FLDIGI 4.1.19 RPi4 GPIO PTT
Anyone having an issue with GPIO control for PTT on an RPi4 with FLDIGI 4.1.19?? I see that GPIO 25 is set for an output type but unable to key transmitter.? Same GPIO is working with Direwolf

Re: Raspberry Pi Pico as a crystal replacement
Have you made any stability measurements?
Personally I'll stick with the Si5351, simply because they are easy to obtain, program and use.
In any case the cost of shipping exceeds the price of the part

Raspberry Pi Pico as a crystal replacement
I've tried to output various frequencies from Raspberry Pi Pico, In MicroPython, changed the machine frequency (this automatically programs the PLL), then divided by 2 or more using PIO, to avoid any

Re: Quality USB-A to USB-C cable to avoid voltage drop
If anyone wants to know if their Pi is complaining about low voltage, here is a short script to run and have a look:
sudo grep Under-voltage /var/log/syslog | wc -l
Output is the number of under

Re: Quality USB-A to USB-C cable to avoid voltage drop
I operate 75 and 40 but that doesn¡¯t really matter because even with my house turned off completely my noise floor is pretty pathetic. At field day every year I marvel at what silence sound like.

Re: Quality USB-A to USB-C cable to avoid voltage drop
I¡¯m not sure there is NO noise, but there are 40 of them in use in our data network and I¡¯ve heard no complaints.
They are $15 from Amazon

Re: Quality USB-A to USB-C cable to avoid voltage drop
We see linear supplies that waste half the power as heat and smps supplies
that raise the noise floor noticeably.
Can you detect any noise from the DROK? Their website isn't very technical.
Amazon is

Re: Quality USB-A to USB-C cable to avoid voltage drop
The acid test for all this is whether the Raspberry PI complains about under-volt. If the PI doesn¡¯t complain, EVER, you are probably in great shape.
Measuring the voltage at the PI makes sense.

Re: Backing Up Pi?? Balena Etcher??
#raspberrypi
I have a Pi running as a dedicated hotspot using Hamvoip. I don't backup the microSD card, only the config files. I've had a few issues that I've created and easily restored from the last config files

Re: Quality USB-A to USB-C cable to avoid voltage drop
Measure the voltage and current at your Pi, don't guess.
And FYI, power supplies according to

Re: Quality USB-A to USB-C cable to avoid voltage drop
Had the same issue. Went to Anker USB cables. They use higher gauge power conductors than signal conductors in their cables. Available lots of places, including Amazon.

Re: Quality USB-A to USB-C cable to avoid voltage drop
Consider making the run from the battery as long as you can by repositioning the PowerWerx USB-Buddy close to the Pi. Use decent gauge wire between the battery and the USB-Buddy. Or consider using a

Re: Quality USB-A to USB-C cable to avoid voltage drop
Dave. Certainly 5.5v wont hurt the pi. But he has a voltage drop because his powerworex is only at max of 3a unit with the 3 ft cord.? Also what I would do if it were me. I would ohm out the 3 ft

I've done some evaluation of R-Pi power supplies and concluded they're basically all crap ;-)?? The white "official" ones still allow undervoltage errors to occur but they do tend to be better

Re: Quality USB-A to USB-C cable to avoid voltage drop
How do you "up your output current" in this situation?
Maybe raise the Voltage to get same power on a given conductor? 5.5Vdc
won't hurt anything. Beware of smart USB sockets that limit power. 73
