Re: Thoughts on portable HDMI displays for POTA

Thoughts on portable HDMI displays for POTA
I am wondering if portable HDMI displays might be simpler for field use, ?I have installed the Hotspot and VNC and have had lukewarm success in getting it all to work with my tablet (Apple). ?There are several 10¡± HDMI displays that are fully portable and not very heavy consumers of power. ?Currently using Bioenno 12v 12ah battery with my G90 and Raspberry Pi. ?That can go much longer than I can! ?The HDMI screen requires only a cable to get the Pi displaying it¡¯s desktop. ?Thoughts and ideas are welcomed.

Re: Anybody running gpsd to read from another Pi?
A partial result. Got remote gpsd to be usable by local utils, but not by the local gpsd (yet).
For example, I altered the bin/conky/get-grid Ruby script to connect to the remote gpsd directly, and now I see my grid square on the conky display. Local calls to the local gpsd, though, don't work. The answer was pretty well hidden over in That does a "real world example" at the very bottom of the file. There they reveal that adding a -G option to gpsd is not enough. You also have to alter the gpsd.socket configuration so that systemd will allow connection from remote hosts. For completeness, I include the instructions below (in case the link changes or disappears).? The parts that aren't told elsewhere are in yellow. Notice that after this, cgps 192.168.0.200 and xgps 192.168.0.200:2947 work great, and the local gpsd connects fine. However, the local gpsd gets a? {"class":"ERROR","message":"Unrecognized request ''"} error when it is asked to retrieve data from the remote gpsd (triggered by running 'cgps' locally to the local gpsd). Real World ExampleFor security, gpsd by default is shipped set up to listen only on the loopback interface, thereby restricting its audience to clients on the same computer. We'd like to allow other computers to listen in as well. This means:
Once we know gpsd is running, we modify # Other options you want to pass to gpsd # GPSD_OPTIONS="" GPSD_OPTIONS="-Gn" We can stop gpsd. Systemd will restart it for us, this time with the options in place. We then verify that the options are there: root@orca:~# gpsd.socket gpsd.service root@orca:~# ps aux | grep -i gpsd | grep -v grep gpsd 14547 0.5 0.0 18092 3504 ? S<sl 15:44 0:00 /usr/sbin/gpsd -Gn root@orca:~# But we aren't there yet. gpsd may be listening on all interfaces, but systemd's hold on the socket means gpsd can't hear anything on interfaces other than the loopback. We have to tell systemd to allow gpsd to hear other interfaces. We run [Socket]
ListenStream=@RUNDIR/gpsd.sock
ListenStream=[::1]:2947
# ListenStream=127.0.0.1:2947
ListenStream=0.0.0.0:2947
SocketMode=0600
When you are done editing, systemctl does what it needs to do internally to preserve your changes from being over-written during upgrades. It also does the equivalent of a We now restart both gpsd units like so: gpsd.socket gpsd.service Now check with a local client, and a client on the remote computer: xgps Where in our example is orca. As usual, if you see data in the client, you're done. |
Re: Debian Raspberry Pi install missing wireless drivers
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi Mikehow to add wifi driver to Debian linu I can't answer your question directly, I have the same software but my wifi worked right away. But I did a Google search using "how to add wifi driver to Debian
linux" and got several answers. This might get more information for you if you add Debian to the search to narrow it down a bit more. I did see some answers to my search so I know there are answers.
Hopefully someone will have an answer here and speak up to help more.

PAT Listen
Where can I find documentation of how the PAT Listen function is supposed to work.
I'm running PAT on 2m and Telnet and I've activated Listening on Telnet and then on AX25 and they don't seem to have any effect. What I thought would happen is if I sent an email to my WinLink address somehow it would be automatically received in the PAT WinLink In Box. 73 de Jeff KO4NCC |
Re: Rig Bluetooth Connection Status on Conky-Is it Possible?

?Something like these lines in .conkyrc in your home directory should work:
${if_match ${exec bluetoothctl info 98:D3:31:F7:55:37?| grep "Connected: yes"} == "Connected:yes" ${color green}BluetoothConnected! \$else \${color red}{blink?'Bluetooth Disconnected!'}${endif}I say "Something like" because I haven't tested this and almost certainly the format is a little off. But maybe this is enough to get you started.? I don't use Bluetooth on my Pi so can't test it out myself without adding a bluetooth device. You probably have to troubleshoot the above code to get it to actually work.? |

Taking it one step more: bluetoothctl info 98:D3:31:F7:55:37 | grep Connected | awk '{ print $2 }' should leave you with yes or no. Hope that helps ? -- 73, de KM4ACK

Re: Debian Raspberry Pi install missing wireless drivers
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi I assume you are answering my post. But I didn't have any trouble
with wifi, only the display showing funny. I think though I would like to get a copy of that distro to try. What I would like is to be able to try running the BAP on Debian 10 to see if it will work, I expect most of it will or can be played with. Something to try, I like the fact that I could run my laptop, I think, from a 12 V battery, for the POTA attempt from a close park. For a short time I do have a Phone battery that could power my Rpi plus monitor, maybe. Or play with a buck converter to power them with.

Re: Debian Raspberry Pi install missing wireless drivers
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI think you misunderstood the OS he is using. It is one I use on my HP laptop. It is an OS labeled for I386 I think on the Rpi site. I have most everything working on my i386 64 system. I am seeing an issue in the display. Works but is not up to what you see on a pi display. I am still working with it, I could easily make due in a POTA situation. I would have a hard time in a POTA event using my Rpi providing power with out a Generator.

Debian Raspberry Pi install missing wireless drivers
Michael E Wilson Sr
I need some expert help. I have been attempting to play with Raspberry. Have a Rpi 4 and everything great so far. Recently I have installed Debian Raspberry on my old HP Pavilion zv6270us. Install was quick and simple. Only problem are missing wireless drivers. Got the message "firm files needed: b43/ucode5.fw b43-open/ucode5.fw". I have found a site that about a dozen different files that may or may not resolve the issue. My problem is that I don't know enough to actually do more that down load the file. I need some step my step help of not only what to do but how to do it. I am truly a new user when it comes to any form of Linux.?

Lab599 TX500 FLRig setup
Hello all,?I recently purchased the Lab599 TX500 qrp rig last week (GREAT rig btw).? As its a new rig, it wasn't listed in FLRig but I did find that using the Kenwood TS2000 as the rig makes all the important stuff work (ie PTT, Band and mode switching).? Attached is a screen shot of my FLRig settings.
I used the same Pat config as the 7300 using FLRig.? Works fine with PTT, band change and changing the radio to digital mode Hope this helps.? If you are using something different let me know.? -- 73 Tim KF7VUT SKCC #12611T |
Rig Bluetooth Connection Status on Conky-Is it Possible?
#draws
#ft818
#bluetooth
#conky
This is way low on the priority, but has anyone figured a way to show connection status of Bluetooth adapter on a rig on the Conky? I am running a DRAWS Hat with BAP 3.0.8 and finally have almost everything working with my FT-818ND (still have not made an ARDOP connection yet). Last wish list thing is to be able to glance at the Conky and see if the BT connection to the radio is connected or not.?
I have found that from terminal window I can enter bluetoothctl info 98:D3:31:F7:55:37 and it returns Device 98:D3:31:F7:55:37 (public) Name: SPP-CA
Alias: SPP-CA
Paired: yes
Trusted: yes
Blocked: no
Connected: yes
LegacyPairing: no
UUID: Serial Port ? ? ? ? ? ? ? (00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb)
Is there a way to parse out that "Connected: yes" and put it in an IF statement in the Conky like the check to see if a app or service is running? |
