There is an Icom setup document written by one of my Patrons. It pertains to the 7300 but you may find useful bits in it

Hopefully others with the same rig can chime in as well.

When did you download the build a pi script?

From the terminal run ls ~/ | grep pi-build
If it returns "pi-build", run bash ~/pi-build/diagnostic and follow the directions on the screen. I'll see if I can figure out what's going on.

So I just finished installing Build-a-Pi V3 and everything looked and performed great. I went to the Build-a-Pi menu to load a few more things as per the video. It said there was a newer version of Build a Pi and Did I want to download it. I said yes and it did its thing. When it came back the new Build-a-Pi desktop pic was gone.....when I tried to go back to the Build-a-Pi menu I got an error saying " Invalid desktop entry file:'/use/share/applications/ build-a-pi.desktop"? ?so now I can't access the menu to the check on installed programs, etc. I then tried to get cocky to run and the menu to customize it is gone. I'm now stuck in Bash and can't get out. It also can't see my Wi-Fi which I had working before this whole thing happened....any ideas what's going on?

Um, have you tried running raspi-config from a terminal session???

I forgot to mention: the file needed changing is
pi-build/functions/flsuite.function

Hi!

System is RPi4, pi-build v 3.0.0. I've? installed almost everything.

When I run update script it finds that flrig need updating.

Because there are 2 versions of flrig at the moment in the
directory, the script produces 2 file
names:

curl -s | grep .tar.gz | sed
's/<li><a\ href="//' | sed 's/">\ flrig.*$//'

The result is:

flrig-1.3.50.tar.gz
flrig-1.3.51.tar.gz

Then the script fails, because it downloads v.1.3.50 and expects to work
with v.1.3.51.

I added 2 more commands to display file versions in reverse order (sort
-r) and then to display the first line only (head -n1):

[TL;DR]

line

RIGTAR=$(curl -s | grep .tar.gz | sed
's/<li><a\ href="//' | sed 's/">\ flrig.*$//'

becomes

RIGTAR=$(curl -s | grep .tar.gz | sed
's/<li><a\ href="//' | sed 's/">\ flrig.*$//'| sort -r| head -n1)


After this patch the update script does it magic in updating flrig=

Same issue on my fresh BAP3, I have traced it to a change that I had made after install. I had edited /etc/default/gpsd, and changed the hot plug setting to “true”. ?When I changed this back to false, and rebooted, conky will work correctly. For some reason, the hotplug setting messes up conky, xgps, and cgps.?

Hi,

I use the built in soundcard from the FT-991. It works fine with Ardop, JS8Call, WSJTX etc.

I don't have any other soundcards.

I'm starting this discussion in the back of my mind to keep the concept of a SBC in mind.
It even does not make sense for me what I just said, but I hope you catch my drift.
We must keep in mind that we are working with a SBC intended for Robotics, and USB is just not the thing for it.
Hammies can make it work by thinking outside the box, not trying to re-invent the SBC.
We must take the concept of a SBC in mind and work with that (maybe working more with the serial IO and GPIO)
It is just not working because we want to force the SBC to work as a desktop, and its not going to work.
Jason triggered and This Idea with me, by falling back to the microSD as an storage medium. The point is its originally an SBC that is very reliable as an device for Micro Robotics and we have to adjust to that, not by using the limited capabilities and pushing it to hard, but by using it for what it is and stands for, a SBC intended for robotics.
So your thoughts (especially the more technology advanced thinkers may be of huge assistance here) will be much appreciated here.
Lets work with what we have, and not trying to do what its not intended for.
Please leave some comments (any negative or positive is appreciated) and lets discuss how we are going to tackle this problem.

