Re: OS upgrade

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Every one of my attempted Bullseye upgrades has gone poorly.? Every one that worked I started from a clean install.

Of course AFTER finishing I saw where Jason recommended not doing it this way and starting with a fresh load.....

So, is there an easy way to get this back how it was or should I just reload from scratch?

Thanks.

Re: Baofeng uv5r, Direwolf and YACC Not Transmitting

 

The baofeng cable you mention is TRRS. Is your sound card TRRS or TRS? If it is TRS, you may need an adapter to get this working.?

As a side note, you may find it very disappointing to use VOX on the baofeng for digital especially when it comes to APRS. After transmitting, the VOX is very (1-1.5 seconds) slow to return to receive. Because of this, the vast majority of responses to your packets will be missed. As an example, your digi transmits a message that is received by a mobile station. The mobile station will return an "ack" letting your digi know that the message was received. Because of the long VOX hang time, your station will never hear the ack. Using the baofeng as a receive only igate would be a better solution.

As Phil mentioned, there are DIY cables that can be built to overcome this. There are also commercial solutions like the digirig

Re: Heads-up for Canadian Miady battery (or alternate!)

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Here's the one I made.

I started here:

Julian has a LOT of great information on portable and off grid ops.

The BMS is an APEX that I? got off .

We 3D printed the top and bottom covers to make it safer.? The copper top was a nice touch.? Some people use a large piece of heat shrink to protect the exposed connections.? I still haven't mounted the BMS but plan on tidying things up so it isn't just flopping around.? I am planning to install it along with some other hardware in a 50 cal ammo can for a go-box.

Everything else is pretty much as OH8STN lists it. The cells are sized 10Ah 38120.? The spacers and bridge bars come with the cells.? Nothing seemed particularly hard to get.? I had the ribbon cable, tiny 4 plug connectors, powerpole connectors, and the wire already.? I just had to solder it together.? Watch those cells when you're bolting them up, you don't want to short anything together, they'll give quite a zap.

Good Luck!

Re: User guide to start-up #ardop #pat-mail #direwolf

 

For 2M Winlink connections, you will need the following installed at a minimum:
direwolf
ax25
pat
pat menu

For HF ARDOP Winlink connections, you will also need:
ARDOP
ARDOP GUI

All of the above can be installed via Build a Pi. Before we can get into more details about configuration, which radio and sound card are you using?

Re: Baofeng uv5r, Direwolf and YACC Not Transmitting

 

I've not played with using vox for this, but I have keyed a BaoFeng by wiring my connector lead to use GPIO5, and set? Direwolf to pull it low for PTT.

I clicked on the sound icon on the upper right hand corner of the pi's screen and slid volume bar up.

Re: Baofeng uv5r, Direwolf and YACC Not Transmitting

 

When I had trouble transmitting, the volume on my pi was too low. Try turning up the system volume on your pi.

Digirig and Pat Winlink

 

It has been a while since I flashed KM4ACK Build a Pi. Although I've watched videos etc. Trying to modify the BAP PI via VNC using my Android Pad. What I can do on te desktop I can't seem to do on the Android.

I see port 8080. I thought It was 5000. I need to use my Toughbook tomorrow. I did get FLrig and JS8call. I did try and connect with a station. I only say 2 stations. Quite a few did pick up my 40 M Hamstick and 20-watt Xiegu G 90.

Re: Docker Pi Power Board SW Install Error -- SOLVED

 

Need to install WiringPi. All the sources said that this is supposed to be part of the normal RasPi install.

Per

Just a quick post to let you know that you¡¯ll need a new wiringPi for the Raspberry Pi 4B.

To upgrade:

cd /tmp
wget https://project-downloads.drogon.net/wiringpi-latest.deb
sudo dpkg -i wiringpi-latest.deb

Check with:

gpio -v

and make sure it¡¯s version 2.52. I¡¯ll push the updated sources shortly.

Reinstall the software for the Docker Pi Power Board and it worked.

Re: Dual monitors?

 

I just hooked up two hdmi monitors to my RPi 4. I am running BAP and WSJT-X. I did have to do a file edit to get my usb sound card to be usable.
