After the failure, I assume it didn't try sourceforge?

Re: Ic 7610 & v3 pi build.

 

I was able to get it going. ?On the previous BAP version, I was using hamlib to control the radio so the data mode had to be on PKT/DATA, not usb. ?However, for BAP 3 using FLrig, I had to set it to USB. ?Now it works like a charm. ?


Re: Interrupting Autopat

 

Easiest way is to click the stop modems button in Pat Menu.

Interrupting Autopat

 

I am curious how one goes about stopping autopat without having to turn off the radio and turn it back on. ?

When I interrupt autopat to stop it, it locks my radio up in transmit mode. ?I can completely close out pat menu and FLrig but that does no good. ?I have to power cycle the radio to get back to normal. ?

Any ideas?


Re: Weird GPS problems

Kevin Scott
 

I think you are onto something with the plastic case.?? I pulled the Pi out of that fancy all aluminum "cooling" case, with dual fans.? Attached the "MakerFocus Raspberry Pi 4 Power Expansion Board", rebooted the system and the GPS came right up...? So far its been running well, seeing 8 Sats from within my Radio room.? It may be a little early to pass final judgement but ditching the Aluminum cooling case seems to have stabilized my Pi. Its also being feed from my 12Vdc power supply (the same one feeding the radio).

I have everything plugged into the USB extension cables (Except the USB interface to the FT-891which is plugged into a USB3 port).? The goofy behavior I saw happened with the extension cables, so I don't think the contributed or helped my situation.

I'll let folks know if this truly solves my issue, then I will try plugging in a external USB memory stick :-)

Re: No input audio

 

I haven't used that sound card but use a similar one. Did you look at both the internal sound card & the USB card in alsa? If so, try adjusting the audio level in pulse audio as well. I doubt the card itself is the issue.

Re: Missing Build-A-Pi command in Preferences

 

In terminal run the following command

sudo nano /usr/share/applications/build-a-pi.desktop

This should open a blank document. Paste in the following lines:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Build-a-Pi
GenericName=KM4ACK Build-a-Pi
Comment=Build-a-Pi App Manager
Exec=/home/pi/pi-build/update
Icon=/home/pi/pi-build/logo.png
Terminal=true
Type=Application
Categories=Settings;DesktopSettings;GTK;X-LXDE-Settings;

Now press ctrl+s on the keyboard followed by ctrl+x to save and exit. The icon should appear in your pi menu under preferences.

Re: wsjtx and fldigi not installing

 

Hi
I'm more of a noobie with Git, see below.
=========================================================
pi@raspberrypi:~/pi-build $ git checkout dev
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by checkout:
build-a-pi
Please commit your changes or stash them before you switch branches.
Aborting
pi@raspberrypi:~/pi-build $

==========================================================
Then I tried to tell Git who I was by below
===========================================================
pi@raspberrypi:~/pi-build $ git commit

*** Please tell me who you are.

Run

? git config --global user.email "you@..."

===========================================================
I did with my email address & Then tried git commit
===========================================================
pi@raspberrypi:~/pi-build $ git commit

*** Please tell me who you are.

Run

? git config --global user.email "you@..."
? git config --global "Your Name"

to set your account's default identity.
Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.

fatal: empty ident name (for <davekh@...>) not allowed
========================================================

I tried it without --global?? but can feel myself going away from where the problem is.

Regards
Dave

I included what I hope to be a work around for you in the dev version of BAP. If you want to test, do the following:

cd ~/pi-build
git checkout dev
git pull

Now run the update script from the Pi Menu and ONLY choose WSJTX. Please let me know if it works or fails. After the install attempt run

cd ~/pi-build
git checkout master

This will get you out of the development code and back to the stable version.

Re: No input audio

 

Yes, I installed pulse audio....I've checked alsamixer and volume is at 100. I have the Ugreen USB soundcard. Never had a problem with it on my Windows computer . Do you think I need a different soundcard?


Re: I did it

 

Woohoo! Welcome to the pi addiction :-)

I did it

Bryan Sanders
 

Well I took the plunge and bought a Pi4 kit.? I will be using this as a desktop and my station desk.? I plan on using it for digital modes and general web browsing.? I am looking forward to learning how to operate it and learn the system.

Bryan, NU8J


Re: Fresh install last night, the BAP, then straight after last reboot of install VNC says "cannot currently show the desktop"

 

ended up blasting everything away and starting afresh - that fixed it.