The problem with us and the RasPi, we are pushing the envelope.
It is not meant to be, but we want to force it in a direction we want It to be in.
Its and SBC and meant for SBC robotics with external pins programmable to do stuff
It is not meant to work with USB, USB is a very new concept in Linux and lets be fair, The SBC just cannot achieve what we want it to do on USB, there is just not enough power to drive all the USB devices and still, it is an SBC with not the initial intent to be a field PC for hammies. We just have to think and work outside the box.
So maybe we have to fall back to serial comms but even this have limitations.
If we want to make this work we have to think SBC and not Intel PC, It just won't work, no matter what.
You just cant reinvent the wheel, but you are able to built the body around the simple concept of the wheel.
Maybe the more technical should assist here to make this work, because USB seems not to be the solution, and I do not know what is.
Jason (KM4ACK) is falling back to use the Pi with a micro SD card, and that may be the perfect solution because the Pi is a SBC not intended to work from an external storage device, it is just the way it is, and what we have to work with. Lets have another look at serial comms because this USB thing is just not up to it.

Which sound card are you using? Does the sound card have VOX built in?

Steve,

Try getting the system up and running on a stock configuration. Once you have it running correctly, then try moving to the next step. As it is now, I can't say if your issues are from installation problems, running from the SSD or some other issue trying to overclock the system.

Start by installing the OS and then run build a pi on the SD card. Verify everything works and backup the system. Once verified & backed up, move it to the SSD and confirm it still works. Backup the system. Next move to overclocking if you wish.

This process will allow you to figure out that each steps works before progressing to the next and will make it easier to pinpoint what is causing issues for you.

There was a recent issue discovered with FLRIG not installing correctly. This has been corrected in BAP 3.0.1 that was released yesterday.

KM4ACK actually had me put it there. ?I think it works too because I can transmit APRS texts via dire wolf and Pi APRS

Ok the 4532 port u have is that something you created or what is that ???? I'm new to this Linux stuff my dad would say I know enough to get myself into trouble that's me

Loading a new 27-MAY-2020 RPi OS.

SSH can be enabled but not VNC within the Config window.? VNC is grayed out.

I can add VNC Server for Gnome - it doesn't help.

Scott,

Sorry about that. ?I have it set up as:
PTT RIG 2 localhost:4532

Very respectfully,

Grant

Grant
How do u have direwolf setup for the ptt line /devttyusb0??

Well, I'm sending out APRS text messages just fine as well... Screenshots attached.

I hope everyone had a very nice 4th of July...

I have been having problems with my RPi(4B 4G) and build-a-pi (V3) since before FD.? I think my FT8/FT4 problems were related to the FT4 issue others have seen during FD.? I later found an issue with voltage and overclocking.

After FD (using my Mint laptop for digital modes), I went back and wanted to resolve my PAT "problem".? I ask about TELNET, before FD and got an answer that would work if I had the HTTP page running.? I figured out how to get the HTTP page running for the PAT mail, but I am not sure why it isn't running ("PAT ACTIVE" is active ??).? That got me closer to having PAT working (connecting and sending mail).? Band conditions may be my problem, now with PAT.?

SO, thinking I needed to re-build my OS, I re-build my microSD card.? Now the GPS wasn't running on CONKY.? GPSMON though, has a full load of sat's.? This is when I found flrig does not show as installed.? WSJT-X is installed but does not run. (doesn't show on HTOP, either).? ADD/REMOVE software does NOT show flrig as installed.? Using A/R, I did load and can run flrig (A/D also added fldigi).? I tried downloading wsjt-x 2.2.2 (it would not install).

I also noticed no temperature on CONKY.? BUT, "vcgencmd measure_temp" gives me 42.0C..

NOW, since I was trying to get FT8 to run faster for FD, I had been trying overclocking.? To, setup overclocking:

sudo apt full-upgrade? and?? sudo rpi-update? were run.?

I have since found that in order to get overclocking to work at 2000, I needed to? set over_voltage=6 (not 4).

I have used the overclocking OK with ubuntu mate v20 and wsjt-x, OK.? (I do need to figure out a USB, issue - but it ran).

I am wondering, because "full-upgrade" (etc) will load new (stable) OS "stuff", something has changed where CONKY is looking for data?? It doesn't explain why flrig would not load or why wsjt-x would not run...

BTW, I am using a 12V in "Power Board" for power and using a SSD to boot (OK).? Also boots from microSD.? (SSD re-builds quicker)
