Re: Is it possible to run Pi-Star Digital Voice Dashboard with Build-a-Pi
Even if BAP could be installed, as I mentioned prior the horsepower most likely will not be there. ?We already know once you enable multiple masters and protocols the zero / 3b has trouble with decode/encode functions causing transition delays. ?
We also know that even a 4 can have decode issues with Ft8 and multiple streams. That¡¯s why we tune it and that¡¯s why sometimes messages are delayed just a bit. ?
Not saying either configuration is ¡°bad¡± I have both and my primary radio computer is a pi 4 running BAP. ?Just saying that both of these running together most likely are going to not play nicely.?
Was unaware of the read only file system but that is just a chmod command ?

Re: Is it possible to run Pi-Star Digital Voice Dashboard with Build-a-Pi
Hi,
I am interested in this too.? I have *just* started with pi-star.? Using Putty, I have ssh'ed in,? THere it tells you to run pistar-rw to change from read-only.
I then tried to run the git command for BAP but was told that it won't run from SSH it must be from the desktop.? So next step is to get VNC running in pi-star.
Anyone?

FLDIGI won't install - SOLVED
While attempting to install FLDIGI 4.1.19 on a fresh pi this evening I discovered that it failed due to a missing library. If you run into this, run the following command: sudo apt install libudev-devand then use BAP to install FLDIGI again. A bug report has been created so this can be fixed in the next release of BAP. --

Hi
I think it is possible the wifi on the pi4 went caput, my way of
saying broken. Maybe a
failed solder point on the board.

Ill take a look but i cant understand why 3 sd
cards work in the pi 3's but not the pi 4.?
rfkill may
be enabled. BAP typically takes care of this during the build
but you can unblock it manually by running
sudo rfkill unblock all
and see if that fixes the issue. Get more info on rfkill by
running
man rfkill

Re: Is it possible to run Pi-Star Digital Voice Dashboard with Build-a-Pi
The pistar service is very lightweight that¡¯s why most hotspots are rpi zeroes. Processing power isn¡¯t the issue.
The problem comes in with pistar¡¯s read only disk. I¡¯ve tried adding a desk top or a pbx to an instance of pistar and nothing cooperates with that read only format and there¡¯s no way to turn it off permanently. I hated having separate pi¡¯s for pistar and raspbx but I finally gave up and did it that way.?

Ok. pi4 no internet, same sd card in pi 3s works. Tried 3 sd cards. All 3 ok in pi3, no internet in pi 4. Pi4 new Unit 4 6 weeks in use no prior problems. Obtained a new pi4 all 3 sd cards work in pi3's AND new pi4.?? I have no idea why, im not a computer person.? Reasoned if sd cards work in 2 pi 3's but not in a 4 must be a unit problem? Strange the original pi4 worked for 4 to 6 weeks. Mike kc5bg

??? update_config=1
??? country=US
If the country=US line is missing or incorrect just sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf and manually edit the file to add it and then reboot the pi and see if that fixes it.

Re: Is it possible to run Pi-Star Digital Voice Dashboard with Build-a-Pi
I've only ever seen Pi-star images, not just an app...you can swap out SD cards to go between the two but I'm not aware of a Pi-star app, myself...just the whole image.

Re: no wireless interface found (?)
Thanks, that script restored the BAP function! Now everything is working again (did I mention that a changed IP address is a real pain?) and the only thing I seem to have lost are some of the wallpaper choices I had before, but that is trivial and I can download something for that.

Re: No Gridsquare in Conky but cgps gives me good information.
There is a space after cat. It appears you might be missing a couple of ruby gems. Run the following two commands sudo gem install gpsd_clientsudo gem install maidenhead
and then try /home/pi/bin/conky/gridcat /run/user/$UID/gridinfo.txt
again. --

Re: no wireless interface found (?)
Vic, You may have deleted part or all of the pi-build directory when you attempted to update but wasn't connected to the internet. To recover, run the following: cdrm -rf ~/pi-buildgit clone https://github.com/km4ack/pi-build.git--

Re: No Gridsquare in Conky but cgps gives me good information.
Good morning,
Here are the results from the above commands:
/home/pi/bin/conky/grid
Traceback (most recent call last):
2: from /home/pi/bin/conky/get-grid:3:in? '<main>'
1: from /usr/lib/ruby/2.5.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:59:in? 'require'
/usr/lib/ruby/2.5.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:59:in? 'require' : cannot load such file -- gpsd_client? (LoadError)
Next Command (I could not tell if there was supposed to be a space after cat so I tried running it both ways):
cat/run/user/$UID/gridinfo.txt/
bash: cat/run/user/1000/gridinfo.txt: No such file or directory
And then with the space:
cat /run/user/$UID/gridinfo.txt
With the space after cat it returned a blank line and nothing else.
I hope this information is helpful!!
Have a great day!

Re: Battery vs. Power Supply
Thank you to everyone who has given me advice on this issue.? I have
gotten great lessons in battery chemistry and management.? I also
realize too that I had greater expectations on my battery than it
could deliver.? I am planning an upgrade of my photovoltaic system
including batteries with greater capacity. So I expect that will get
my TX up to 100w.? I don't plan on running an afterburner, aka
amplifier, figuring I can compensate for more power (sorry, Tim
Taylor) with my location (high, surrounded by salt water) and? good
antennas.?
I am one of two radio amateurs on the island.? The one has a "super
station" but is 100% dependent on the grid.? I prefer to work
portable and off grid.? One never knows if and for how long the
electricity will be cut off here.? No APRS activity here, but I do
have some good (PAT) Winlink connections up in Switzerand and
Germany so I can get information out and receive it.? Not many
people here are impressed with the communications possibilities of
amateur radio.? Too into internet and 3g/4g/5g cellphone service, I
guess.
Vy 73 to all Ops!

I also agree with Ed, especially regarding the C rating of your
LiFEPO4 batteries. I built a solar generator based on Julian¡¯s
(OH8STN) 576W design and when researching this chemistry I found
there was a wide range of C values, which tells the amperage that
the cells can put out. It would be interesting to see what your
cells¡¯ C rating is.
BTW, operating in an olive grove surrounded by salt water sounds
like a very pleasant operating environment!

Re: No Gridsquare in Conky but cgps gives me good information.
Don't see anything unusual in the report. Run this command please: /home/pi/bin/conky/gridSee if there are any errors. Then run this command and let me know the output. cat /run/user/$UID/gridinfo.txt

Re: Is it possible to run Pi-Star Digital Voice Dashboard with Build-a-Pi
BAP is an install script.? So if you flash the pi-star then connect via SSH then you could run the script IF the pi-star base OS meets the OS requirements.
I have to say based on my pi-star hotspot, I do not think the Pi is strong enough to operate most tools in the BAP and a hot spot simultaneously, especially in a model 3b.? I have not tried it but just thinking about it, I do not think it will.

I am running Build A Pi, on a Pi 3B+ and using a Ingcool 7IP-caplcd Hdmi 1024x600 pixels, 7¡± touch screen.?

Is there any way of doing so? If yes, how?
