Conky issue #conky

 

Hi

Everytime I restart my BAP, Conky starts up with it, bur some og the text in the display I am not able to read because the are blurry or Pixel'd

(See attached photo)

Whem I do a start Conky again, everything is fin?

I don't know if this problem was mentioned before, and U didn't read it, then I am sorry!

Change the APRS path to
CQ,ARISS
and try it again.

You may have run into a bug concerning the newest version of hamlib (4.3). Run the following command and post the results please:
rigctl -vvv -m 1 f

Re: Pi-APRS Hamlib Rig Open error -6 #aprs

 

Hi Jason,

That gets rid of the error opening hamlib...

But it still produces errors when trying to transmit. It gives an Invalid Command error:

n3jf-6>wide2-2:>n3jf Stationary
Invalid command. Must be one of d p s t f h.

Input, starting with upper case letter or digit, is assumed
to be an AX.25 frame in the usual TNC2 monitoring format.

Input, starting with a lower case letter is a commmand.
Whitespace, as shown in examples, is optional.

Re: Pi-APRS Hamlib Rig Open error -6 #aprs

 

Sorry for the delayed response. Had to go back and look at the code. Rig control wasn't built into the app but should be easy enough to manually start. With FLRIG open, run the following command:
rigctld -m 4
and leave that terminal window open. It will appear hung but this is normal.
Now open Pi-ARPS and start the modems. You should be good.

Continual behind the scene awk: warning #conky

 

Executing conky from a terminal screen results in an otherwise behind the scenes warning that continues every conky screen update/repaint.

?

The warning is: ¡°awk: warning: escape sequence `\'' treated as plain `''¡±

Re: Pi-APRS Hamlib Rig Open error -6 #aprs

 

Hi Jason,

Yes, FLrig is running and working before starting Pi-APRS.


My Pi-APRS config file is the following:
MYCALL=n3jf
SSID=6
CITY=Aliso-Viejo???? [Note: Separating the city into two words, with a space, causes an error when Pi-APRS starts]
STATE=CA
GRID=DM13
HEARDYOU="Heard you direct"
QSLMESSAGE="QSL & 73!"
STATUSCOMMENT="Station"
LATLON=33.56N/-117.72W
SYMBOL="Q"
APRSPATH="wide2-2"
NEWMSG="/home/pi/Pi-APRS/message.wav"
DIRECONF="/home/pi/direwolf.conf"
DIREWOLF="/usr/local/bin/direwolf -p -t 0"
MSGPATH=/run/user/1000/pi-aprs
KISS="/usr/local/bin/kissutil -f /run/user/1000/pi-aprs/ -h 127.0.0.1"



The relevant parts of direwolf.conf are:
ADEVICE? plughw:2,0
CHANNEL 0
MYCALL N3JF
MODEM 1200
PTT RIG 2 localhost:4532
AGWPORT 8000
KISSPORT 8001


axports is:
wl2k N3JF 1200 255 7 Winlink


Pat Winlink works fine using direwolf on 2m. The error message seems to be saying that it's using hamlib, but there's been no hamlib configuration made during the setup of Pi-APRS.

I ran into something odd helping a Patron setup his Pi with Pat last night. Does rigctl remain green in conky after starting the ARDOP modem? Please run this command and post the results:

Please post your Pi-APRS settings. Do you have FLRIG open before starting the program?

Pi-APRS Hamlib Rig Open error -6 #aprs

 

Hi,
I wanted to check out Pi-APRS. Hamlib is installed, direwolf is installed, the Pi-APRS suite is installed.
Direwolf works fine for Pat Menu & Winlink on VHF using my IC-7100, therefore the AX.25 ports are, I believe, correctly setup.

When I start Pi_Aprs and click Start Modem, I get the following error:
Hamlib Rig open error -6: IO error



The log looks like this:

Dire Wolf version 1.6
Includes optional support for:? hamlib cm108-ptt

Reading config file /home/pi/direwolf.conf
Audio device for both receive and transmit: plughw:2,0? (channel 0)

Attached to KISS TCP client application 0...
Ready to accept KISS TCP client application 1 on port 8001 ...


Direwolf hears the APRS traffic coming in the radio, but it will not transmit because of the error shown above.

The error shown when trying to send a Terrestrial Message to myself is:

Processing free.txt for transmit...
n3jf-6>wide2-2::N3JF???? :test{206}
Invalid command. Must be one of d p s t f h.

The video on Pi-APRS does not show any configuration for the radio, and since it works already in Winlink for VHF, I'd expect there not to be any configuration other than what was done for Winlink purposes.


Also, when selecting Settings from the Pi-APRS menu, it will not accept a 2 word answer for the City Name ("Big Sur", for example). Once a 2-word city name is entered and the program started again, when the modem is started it complains that is does not know what "Big" [first word of the two] on line 7 is.

What am I missing?

Hi Jason

Thanks for that tip, since I hadn't planned on using the GPS unit while not making any portable outings I

didn't think I needed to install GPS. I will go back and update now and remember to install in future for

any possibility.
