Re: Help with TNC9k6 setup

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýTwo Dons ¨C go figure ? ? I use Putty as SSH as well as VNC ¨C which is why I was sort of curious why turning off Secure Shell seemed to work as I didn¡¯t connect that way.? Unless it reserved it somehow? ? I got my 9k6 from WVC ARC via Etsy.? I saw the Coastal site.? That is where (I believe) I go the ¡®manual¡¯ to follow that was the TNC-Pi originally.? I did find a link I had stuck away (and forgotten) to a ¡®manual¡¯ to assemble the WVC board.? That had some additional information in it as well.? That was here: ? And your PiGate site was the genesis of my intent to get packet working in my Go Kit ?? Easy and smooth operation with my V71A to a WinLink node was appealing ¨C but there were NO TNC boards except the 9K6 available.? And since the V71A can do 9600 I said WTH ¨C another arrow in the quiver in addition to standard 1200. ? My hang up at the moment is the WVC manual which states (implies?) that the Teensy board needs to be loaded with software.? I need to read and digest that a little bit to figure out what that means.? But at the moment all I have ¡°loaded¡± directly is the Pi itself.? I did see later in this string (or earlier in time) about the AX25 files and I have to go see if those are on the board or not.? ? It will be steps but as long as I know the steps I should be OK overall.? The challenge to me is finding and understanding the steps ? ? Don, W4GFQ ?

When you connect through PuTTY, is is through an SSH or Secure Shell TCP/IP connection port, not serial.? VNC is also through a direct connection at a non-serial port. ? Where did you get the TNC-Pi9k6 from?? I've attached the docs from the old Coastal Chipworks site.? The board and procedure to build it is a little different than the other people selling this board, but the firmware configuration docs are still correct. ? I'm getting ready to make a change in my website to reflect that the TNC-Pi9k6 is the choice for both the PiGate and PiGate RMS devices.? Is is a drop-in replacement for the TNC-Pi2.? I'm not too happy with the progress MFJ is making with building the new TNC-Pi3 board, and the West Virginia group that is now selling the TNC-Pi9k6 as an assembled board has a great price, which is probably going to be close to what MFJ sells the 1200 baud only board for. ? Here's my web site in case you are interested in using your Pi and the TNC for communications with Winlink2000. ? Mark KD0QYN ? ?

I am going to presume that somehow the putty connection to the pi was using the serial port?? Although how it still connects (as does VNC) confuses me ¨C but no matter. ? The obvious next question is where do I go from here for reading about how to configure and use this board? ? Don, W4GFQ ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Mark Griffith via groups.io ? Don, ? First, you'll also need to use the raspi-config utility to enable the console serial port, but disable console login. ? Run "sudo raspi-config" ? Then go to menu 5, Interfacing Options, then menu P6, and disable the login shell over the serial port. ? On the next screen, keep the serial port enabled. ? Save these and finish. ? Now try "sudo pitnc-getparams /dev/serial0 0" ? This works the same with the TNC-Pi2 or the TNC-Pi9k6 and will be the same with the TNC-Pi3 once MFJ starts selling them. ? Mark KD0QYN ? ?
