Re: Pi4 Headless with BAP

 

Use Raspberry Pi Imager to load the image file to an SD card.? Before selecting the image file, press Ctrl-Shift-X and you can enable SSH, configure the Wifi, and other customizations.??

Re: Pat Winlink latest update

 

There is a bug in the latest PAT-Winlink and forms handling on the Pi.? Some folders in the Standard_Forms will not display in the templates of PAT Winlink.? The developers have discovered that if the forms are not formatted the way there were expecting, they do not display.? They will work on this bug.? It affects he radiogram &RRI, USGS and CRMI folders.


Re: FLDIGI won't install - SOLVED

 

This also fixes an issue with trying to update FLRIG/FLDIGI. I was trying to figure out what was going wrong because FLRIG/FLDIGI kept saying needs an update when I checked with BAP updater.

I ran the command stated in the original post, and bam, they both updated just fine, and they both show that they have the latest version installed.

I also caught the livestream with Ham Radio 2.0 and the livestream was great information. I decided to give FLRIG an honest try both on my Macbook Air and my Reaspberry Pi. I am impressed with once I figured out how to use it, it really is a lot more solid connecting to both my FTDX-10 and my IC-705 and using WSJT-x is a lot easier to connect through FLRIG than to try to get it working just from WSJT-x directly.

Thank you for the livestream and the information that you gave us. It really helped a lot.

Now I am off to try to figure out what happened to one of my Raspberry Pi since it will not boot up anymore. I might have to reimage the MicroSD card since I think I had a momentary loss of power with it.


Re: GPS Dongle

 

Sounds like I might need to backup my WSJT-X files and start with a fresh BAP install.? Might have some weird corruption or mis-configuration.

Re: Build a Pi Update

 

Ok, found the answer in #992


Re: GPS Dongle

 

I don't know. I have 2 different USB GPS units, on 2 different Pis (3B+ and 4B-4GB)
Both show in dmesg as
[??? 3.280228] 3f201000.serial: ttyAMA0 at MMIO 0x3f201000 (irq = 114, base_baud = 0) is a PL011 rev2
and then I edit /etc/default/gpsd.conf as previously noted for me:
DEVICE="/dev/ttyAMA0"
(note: I suggested /dev/ttyACM0 due to your dmesg report, thinking it was due to maybe other USB hardware installed)
On my Pi3B+ I use a DreamCheeky LED display to show the time.
On the Pi4-4GB I use conky to display all the usual stuff.
The only other thing I had to do to enable GPSD was to run
sudo systemctl enable gpsd
sudo systemctl start gpsd
and if it's been powered on a while (several minutes) it almost immediately starts showing stuff in
cgps -s
To have either Pi use the GPS for time, I add ntp
sudo apt install ntp
and modify /etc/ntp.conf
# to all the references to pool.ntp.org
and add the lines just below that:
# GPS Serial data reference
server 127.127.28.0 minpoll 4 maxpoll 4
fudge 127.127.28.0 time1 0.0 refid GPS


Build a Pi Update

 

Booted the Pi a few minutes ago and got a request for Build-a-pi" update.
I consented and the update apparently ran.
Now, when trying to run Build-a-Pi i get this error

Invalid desktop entry file '/usr/share/applications/build-a-pi. desktop'

What is that?

Re: GPS Dongle

 

Kevin,

It was a good thought, and I wondered about that.? I edited gpsd and commented out the existing devices, and copied in the line you said to try.? Rebooted and gave the system some time 10-20 min to automaticly come up.? But Gridsquare never populated.? I pulled up XGPS and it was blank.

Here is what the last line of dmesg has and then specifically dmesg | grep ttyAMA0....

[ 1158.979607] v3d fec00000.v3d: MMU error from client L2T (0) at 0x941000, pte invalid
pi@hfpi:~ $ dmesg | grep ttyAMA0
[? ? 1.494562] fe201000.serial: ttyAMA0 at MMIO 0xfe201000 (irq = 36, base_baud = 0) is a PL011 rev2

I'm at work today, but as long as I don't have to unplug something, I'd be willing to try just about anything.

Thanks.

Re: Pat Winlink latest update

 

Well, at least you found a solution!?

Re: Trouble with mobilinkd patron

 

So, ill answer my own question after countless hours of fapping about accomplishing very little i decided to start over from square one....

and it would appear that for some god awful reason my direwolf.conf file got messed up somehow and where this was supposed to be there was nothing

ADEVICE? plughw:1,0

fixing that appears to have solved my issue and its working again.... Sometimes i think my pi is intentionally trolling me.....


Re: Conky not showing correct time and date

Thanks, all. I am connected by WiFi to internet. The DRAWS attached has a clock but no battery till tomorrow ?. Gpsmon shows connection to satellites but pi doesn¡¯t update. It was working till last weekend.?

?Kevin is correct. You will either need a GPS or a RTC if not connected to the internet because the Pi doesn't have a RTC built in. A cheap/easy way is to share the GPS from your mobile phone https://youtu.be/rkmQxvT8BpQ

Glad it worked for you. I had the same issue last year. ;)?

You rock.? I only made two changes, and they related to the shift.? And wouldn't you know it, autopat found at least one successful RMS gateway, and my pending test message went through.

I really appreciate the suggestion.

Thank you.

Re: GPS Dongle

 

I should be available until 10p EDT tonight...


Re: GPS Dongle

 

Kevin,

Will have to try that when I get home.? I'm currently accessing the system remotely.

Thank you.

Re: GPS Dongle

 

Interesting.
If you unplug the GPS, then plug it back in, what does the last 10 lines or so of dmesg say?
