Did you install Conky & the GPS software with BAP or is this a manual install? Do you have GPS data when you run "cgps"? Post your conkyrc file.

Thanks Mike. But really wanna get it working with FLRIG allowing me to fast swap between my rigs?

She's up and running! Great job Jason! I appreciate your help.

All,

I followe the GPS/Conky video and I am still having issues with the gridsquare appearing in conky.

I also noticed this while troubleshooting:

Thank you for this. The logdump file that is created is only capturing an hour or so of activity, and the kern.log appears to overwrite at midnight. How can I capture more logging time with these? Thank you.?

Cool, let’s see if we can solve the issue. With the 705 you must use rig control for PTT. There are several ways to accomplish this but we will use FLRIG in this case. First it is critical that FLRIG is talking to the radio. Verify that you can change frequency and that you can key the radio using the PTT button in FLRIG. If either of these fail, you need to solve this before proceeding.

Verify that the “#” is removed in the direwolf.conf file for this line:
PTT RIG 2 localhost:4532

Now that we have FLRIG configured, let’s start the rig control daemon:
/usr/local/bin/rigctld -m 4
Note the “d” at the end of rigctl in the above command.

Now we can start direwolf and shouldn’t have any errors.
/usr/local/bin/direwolf -p

A brief explanation:
FLRIG is our GUI interface to the radio. The daemon listens for commands and passes them to FLRIG. In the direwolf.conf file we are telling direwolf to use RIG 2 which is NET or our local network on the Pi which the daemon is listening. The nice part of this configuration is that if you decide to change rigs, you only need to reconfigure FLRIG for the new radio and the other commands will remain the same. This makes is super simple when writing scripts to start different services as we can reuse the same commands time and time again. The only real downside is that FLRIG has to be running for this to work.

Side note: For packet winlink, all of the above happens in the background if you configure and use Pat Menu to start the packet modem.

On my Pi3B my Conky displays shows "No Address" for the Wired IP Address field. If I enable the hotspot, it displays an IP address for the Wireless IP Address field, but still no wired address. Obviously it has connectivity since I can VNC into it. But I also ran ifconfig to see that the address was correct.

My BAP is version 3.2

Hi there.?

I own one of the Chinese USDR ~3w HF radios. They can run digital using the Kenwood TS-480 cat controls. I confirmed this on wsjtx today. ?However … under FLRIG there are 2 480s, ?a 480SAT and a 480XT. ?Neither get a response from the radio with the same baud rate and device settings as WSJTX. Any ideas??

Hey Jason,
Version is hamlib 4.4 Thu 02 23:46:51 2021 *000 SHA=5f8c4c (most recent ver on Bullseye and BAP)
I have tried to connect with and without rigctl and I'm wanting to use APRS (xastir) and packet winlink but I haven't been able to do either.

Debugging spurious reboots can be tedious and time-consuming.? Your goal is to find some cookie crumbs that will lead you to the culprit.? Unfortunately, there are many ways to reboot a system.

- Make sure there are no other user accounts with cron jobs:

- Examine syslog very carefully for any error indications just prior to midnight.? You can dump the log to a file with:?journalctl > /tmp/logdump? If the system is being commanded to reboot, there should be messages with "Stopped" or "Stopping" as the reboot begins executing.? Another log to examine would be /var/log/kern.log.

- Replace?reboot and?shutdown with scripts that dump out system state, then continue on with the restart.? A sample of how to do this with reboot:

Hi Bill

Yes, but I think I prefer to wait to get it as an .iso but I may try the upgrade on the disk

I have it loaded to, I use a USB3 64GB disk to boot it. It does run about as fast as the

internal disk with Ubuntu 20.04 loaded, the problem I have is that with Ubuntu I can turn

off the touchpad with a tool included with Ubuntu, and with the Raspi OS there isn't a way to

turn off the touchpad. Somewhat of a small thing but there it is.

I may download an iso of Bullseye Debian and see if that works any better.

Thanks

Several questions for you as it looks like the issue is with hamlib. Which version do you have installed? Run:
rigctl --version

Do you have FLRIG configured for the 705?
Is FLRIG running when you get the above error?
What are you trying to accomplish with direwolf (APRS, Winlink, etc)?

Has anyone had any luck getting direwolf to connect with the IC-705? I have tried normal config with flrig. I have also deleted the # for PTT RIG 2 localhost:4532. I get errors when I run direwolf from terminal using "direwolf -p"
"Audio device for both receive and transmit: plughw:3,0? (channel 0)
Channel 0: 1200 baud, AFSK 1200 & 2200 Hz, E+, 44100 sample rate / 3.
Hamlib Rig open error -6: IO error
network.c(301):network_open return(-6)
iofunc.c(177):port_open return(-6)
rig.c(800):rig_open return(-6)"

worked like a charm! Thanks Jason

Glad it worked for you, Wally. Happy to help.

Julian

Anyone tried running it on this Pi? (with the build-a-pi SD card)
It appears to run OK but I can't find/access the winkeyer.
Using it and the audio board may be useful.
I've 'outgrown' using the RSS distribution

No crontab for root.?

I will ask around some more and let you know what I find thank you.
