If I understand your question correctly, yes it will. Different ways of accomplishing it.

1 - SSH to the Pi from your other computer in another room. Works great.

2 - If you need a Pi 4 desktop on that other computer, you can use VNC to do that. (I like NoMachine, which is free for personal use and it works great.)

Your Pi will need to be running, of course. It will need a network connection. I tend to run my Pi systems “headless” with no monitor or keyboard, and I prefer to run them on a wired ethernet connection. But, WiFi will work fine. I expect Bluetooth would too, but I’ve not tried that.

One thing I find helpful is to put an HDMI dummy on the Pi to make it think it has a monitor. I can then set the screen dimensions to be nice and big, and it remembers on every bootup. (I use?, which work great and they’re cheap.)

Try running the command

Re: KX3 - WSJT-X with Raspberry Pi 5 and DigiRig sound card (CP102 and CM108 audio chip) fails TX audio

Hello John,

You need to install "pavucontrol" program and then do the following:

?? - start up wsjt-x
?? - have it start transmitting
?? - start the pavucontrol program
?? - in pavucontrol, go to the playback tab, see where wsjt-x is listed, and change the pulldown to use the desired output sound device

I used the ALSA tools and LSUSB command and the Cp102 + CM108 audio chip show up correctly. I cannot get the CM108 to take priority over outputting the FT8 audio which goes to the HDMI audio on my LED monitor.

The apparent rule of muting all output channels seems to apply to my trying to get audio out and into the mic jack on the KX3.

Since this a working system I can only conclude I am missing some tool to change the priority of increasing the driver ahead of the HDMI audio driver in the Raspberry Pi 5 OS.

Anyone have any suggestions how to get the settings right. I have been through several good articles on the RPi site by Philips and USB audio cards by Lady Ada to no avail. This has to be entwined with the fact the analog headphone port went away with the advent of the RPi5 and I cannot find a tool as the ALSA mixer won’t allow me to change the audio stream.

Re: rpi5 and wsjt-x

 

I have the same problem - I have a working RPI-5 with DigiRig and WSJT-X + Winlogger on my Mac and the KX3+DigiRig+WSJT-X works 100% transmit and receive. When i move the to exact same configuration (unplug USB from MacStudio - Plug USB into RPi5) , FT8 decoding and all features TX etc. All work except NO transmit audio comes out of mic cable . ?I run the KX3 in upper sideband mode (USB) and have used RTS keying and there is no audio coming out the DigiRig into the microphone jack. Running in data mode makes no difference. I tried ALSA mixer control but it’s primitive and offers no ability to make the DigiRig chipset open up Xmit audio for the mic jack cable.?
Any ideas

Mats,
Thanks for the chuckle!? I shared it with my hockey-intense sons and wife and they laughed, too!

The shields always present a challenge unless you are fine with a 3D printed case with no RF shielding.? More than once, I have used a large generic RPi metal case and drilled and cut openings.? ?I have also resorted to metal boxes and short pigtails to bulkhead connectors for essential external connections.? I also have one 19 inch 1U rack for five RPis complete with an SD card jack and pigtail for each on the panel.? I am going to rework it for several dedicated RPis.

Re: Power Pi 4 or 5 from 12 volts

$10 Klnuoxj 8-32V to 5V. 5A. USB-C PD Step Down Converter. 95% effeciency, Waterproof.?
?
The RPi5 will run fine with 3A or more at 5V PD, if there is no USB load, but a 5 ampere or more 5.2 V supply is necessary to draw the maximum 1.6A from the USB ports.? ??
?
Normally, the RPi5 is configured to use USB-C Power Delivery (PD) protocol, to negotiate 5A from the PD capable Raspberry Pi 5.1 volt mains power adapter,?
and shuts down if it fails to get PD acknowledgement that 5 A is available.?
?
However, if you edit and add the following lines to the end of file /boot/firmware/config.txt :?
? usb_max_current_enable=1?
This will force the RPi5 to ignore the Power delivery communication, and assume the power supply is capable of delivering 5A.
This change allows many 12 volt to 5.2 volt USB power converters and automotive USB outlets to power the RPi5.?
?
The USB-C Power Delivery 3.0 standard specifies a 5 volts at 3.0 amperes; ?however, the PD protocol allows for requesting higher current. ?
The Raspberry Pi 5 wall wart acknowledges a PD request for 5 amperes.?
?
The RPi5 will deliver an "Under-voltage" warning when operating below 4.63 volts, as measured at GPIO pin 2 or 4.?
?In Raspian OS, a lightning bolt appears in the upper right corner of the display.
?In Raspberry Pi OS, a "Low voltage warning" text appears in the display upper right corner.?
?"Under-voltage detected!" is also logged in dmesg for each occurrence.?

Often the cause is too much voltage drop in a poor USB power cable.?

Mats,
Off topic:
My sons are asking me if you are the "Mats Sundin" who played ice hockey in the National Hockey League here in the U.S.?

On topic:??

I use several different 9-16 V to 5 V converters and USB A distribution blocks with USB A to USB "x" type cords often with 90 degree plugs to easily fit in small cramped spaces with bending cables.??

I tend to avoid using RPi shields for power alone, preferring to make the header available for other functions as needed.

The other benefit of this approach is that my backup power can all be 12-15 V with most of it consisting of LiFePo4 batteries between 12.8-14.6 V.? This greatly simplifies things.

I've purchased a couple items recently. Although they supply 3A instead of 5A, I haven't found 5A necessary for the Raspberry Pi 4B. They work fine. The one wth the USB type C plug fits directly to the Raspberry Pi.

Our club is in the consideration mode for a Pi based packet system with expansion to a VHF an HF RMS. The site has a generator for backup but I know generator power can be dirty and not immediate. We have a 50 amp Astron and I would like to run the Pi from that. Not settled on the verson of Pi but both Pi4 and Pi 5 are in consideration.

So, what would be the recommendation or success stories with a hat based UPS in the pie and what is a good way to power it from the 12 volt Astron?
