Winlink Gateway -> DINAH and Direwolf
开云体育G’day Jason (and the group)!
?
I’ve been following BAP and your videos for a while and your video on the
Winlink Gateway really caught my attention as it was something I’ve been wanting
to do for quite a while as there are not many gateways in VK and I wanted to
change that.
?
Your video from December “Winlink Gateway on a Raspberry Pi LinBPQ” was
exactly what I was looking for, it went exactly as you depicted it, it is so
nice when a project works out of the box so to speak!
?
My only issue is that I don’t have a Signal Link (very expensive and
difficult to source in Australia) so would like to use my DINAH interface ()
instead.
?
I’ve read the docs, I get the impression that if I added “PTT CM108” to
direwolf.conf I should be ok.....
?
Sadly that did not work so I’m throwing it out there seeking guidance from
the experts on how to get the DINAH to transmit under Direwolf.

I have a Master Communication DRA 36 and I'm running on Hamvoip. I had to switch a pin to make it work on the Allstar node I have from regular soundcard?use. I never tried it on Build a Pi. I do know in Winlink Express I used UZ7HO. I had to download PTT.DLL.zip from the UZ7HO web page so UZ7HO PTT the radio. I imagine that in Build a PI Flrig?is Ptting?the radio and if you point pnp codec of C media chip it should work.? Good Luck 73 Don Poaps New Westminster, BC VA7DGP DATA VA7QU ?

开云体育Hi Don,
?
Thanks for the reply, AFAIK FL rig isn’t in the mix, the software is just
Direwolf and Lin BPQ.
?
About the only extra information I can add is that I am trying to establish
a 2m Gateway and that the DINAH uses GPIO3 on the CM119B chip.
?
All the best!

Hey Steve, I don't have one if the DINAH sound cards to test with. I believe you would only need to get the PTT line configured in direwolf for the card. You might ask in the direwolf forum /g/direwolf/topics and see if anyone there might be able to point you in a good direction. One thing that you will need installed that I didn't use in the Winlink gateway video is hamlib (rigctl). If you didn't install it the first time before installing direwolf, you will need to reinstall both so that direwolf is compiled with rigctl. Please understand this is an educated guess since I don't have the sound card here to test with. -- 73, de KM4ACK

I use a CM108 USB sound fob modified to drive PTT.? See???This works the same as the CM119 chip in DINAH.?
?
Enter
?lsusb
You should see something like?
? Bus 001 Device 007: ID 0d8c:000c C-Media Electronics, Inc. Audio Adapter
...?
note: the difference between the CM108 and CM119 chip is the PID USB identifier:
CM108 VID:PID is 0D8C:000C or 0D8C:013C?
CM119 VID:PID is 0D8C:013A (customizable with a 93C46 EEPROM)? ? ?
?
You need to give the HID device kernel permission, as described in???
The HID device driver asserts pin 13 on the CM108 or CM119 to drive PTT.
?
Adding “PTT CM108” to /home/<user>/direwolf.conf should work with version 1.6 or later in Linux.?
Make sure you commented out the other PTT configuration options.?
See section 9.2.9.5 of the User guide:?

Edit your /home/<user>/direwolf.conf file.
The " ADEVICE? plughw:2,0" entry should match a compatible ADEVICE listed by the cm108 utility.
Comment out all other ADEVICE references.?
Comment out all PTT references except "PTT CM108"
?
In BAP, Programs | Ham Radio | Dire Wolf should be on the GUI Desktop menu.
If not you need to install or build direwolf.?
?
Make sure direwolf is running:
?ps -A | grep direwolf
You shold see something like:?

?
If direwolf is not running, install the latest direwolf package (v1.6 released)?
?sudo apt-get update
?apt-cache showpkg direwolf
?sudo apt-get install direwolf
?
Better: Build and install the latest direwolf version 1.7, as described in?

Direwolf can run as a standalone digipeater.?
but is more useful as the AGW or KISS TNC socket interface to other applications.?

开云体育G’day Jason,

Thanks for the reply, I’ll try again with rigctl and have another look in
the Direwolf group – I did some searching without finding an obvious solution so
will post direct and see if a solution presents.

One
more thing, when you start direwolf make sure you see that hamlib cm108-ptt
support is included. -- 73, de KM4ACK

Thanks for all that information, it’s certainly opened up more information
for me.
