Re: NOOB with growing pains

 

Let's track down one issue at a time. Once you run the update script, try dragging the box up just a bit and see if you can see the "Start Scan" button.

What size screen are you using?

Re: #ardop rpoblem with configuration #ardop

 
Edited

Thanks Jason and sorry for the dumb questions, I oversaw this. I have to change the system language to English - maybe there are some conflicts with system in German, but I'm not sure. But ARDOP and PAT are running now. Great work from you with BAP! I appreciate your support too. So for LINUX newbies its a great tool.?

Only thing I faced is that with JS8call there is no ALC but the transceiver is keyed - no matter what I do with the mic gain. I have the same settings as WSJTX concerning the audio where it runs. Any hint where I can doing checks?

EDIT: find the fault - Output was set to Stereo, so Mono runs :-)

Re: #ardop rpoblem with configuration #ardop

 

You didn't post your Pat settings again but it looks like you have a typo based on the terminal screenshot. It looks like you have entered
plughw:,2.0
but it needs to be
plughw:2,0
in your pat menu settings. Make sure you change it in both place in the ARDOP command.

Also, you may need to enable PTT. In pat menu click on Manage Pat Winlink and then Set ARDOP PTT. Set the PTT to true.

Re: #ardop rpoblem with configuration #ardop

 

In your pat settings, your ARDOP command is incorrect. Change it to:

/home/pi/ardop/./piardopc 8515 plughw:2,0 plughw:2,0

Re: #ardop rpoblem with configuration #ardop

 

Hi Jason,

thanks ... I did it with a fresh BAP installation. Flirr, FLdigi, JS8call and WSJTX are running smooth. So no idea what's going wrong and where I have to do additional settings. Settings of the frequency in ARDOP is OK (see pic). Could it be that I have the language settings on the raspberry in German? Cause some conflicts? Wanted to change it to English but can't find the settings menu for this.

NOOB with growing pains

 

Hi Jason,
?
Excellent work!
?
I'm just have a few growing pains my diagnostic zip attached.
?
Issue 1: When I Main Menu > Hamradio > Build-a-Pi >Update-Tool
?
A terminal session opens and a GUI dialog box appears.? The last sentence of the dialog box is "Ready when you are".
?
No button to click to continue the dialog just sits there. if I hit return everything closes.
?
Issue 2: No Gridsquare in Conky.? I tried to follow this in Groups.io.
?
Here's a paste of my terminal session when I try the first diagnostic test I found.
?
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ /home/pi/bin/conky/grid
^CTraceback (most recent call last):
? ? 2: from /home/pi/bin/conky/get-grid:11:in `<main>'
? ? 1: from /var/lib/gems/2.5.0/gems/gpsd_client-0.0.5/lib/gpsd_client.rb:27:in `start'
/var/lib/gems/2.5.0/gems/gpsd_client-0.0.5/lib/gpsd_client.rb:27:in `gets': Interrupt
?
Note the ^C before Traceback.
?
When I run /home/pi/bin/conky/grid the terminal just sits there.? I have to hit CTRL-C to get the script to stop and produce the results shown above.

Love your build.? I finally got a WinLink account thanks to you!

Re: #ardop rpoblem with configuration #ardop

 

Opening Playback Device plughw:,0 Rate 12000
You have your sound card configured as "plughw:,0". It should be "plughw:2,0".

Are you running Build a Pi or is this a manual installation?

Re: Need help with BAP

 

If you have had this system built for a while, you may have an old version of the Conky config (.conkyrc) file installed. This could be causing conky not to start correctly. Try reinstalling Conky and see if that fixes the issue. Also, see this video

Re: #ardop rpoblem with configuration #ardop

 

Hello,

Do anybody have an idea what my next steps could Bussi Erwin to find the error? I'm sticking on this problem and can't find anything about this in the forum or Web.

Re: Help with Bluecat adapter

 

Thanks Bill,
I'll admit to having given up too easily, at the "no services" message!
in future I must also search more thoroughly through the many excellent videos Jason has produced. Great to have so much support.
One note that might help others; the Bluecat device version I bought is specifically for the 897 with an AT-897 tuner attached. The CAT is passed through that and seems to need to be set at a baud rate of 4800 due to the AT-897 limitations.
Thanks again to both Bill for the reply and Jason for a great project and videos.
Re: Isolation of the field Compiter #PI4

 

The audio on a Pi4 is and always be the Achilles heel for a Pi
Now I've got some heat problems in my container but aims too correct it soon with an commercial cooler.
The Pi hangs up because of heat problems but my PSU is now isolated from the radio thanks to a MeanWell isolated 5V DC-DC converter

Re: Help with Bluecat adapter

 

I followed Jason's video I just did on my PI-4 and it worked fine. The most important part is :
FLRIG, navigate to Config>Setup>transceiver.
On the configuration page choose your Yaesu rig from
the top drop down box labeled rig. In the next box, choose
"/dev/rfcomm7" which will be near the bottom of the list.
If /dev/rfcomm7 isn't found in the list, you can enter it
manually in the box.

Help with Bluecat adapter

 

Please can anyone assist with using a Bluecat Bluetooth adapter?

it pairs with the RPi4 but gives a message saying that ¡°no services are supported on the Raspberry Pi¡±.

I have used the adapter successfully with a Yaseu FT897D and a PC to provide a serial connection for CAT control of the radio in such as FLDIGI and hoped to use it with a RPi4.
I contacted the manufacturer who replied ¡°?BlueCAT presents a standard Bluetooth 2 SPP interface. Although we can not warrant?it with third party software over which we have no control, many people have successfully?used it with different Android, PC, Linux and Mac (desktop only) apps.¡±
