Re: Build-a-pi v3.0.3 beta
Yep, already knew all of that....but I am encouraged by your quick reply !!
Anyways I am having a devil of a time with the "raspberryconnect" stuff that is at the heart of the HOTSPOT. Seems like an underlying bug of some sort. Alas the problem is that the password handshaking doesn't complete with various devices I have tried it with hereabouts. Really sad. (And yes I "could" develop a testing protocol to get at the heart of the problem, but that will have to wait.) Anyways that was the last of **several** coding wrinkles that were preventing uploading the "Headless and Wireless from the Get-Go" manifesto... hi hi. EVERYTHING is now fixed (as near as I can test) so...........; I will get that going before the end of Friday as I refuse to let this HOTSPOT poop "rule my roost" or further stand in the way of progress. es vy 73 om de "baab" w9ya |
Re: FT-891 and WSJT-X irregular transmission
I've tested several different configurations with cables, removed GPS, USB hubs and not,? and added ferrite beads (maybe I need different beads, recommendations?). Only thing I haven't done yet is shorten my USB cable and I'm afraid to do that. Will probably try to find a shorter one.? All of that to say I still haven't solved the issue. Now that I understand what is going on, my setup is pretty much unusable. I'll get a CQ to transmit, get a few replies and then can't get a transmit signal out again to answer in a timely manner.? Any other suggestions? Try a different sound card (Signalink) or other sound cable source? To sum up, system seems to work just fine when something is transmitted. I have made QSOs and my signal is going around the world when it leaves the shack. Thanks?again, J.

Re: Sound card for raspberry pi4
That's a bit like asking what's the best radio or how long is a piece of string? It's been typically thought that you need to have good isolation between computer and radio so signal link, MiniProSC? or equivalent has been the go to for many years, however a simple USB sound card will also provide a decent result.? Check out Julian OH8STN's video on his ideal build which uses the Sabrent sound card?? I originally?used one of these as it doesn't need drivers and works well.? More recently?I've tried?a much cheaper version from Adafruit their 1475 audio adaptor which they recommend?for the pi and seems to be just as good??after I left my Sabrent somewhere and needed a quick replacement. To make life easy I removed the case and made up a cable by soldering a line from the correct pins for mic & audio etc from the ACC plug for my Yaesu 817 to the sound card inputs and shrink wrapped everything.? Cheap, effective and I haven't noticed any problems so far although I wouldn't be surprised?if the USB ports had potential to inject some noise to the system.

Re: Build-a-pi v3.0.3 beta
1) - Conky sets to LARGE...it would be great if there was some way to set this within BAP ! (I'm suing vnc to a 1024x768 window....and medium is all it can do to show ALL of conky's info.)Run this command to change Conky: bash ~/pi-build/conky/setconky In an upcoming release (probably 3.0.4) the setconky option will be available from the main pi menu. 2) - It took 4 attempts to fully load all of the packages that BAP allows you to select. I *know* this could be due to most anything, and not a problem for BAP directly, but PERHAPS somewhere in the docs this should be mentioned. (I'm not sure even IF this should be mentioned, but it was a bit disconcerting.)Build a pi is set to only try each download a couple of times and move on if it can't access the website. This prevents it from getting hung on any particular download. However, I have seen this cause the issue you describe on slower internet connections or congested sites. -- 73, de KM4ACK

Re: Flrig and WJST
Power cycle the 7300 when you've closed one app & then open the other.? Or, use flrig as your CAT control for WSJT. 73, Kevin Potter? k5vp On Mon, Aug 3, 2020 at 6:12 PM Bryan Sanders <flyfshn76@...> wrote: Maybe someone can help me to figure why this is happening.

Re: Build-a-pi v3.0.3 beta
Been playing with the new version of BAP.....
TWO comments; 1) - Conky sets to LARGE...it would be great if there was some way to set this within BAP !

Re: Build a Pi 3.0.2 released
I originally tried running this over the top of my existing build... you know... did it exactly like you said not to :) The idea was that it would "make my new GPS work". I have the BU-353 S4 USB GPS Receiver and initially it didn't work. I had already flashed a backup SIM with Raspabian so it wasn't hard to start fresh. I did the reboot for the install about an hour ago and everything, including the GPS, works. I'm in NW New Mexico, in a house that is stucco'd exterior walls (metal mesh holds that on, and a metal roof. The GPS is sitting on a window sill and when I checked it, all but one satellite was being used. When it worked, the other GPS rarely got a lock and most of the time it only saw 3 or 4 satellites max. Now to take it out and actually try to use it in the field.? Nicely done Jason. |
