Re: SCU-17 Behind The Raspberry Pi?

 

Hello Brandon

Rather than writing, hope you don't mind but I've provided pics of my FT-817 setup to the Pi 3A+ (the "Pebble" usb battery unit for the Pi was just temp while I took the pics).

The Yaesu FT-891 are similar settings except; select the Radio in "Settings" as FT-891, connect a second usb cable between the Pi usb (I don't use an external usb bus, so I use a Pi4 with multiple usb ports) and the usb CAT port of the FT-891, don't connect a SCU-17/ACC cable to an FT-891 as CAT commands are only via the usb cable direct to the Yaesu-891.

Hope that makes sense.

Yaesu FT-817 and SCU-17, cables are required to both the Data and Acc (CAT) ports, and a usb cable between SCU-17 and Pi.




I use "VNC Viewer" on my Wi-Fi network to remote control WSJT-X and JS8Calll on the Pi 3A+ which is sending CAT commands to the FT-817.






WSJT-X settings (note that I used 4800 baud on the FT-817)






JS8Call settings (note that I used 4800 baud on the FT-817)





End

Well, yes and no :-)

I see my message was received because I get a message that says I have a winlink message waiting. ?If I go to raw display, I can see it is the challenge from winlink. But I don’t know how to get the message. I did not try to use the winlink commands since I am not yet logged in. ?I can also go on a website and see the message waiting for me.?

The challenge is that to get to the iGate that will forward my APRS message to the winlink network I need to go through a digipeater. I had to change the default message routing to increase the number of hops.

But that’s as far as I’ve been. I need to put more time into it.

Thanks for following up!

Since APRS is a data flooding system, there is no need- but it can be interesting- to learn how the packets flow..

Three techniques I’ve found for overcoming small screens.?

Click on the window while holding down the Alt(/Option) key and drag the window around, you can move it up to reach all of the window.?

Install xrdp on the target machine and use an RDP client on another machine. When it connects it establishes a connection to a virtual desktop of a size you can specify.?

Access the target machine using?
ssh -X <machine address>
Then launch a GUI app from the shell and it will open in a window on the remote machine.?

Re: Conky missing from build-a-pi v3

Ron, I am using Build-a-Pi v. 3.0 on a new RPi4b 8gb - Conky is looking good and FLRIG for CAT with my FT-817 working well...? Do you have a good internet connection?? There are multiple downloads occuring while that script is running, (for a pretty long time), so I would recommend you do not try to use that Pi for anything else while its running.? OBTW, I did a fresh install of the latest Raspberry Pi OS, then made the necessary tweaks to copy it from the Micro SD Card to a USB 3.0 SSD and got it to boot up there, (no SD card), before rebooting on the SSD then running the script.? Doing so sped up the install significantly.

I should add, I moved my Raspberry Pi projects out of the house into our Travel trailer parked on our property - had a problem with GPS not working out there and was blaming it on the metal shell of the trailer.? It now turns out that I may have some kind of problem between my USB GPS receiver and the USB SSD trying to operate at the same time.? Will be looking into that further this week.

Conky missing from build-a-pi v3

 

Seems Conky is missing in the build-a-Pi v3 edition. Also the new WSJT-X v2.2.2 does no longer perform CAT connection with the Yaesu FT-817. For the moment I'm using Flrig as the interface to get things done.

best regards,

The Program Notepad++ is an excellent way to cross platform stuff like this. I agree with @nfg.

Thanks Guys,

I gave it a go and it was just a matter of plugging it in and selecting the Ports and away it went.

A friend recently had an issue with a new Raspberry Pi 4 not displaying on his TV (not a computer monitor).? In his troubleshooting, he found using the HDMI port #1 (the one farthest away from the USB-C power connector) helped a little but would still see a black screen.? By accident, he REMOVED the micro-SD card while the Pi was on and saw the Rpi's video output!? In further troubleshooting, he got things working better when he enabled "hdmi_force_hotplug=1" in the /boot/config.txt file:

??

You also might try out the "hdmi_safe" setting and see if that helps get you something on the TV.? After that, you can work your way back until you determine which setting is required to work on your specific TV.

Pat Menu Config Screen

Bryan Hoffman
 

For some reason, I can not see the bottom of the config window for Pat Menu.? This is the only screen that appears to display longer then the desktop can display. Basically, the bottom is cut off and I can not see the buttons or the last few fields.
I've tried to change the resolution of the display w/o luck.
I'm using a RP 7" screen. Is there possibly a setting in the terminal that would fix the issue?
Thanks for the help

Re: SCU-17 Behind The Raspberry Pi?

 

Care to enlighten the rest of us that are having difficulty getting it to work? Any particular steps to get it to work, like having it recognized by linux and how to change the port and/or port settings? Any help would is greatly appreciated. I have mine plugged into a 8-port powered usb hub. I see 2 different entries when I use the lsusb command. Not sure which one is which. I do need the port numbers for CAT and PTT but don't know how to obtain them.

Brandon, ND3U


Re: SCU-17 Behind The Raspberry Pi?

 

Hello Pete

Yes, I use a SCU-17 with both the Pi 4 and 3A+ connected to a Yaesu FT-891 and FT-817nd. Works very nicely with wsjt-x and fldigi.

Re: Help with TNC9k6 setup

 

Depending on which board you purchase the appropriate firmware is pre loaded.? For instance if you get a TNC configured with the Raspberry PI headers then it has firmware loaded to interact with the PI using the GPIO pins set aside for serial communications (19200 baud btw).? If you get the "stand alone" TNC then the firmware loaded is for that specific configuration.

I have tested our TNC's with Mark's PiGate image and I don't recall having to change any settings.

One other item.? You can find pre-compiled binary's for the TNC9k6 on our site:?
