Re: PiGate with Signalink or DRA


 

I got back to testing today.

  • Brand new Raspberry Pi 4
  • Brand new burn of the v2.2 PiGate software onto a micro-SD card
  • Signalink USB plugged into the lower left USB port
  • NO OTHER USB devices plugged in
  • NO OTHER devices, daughterboards or "Hats" installed on the Pi header
  • A 7" display is plugged into the display port via flex-cable
According to the v2.2 documentation,


  • Start the Pi
  • Connect to the PiGate Wi-Fi
  • Enter the admin interface (10.10.10.10/admin.php)
  • Set WL2K Callsign
  • Set PiGate Clock
  • Set PiGate Distance Measurement
  • Set PiGate Location
  • Set Default WL2K RMS station

  • On Home Screen:
  • AX25 Service shows - Currently Disabled
  • Clicking the title will NOT enable it
  • Shutdown PiGate
  • Wait for Green LEDs to stop flashing
  • Remove Power
  • Wait five seconds
  • Apply power
  • Re-establish PiGate Wi-Fi connection
  • Enter the admin interface
  • AX25 service still shows disabled
  • Clicking the title will NOT enable it
SignaLink power shows ON (Green LED on front)
SignaLink does NOT work "out-of-the-box"

Shutdown Pi
Move SignaLink to Upper Left USB port
Apply power to the Pi
No Change

Shutdown Pi
Move SignaLink to Lower Right USB port (USB3)
Apply power to the Pi
No Change

Rinse and repeat on the last USB port, Upper Right (also USB3)
No Change

SignaLink does NOT work "out-of-the-box" at least not on a Pi 4

I will test my Pi 3 next.
