A Follow up.
Tonight I read the previous section in the v2.2 document.? Now I get
it.
I copied the .DW config, made the rest of the interface
configuration via the Admin web pages, reboot, and it now works as
expected.? I also had to manually change the /root/direwolf.conf
file to change the callsign.
Chalk that up to not reading the manual properly.
One question though.? The Packet log tells me that:
"wl2kax25: WARNING: gridsquare not specified in config file"
I haven't found anywhere in the interface or the manual anything
about setting a gridsquare.? I don't believe the error is a problem,
but it annoys me.
Thank you,
Asa? Jay

Hi Mark,
My apologies sir. ?A friend kindly pointed out a section in
the v2.2 document that I have apparently missed. ?I did a search
for SignaLink and missed the prior section on swapping the ax25
startup scripts.
I will review and try again this evening.
Thank you,
Asa ?Jay

Asa,
Without a KISS TNC, you
can't start the AX.25 service.? The SignaLink USB is not
a KISS TNC.? You'll need to review the docs again and
setup the DireWolf virtual TNC. or get a TNC board.

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.
