Raspberry pi ham radio setup software
Hey RaspberryPi 4 Ham Radio Group,
So I have been working on a project for some time now and I finally feel that it's ready for some other folks to take a look at it and test it out. If you're into using raspberry pi computers for ham radio I have created a repository of scripts/playbooks to setup, compile and maintain/update radio tools on the pi. I finally released a version 1.0.0 at There is some basic documentation in the README file stars and issues appreciated if you find anything. I have been testing on the latest raspberry pi OS and often use VNC to power my pis connected to radios in the shack. This isn't focused on portable operating out of the box but I do have scripts for setting up things like GPS time sync and real time clock modules. You may ask why you would use this over build a pi or other tools. The primary reason I created these was because Ansible(configuration management tool I'm using) is better at maintaining state than bash scripts and preventing redundant work during setup or updates. Thanks for any feedback and I hope someone finds it useful!
73,
DE K2EXE Mark

Re: what is the proper way to install Python
If you need a later release of Python, such as version 3.10 for AutoGPT, you can add later distributions to /etc/apt/sources.list. You can edit this file (as root) using your favorite text editor. To add custom sources, creating separate files under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ is preferred. See man 5 sources.list: Distributions: * DebianTesting: current development state of the next stable Debian distribution * DebianUnstable: rolling development version containing the latest packages See: Video: How do you get a fresh install of Debian Unstable (Sid)? Well, there are three routes you could take. I show you my preferred method of installing Sid.

Re: what is the proper way to install Python
And some course work for python 102, arguably years ago I would have said this was 201 but virtual environments and use of them can really keep a clean slate if your wanting that. Lots of projects use them now as well.?

Re: what is the proper way to install Python
Hello Arnold,
It should be installed by default (even on the Lite version).?
Regardless, I would recommend to stick with the version that comes
with the Raspberry Pi OS distribution:
?? sudo apt install python3
For modules, etc, I also recommend to try to stick with the OS
supported versions.? You can see what's available with:
?? apt-cache search python3

What is the most proper way to install Python in a fresh Bullseye OS, lite version OS?
I believe it's easy, but this time I want to make sure I'm doing it properly.
?
Thanks, Arnold

As far as wifi differences, 3B is only 2.4ghz. 3B+ is dual band 2.4ghz and 5ghz

All pi3's are wireless
Pi2 was the last full size pi without wireless. PiZero is the only one still made without wireless

I don't know if you've already solved the problem, but in case it's still an issue: when I hooked up a pi version 3 at your place using ethernet, I then plugged in your hdmi monitor and a keyboard and used the home screen (if you have a text prompt then type startx to get the home screen). In the upper right-hand corner is a network symbol and I clicked on it to launch the wi-fi setup. I was using the current raspbian setup, not an android installation. I don't know whether the pi I left there is a wired or a wireless. If that's the one you are using and it turns out to be wifi-less then I usually use a wireless usb dongle to add the wifi. I have a usb wireless dongle up here if you don't want to wait on an order.
Have you run sudo apt update and sudo apt full-upgrade -y to update Raspbian?
Also, is your wifi only the 5ghz band?? Pi 3B only supports 2.4ghz wifi

Im new to the PI and I bought a new pi 3b.
I can put the android system on there but for some reason the wifi thats built in does not work. I installed android and got that running but the wifi just turns on then off. Ethernet connection works great but I cant use it as it has to be wireless.
Its going to run the app for my cameras that are all hooked to a DVR that has constant ethernet internet. Im trying to get the cameras on a monitor in another room.
The only issue I have is the wireless wont work and I know that has been an issue as so far I have read on the internet.
I can put an android OS on it or the Raspberry PI OS with the desktop with no issues. Just cant get the damn wireless to work.
Is there a wireless dongle that I can use and if so, which one and how do I put the drivers in for that.
Please help guys..I want to learn but nothing is working.
You can PM me of tag me in responses...Ill even pay for it.

Re: WSPR Make and Make Install
#wspr
#pi
The problem is a missing function called makedev, not a program.
makedev() is actually a macro and you need to include the correct header for it.
It is possible to add the following line in mailbox.c to fix it:
#include <sys/sysmacros.h>

All,
I apologize for the
inconvenience.
I was diagnosed with kidney
cancer a few weeks ago, and had surgery to remove the
offending kidney and cancer growth last Tuesday.?
Unfortunately for me, my contract with the file download site
I was using for the PiGate project expired during the week I
was in the hospital so all the links went inactive.
I had been experimenting with
different file storage sites, but had not found one that could
perform the same way the last one did before my surgery was
scheduled.? I was hoping to take care of it after I was
released from the hospital, but my recovery is slow.? I'm
still looking for a site, but my search is slowed by my slow
recovery.? This was the first time I've been able to get on
the computer.? I am hoping over the next few days I will be
able to make this transition, as long as I am physically
able.? Eventually, it will get done.
If anyone has some
suggestions on a new site to store download files, I would be
eager to hear.? The only requirements are:
1. Have to be able to upload
fairly large files slightly more than 2Gb
2. Each file be accessible by
clicking a web link
3. No passwords or special
permissions needed to grab a file
4. Not cost too much.? My
last site went from a couple hundred bucks a year to over
$1,200.
The total file capacity is
less then 100MB.
Any help would be
appreciated.
Oh, and a side note I found
out today, my tumor was not cancerous, just a benign cyst.?
Isn't that a kick on the head.
