Re: Building js8call and wsjtx under Raspberry Pi OS - Bullseye

 

Awesome instructions! Im brand new to the pi, so im basically copy and pasting here.

Now, Im getting an error while installing js8 this way and i was hoping you could help. Ill attach a picture with this response.

Thank you for any help!

And for reference, im using a 3B+


Re: I can't get Pi-APRS to PTT (Direwolf issue?)

 

First run this command:
whereis rigctld
and it will return something like:
rigctld: /usr/local/bin/rigctld
which indicates that rigctld is located at /usr/local/bin/ If yours is different you will need to modify the command below.

In the pi aprs directory, you will find a file called functions. Just above add:
/usr/local/bin/rigctld -m 4 &
save and exit. Now try the starting the modem and see if it works as expected.

Re: Winlink Gateway -> DINAH and Direwolf

 


Re: I can't get Pi-APRS to PTT (Direwolf issue?)

 

Thanks Jason,

That fixed it.? Is there a way to run the "rigctld -m 4" command from a batch file when Pi-APRS starts up?

Re: RTC config DS-3231

 

I found a website



that supposedly makes installing a ds-3231 easy-peasy.? I tried it, and we will see if it worked the next time I visit my shack and have no internet (gps turned off).? The author has two small errors that you? should be aware of.? First,

the ./install.sh is not in the top directory PI-HAT but in the next lower one, "tools"

Second, the command to check the driver installation is missing a "." in front of the forward slash.

Just be aware of this if you cut and paste, like I do.?

In any case, the command reported:

pi@david:~/pi-hats/tools $ ./install.sh -l
rtc_ds1307??? : not installed
rtc_ds3231??? : installed
adc_ads1115?? : not installed


RTC config DS-3231

 

Hi Jason!? I watched your video? again.

Real Time Clock Script for Raspberry Pi



I think I know why I am having a problem with the rtc install in BAP.

I have a DS-3231 rtc module. I see you are using a DS-1307 rtc module. What must I do/change to install this rtc version? Thx!

Re: Buster or Bullseye

 

I have been running Bullseye on a 32 bit system without any issues. Currently the 64 bit OS isn't ready for prime time in my opinion.

That video was made on a 32 bit system. I haven't confirmed it will work on the 64 bit OS.

Re: I can't get Pi-APRS to PTT (Direwolf issue?)

 

Change the PTT line in direwolf.conf to:
PTT RIG 2 localhost:4532

Make sure FLRIG is open first, then open Pi-APRS and test again. Should that fail, close Pi-APRS. Open a terminal window and run
rigctld -m 4
It will appear to hang but that is ok. Now open Pi-APRS and try one more time. I don't have a rig setup at the moment to test with. Hence, the two different answers.

Buster or Bullseye

 

Are the bugs worked out with BAP and Bullseye enough to rely on for Emcomm? Or stay with Buster?
Thanks

#gps #bullseye #gps #bullseye

 

(Thanks for all you do!) working through all the build a pi stuff I can't get my pi to connect to phone gps. I have pi connected by wire and wireless to router. chose wireless. I am SSH into pi from Macbook air and using screen sharing to view pi headless from Mac. When I try to work through the "Stream Mobile Phone GPS to Raspberry Pi" I can't get the GPS to work. I have a Pi 4, using bullseye 64 bit. Entered IP listed in hostname -I on GPS2IP app on iPhone. used that IP and same port number on both phone and in the udp://ip:port. When I type the cgps command the screen comes up for GPS data, but nothing is filled in and it times out. Any idea what I am doing wrong, or what I can do to fix? I did run the GPS update tool.

thanks again for everything you are doing here.?


I can't get Pi-APRS to PTT (Direwolf issue?)

 

Hi All,

I'm using BAP 3.1.3 on a Pi4 with Buster, my radio is a Yaesu FT-991A. ? Everything except Pi-APRS is running fine (JS8Call, Flrig, Fldigi).? I'm receiving packets but when I click 'Send Position' my packet info goes to the pi-aprs screen but the PTT doesn't get activated.

I un-rem'd the following in direwolf.conf:

ADEVICE? plughw2,0
MYCALL? NM5XD
MODEM? 1200
PTT? /dev/ttyUSB0 RTS DTR?? (I added DTR based on one of youtube video I watched)
AGWPORT? 8000
KISSPORT 8001
IGTXLIMIT? 6 10 (I don't think I un-rem'd this but it's un-rem'd)
There's a bunch of TTPOINT and TTMACRO stuff that's not rem'd but I'm sure the conf file came that way

I've searched to far ends of the internet and tried everything I can think of but no luck.? Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Fritz NM5XD

P.S. my USB gps quit working when I installed Pi-APRS and Direwolf. I'm not sure what I did but I'd welcome any thoughts on that also.
Thanks again

Hamlib shouldn't install by default but some applications (WSJTX) require it to be installed. So even if you didn't choose hamlib but choose to install WSJTX, hamlib would be installed in order for that application to build correctly.

Pat configure is setup for rig control during the BAP install. You can enable Pat Winlink rig control in the Pat Menu settings. It is designed to work with FLRIG though there are other ways to get rig control working without using FLRIG. You will see the "unable to get frequency from my_rig...." because the rig control is defined in pat configure even though you aren't using it in your case.

Re: Pat Winlink Auto Download of RMS "Grid square not set in Pat configure" error

 

Thank you Jason,

I did that and it showed me as being current and the latest being pulled already.

I realized however I'm on the 64 bit version of raspbien so I'm re-flashing the 32 bit version. I'm guessing it's an issue with the 64 bit version. 73s
Pat won't install with BAP (stable version) on the 64 bit OS as of right now. It is working on the dev version of BAP. It should work fine on the 32 bit version.

No, it's not limited to the 64-bit version. I'm still on the 32-bit version and have the same problem both with Bullseye (and, if I remember correctly, also with Buster... but not sure of that).
Did you try following the directions mentioned in this thread to remedy the issue?

ft 891 and the sabrent usb card. with js8call it will decode and ptt, But no alc going out. tried poking around with different radio setting and sound setting without any luck.
