanks, George, AK4NG

BAP stopped in mid installation

 

When returning the screen was blank and no amount of mouse movement would wake it up.

I rebooted and went back to github and tried to restart it and received the following message.

Ken KB4XT

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ git clone https://github.com/km4ack/pi-build.git \
>? ?$HOME/pi-build && bash $HOME/pi-build/build-a-pi
fatal: destination path '/home/pi/pi-build' already exists and is not an empty directory.
pi@raspberrypi:~ $?

Re: NOOB with growing pains

 

Let's track down one issue at a time. Once you run the update script, try dragging the box up just a bit and see if you can see the "Start Scan" button.

What size screen are you using?

Re: #ardop rpoblem with configuration #ardop

 
Edited

Thanks Jason and sorry for the dumb questions, I oversaw this. I have to change the system language to English - maybe there are some conflicts with system in German, but I'm not sure. But ARDOP and PAT are running now. Great work from you with BAP! I appreciate your support too. So for LINUX newbies its a great tool.?

Only thing I faced is that with JS8call there is no ALC but the transceiver is keyed - no matter what I do with the mic gain. I have the same settings as WSJTX concerning the audio where it runs. Any hint where I can doing checks?

EDIT: find the fault - Output was set to Stereo, so Mono runs :-)

Re: #ardop rpoblem with configuration #ardop

 

You didn't post your Pat settings again but it looks like you have a typo based on the terminal screenshot. It looks like you have entered
plughw:,2.0
but it needs to be
plughw:2,0
in your pat menu settings. Make sure you change it in both place in the ARDOP command.

Also, you may need to enable PTT. In pat menu click on Manage Pat Winlink and then Set ARDOP PTT. Set the PTT to true.

Re: #ardop rpoblem with configuration #ardop

 

In your pat settings, your ARDOP command is incorrect. Change it to:

/home/pi/ardop/./piardopc 8515 plughw:2,0 plughw:2,0

When I start B-A-P I get the following, "Failed to execute Child Process 'xterm' (no such file or directory). What do I do?

Re: #ardop rpoblem with configuration #ardop

 

Hi Jason,

thanks ... I did it with a fresh BAP installation. Flirr, FLdigi, JS8call and WSJTX are running smooth. So no idea what's going wrong and where I have to do additional settings. Settings of the frequency in ARDOP is OK (see pic). Could it be that I have the language settings on the raspberry in German? Cause some conflicts? Wanted to change it to English but can't find the settings menu for this.

NOOB with growing pains

 

Hi Jason,
?
Excellent work!
?
I'm just have a few growing pains my diagnostic zip attached.
?
Issue 1: When I Main Menu > Hamradio > Build-a-Pi >Update-Tool
?
A terminal session opens and a GUI dialog box appears.? The last sentence of the dialog box is "Ready when you are".
?
No button to click to continue the dialog just sits there. if I hit return everything closes.
?
Issue 2: No Gridsquare in Conky.? I tried to follow this in Groups.io.
?
Here's a paste of my terminal session when I try the first diagnostic test I found.
?
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ /home/pi/bin/conky/grid
^CTraceback (most recent call last):
? ? 2: from /home/pi/bin/conky/get-grid:11:in `<main>'
? ? 1: from /var/lib/gems/2.5.0/gems/gpsd_client-0.0.5/lib/gpsd_client.rb:27:in `start'
/var/lib/gems/2.5.0/gems/gpsd_client-0.0.5/lib/gpsd_client.rb:27:in `gets': Interrupt
?
Note the ^C before Traceback.
?
When I run /home/pi/bin/conky/grid the terminal just sits there.? I have to hit CTRL-C to get the script to stop and produce the results shown above.

Love your build.? I finally got a WinLink account thanks to you!

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?
