Connecting the Blue Tooth to FT817

 

Hi

I have created the new Bullseye Raspian OS and done the BAP.

I need to get the Blue Tooth connected is it in BAP or do I need

to re-educate myself on how to do that?

I haven't looked in BAP yet will do that this afternoon, didn't think

of that till now. I hope so but if now anyone have the instructions?

I have successfully got my 7100 to work with PAT and winlink. Thanks!
Now I have been trying to connect my FT 2900? to PAT via a USB signalink. It broadcasts but I get a "CONNECTION REFUSED" error. I am not using rigctrl and my winlink password is correct. Also when I installed PAT and ax25 and Direwolf, I didn't install arpdop but PAT config has it configured. How can I get ardop removed from the config, how can I get the connection refused error cleared and how can I remove BAP and start again with the correct config without having to wipe my microSD card every time and start fresh? I have an ssd card that I am waiting to put into play on this pi.

Thanks in advance,
Wally

It¡¯s set correctly, for example Zulu= 12:00 local =13:00, if conky gets time from gps it shows Zulu=06:xx local=07:xx cgps shows correctly 12:00

Can't say that I have run into this before. Post your .conkyrc file and I'll see if I can spot any issues.

Re: BAP 3.2.1 Conky

 

It may take the system a couple of minutes to update the time in Conky. Also, note that conky shows local time & zulu time. One last thing is to make sure you have set your time zone in Pi preferences.

You should see something like

note: the difference between the CM108 and CM119 chip is the PID USB identifier:

You need to give the HID device kernel permission, as described in ?
The HID device driver asserts pin 13 on the CM108 or CM119 to drive PTT.

Adding ¡°PTT CM108¡± to /home/<user>/direwolf.conf should work with version 1.6 or later in Linux.
Make sure you commented out the other PTT configuration options.

In BAP, Programs | Ham Radio | Dire Wolf should be on the GUI Desktop menu.
If not you need to install or build direwolf.

Make sure direwolf is running:
ps -A | grep direwolf
You shold see something like:

If direwolf is not running, install the latest direwolf package (v1.6 released)

Better: Build and install the latest direwolf version 1.7, as described in

Direwolf can run as a standalone digipeater.

Thanks for the reply, I¡¯ll try again with rigctl and have another look in the Direwolf group ¨C I did some searching without finding an obvious solution so will post direct and see if a solution presents.

Hey Steve,

I don't have one if the DINAH sound cards to test with. I believe you would only need to get the PTT line configured in direwolf for the card. You might ask in the direwolf forum /g/direwolf/topics and see if anyone there might be able to point you in a good direction. One thing that you will need installed that I didn't use in the Winlink gateway video is hamlib (rigctl). If you didn't install it the first time before installing direwolf, you will need to reinstall both so that direwolf is compiled with rigctl. Please understand this is an educated guess since I don't have the sound card here to test with.

Stem project

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Hello,

I¡¯m working with three schools on STEM (science technology engineering and math) projects. We will be launching high altitude balloons for each school flying home made loggers in the payload. (They are learning arduino, electronics, coding, and will be doing some data modeling with the logged data with python) One school I have 3 students who obtained their licensee and the 4th is taking his exam this weekend. I¡¯m really pushing them to get licensed as it would be a lot cooler to see the tracker flying with one of their call signs than mine.

We will be flying the light aprs +wspr tracker which will give us both aprs and wspr tracking of the balloon in flight.

As a reward I¡¯d like to get them going on some cool projects with a pi and modest priced ht radio. What projects would you all recommend or have you done that I can keep the fire going with this young hams?

Thanks, Tom

Yea. And it gets a valid IP address for my network. That¡¯s the way I can VNC into it.?

Re: Drivers for IC 7100

 

I, would still be interested on how this was resolved.
You don't have to download the drivers on a Linux system. They are already built into the kernal. Jim was simply selecting the wrong port for the radio. Once he chose the other port, FLRIG connected to the radio.

Re: Winlink Gateway -> DINAH and Direwolf

 

G¡¯day Jason (and the group)!
?
I¡¯ve been following BAP and your videos for a while and your video on the Winlink Gateway really caught my attention as it was something I¡¯ve been wanting to do for quite a while as there are not many gateways in VK and I wanted to change that.
?
Your video from December ¡°Winlink Gateway on a Raspberry Pi LinBPQ¡± was exactly what I was looking for, it went exactly as you depicted it, it is so nice when a project works out of the box so to speak!
?
My only issue is that I don¡¯t have a Signal Link (very expensive and difficult to source in Australia) so would like to use my DINAH interface () instead.
?
I¡¯ve read the docs, I get the impression that if I added ¡°PTT CM108¡± to direwolf.conf I should be ok.....
?
Sadly that did not work so I¡¯m throwing it out there seeking guidance from the experts on how to get the DINAH to transmit under Direwolf.

BAP 3.2.1 Conky

 

Hi
as I have no Internet, I found out another issue regarding Conky: It seems so, that gps only updated the date, but not the time. Looking on xgps I see the right time, but Conky displays a complete other time

Re: Winlink Gateway -> DINAH and Direwolf

Hi Don,
?
Thanks for the reply, AFAIK FL rig isn¡¯t in the mix, the software is just Direwolf and Lin BPQ.
?
About the only extra information I can add is that I am trying to establish a 2m Gateway and that the DINAH uses GPIO3 on the CM119B chip.
?
All the best!

Re: Winlink Gateway -> DINAH and Direwolf

 

I have a Master Communication DRA 36 and I'm running on Hamvoip. I had to switch a pin to make it work on the Allstar node I have from regular soundcard?use.

I never tried it on Build a Pi. I do know in Winlink Express I used UZ7HO. I had to download PTT.DLL.zip from the UZ7HO web page so UZ7HO PTT the radio.

I imagine that in Build a PI Flrig?is Ptting?the radio and if you point pnp codec of C media chip it should work.?

Good Luck
