Can you post a copy of your config? ? Be sure to blank out your winlink password which is near the top of the file.?

BAP 3.0.8 on Raspi 4B, 2GB makes a complete install

 

Hi,
as I had problems with gps after updating BAP 3.0.7 to 3.0.8 (no satellites are found) I just build up a new system with Bap 3.0.8 to check, if the gps problems are still there with a new installation on a fresh Buster. For this only selected a view packages out of the list to install, to be able to check immediatly.

I was then really astonished, that the script installed all packages, doesn?t matter wether selected or not. What happened?

JayvSheepdog,
is it possible to solder a power pole connector to the bottom of the MakerFocus DockerPi hat barrel connector without using the barrel jack.

Thanks in advance

Subject:?[KM4ACK-Pi] Fixed low voltage warning on my Pi systems with a cable upgrade

Most of my power supplies for my Pi3B, including the official Raspberry Pi power supply were giving me a low voltage warning and the measured voltage out of the Pi3B was about 4.6V.? I had to use an adjustable USB power supply to get it turned off by boosting the output voltage to 5.5 V.

?

On a whim, I bought some USB to mini USB cables that are made from 20 ga wires not the 24-26 ga wires that are common.? This fixed the problem and now allows me to use the power supplies that were previously too low on voltage.? The voltage drop on the USB ports on the Pi is unmeasureable.

The link to them are :?

Works for me¡­..

Wheez,

Thank you for that information. I greatly appreciate the fact that you and others are working on trying to get RMS Express and VARA to work on ARM processors. I am most interested in VARA on the Pi as PAT with it's newly incorporated Forms works well for me on my Pi.

God Bless!

Re: Beta 3.0.8 & GPS

 

I had the same problem today and I was bored so I wrote the attached script to troubleshoot. In the end, running gpsupdate (from /home/bin/ ) solved my problem, I believe.

I don't know how to paste the code here correctly, so I am attaching as a txt file. Save to your desktop, rename to .sh? (instead of .txt) and then change the properties to executable and run it. Use the "Enter" key to advance the script (not "any key")

good luck and 73's

Re: IC-705 and PAT

Jim,

There is two different files / controls in play here.? FLRIG and ARDOP.?

It sounds like you have chosen a path many of us have in which FL Rig is your interface to the radio for applications.? That is a good option.? It only means that inside your applications instead of setting up your radio over and over, you will use rig 4.


For PAT, ARDOP is the underlying piece that connects the pretty GUI web page to FLRIG.? It does this via its own config file , which Jason has created a nice interface for through pat menu > Settings / Config.

Here are mine

Notice rig control command is set to -m 4, that flrig and Rig Control is set to yes.?

Now, there are a few other commands not exposed in this screen, they are set from the Pat Menu > Manage Pat screen, even though they are still modifying items in the same ARDOP config file


Notice the Set Ardop PTT, that item needs to be set to True.? Using this interface, it is easy to backup the ADROP config file, as well as reset it and start over.?

You can directly edit the ARDOP config by opening a terminal and typing pat configure

It is not uncommon for all of us to struggle a bit here with ARDOP, even from build to build.

I hope that helps,

Thanks,
Terry K4HNT

Yes, I¡¯ve watched many of his informative videos. ?Since I¡¯m setting up BAP and using ARDOP, I just haven¡¯t found the right settings to get this working.?

Thanks for advice.

Jim
Re: IC-705 and PAT

 

I thought you said you had FLrig working correctly? Try js8call or wsjtx with flrig controlling. Once you verify it's working, then set Pat to use it.

Are you referring to the Rig Control Command under pat settings? ?It reads /user/local/bin/rightly -m 4
