Re: PiGate with Signalink or DRA
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.

Hi all! I just wanted to share some photo's of my latest project. I have installed two Pi 3b's in a single case to run both DMR and Dstar. It's almost finished but, I still have a few things to add to it yet. Everything in the photo's was purchased off of eBay except for the front and rear panels. I had to make those by hand. Anyway, enjoy and let me know if you have some ideas for improvements or anything else. 73' de W2LPC.

I had the same problem with an adapter and a pi micro. Outside the cute little case all worked well. Buttoned up in the case the hdmi adapter had an interference fit with the case that kept it from seating.
73,

It was quite frustrating trying to get the monitor to work until I realized the problem is the adapter.
I also learned that there are HDMI "simulator" plugs that can be plugged into the HDMI adaptor so you can then run the RPI "headless" - much more convenient.?

I had the same issue when I put Bulleye onto an old RPi 3b+ board that was connected to the 7¡± display. (Fully updated OS)
I found a solution on the Internet (I think it was ) but what worked for me was to just add the following line to an otherwise untouched config.sys file:
dtparam=i2c_vc_baudrate=50000

Re: PiGate on Raspberry Pi 4
I think I included a short script on the PiGate image /root/get_pi_version.sh.
If it's not there, here it is:
#!/bin/sh
echo
echo `cat /proc/device-tree/model`
echo
Works for all Pi versions.

Not to sound silly, but are you plugging into the HDMI port

Greetings,
I'm sure that the problem is the user (me) and not the RPI4.?
I just got a new RPI4 4GB and hooked it up to my 7-inch HDMI display and could get nothing but a black screen. I did the mod where you go in the micro SD card and go into the Config.txt file and changed the HDMI Mode to 16 and that did not work. Here is the link to the actual monitor that I am attempting to use:?
Out of curiosity, I unplugged the HDMI cable from the monitor and plugged it into my TV and it works great. I must have a setting wrong or something, if you know what I am doing wrong please help me.
Thank you

Had similar problems with a RPi 4B couple years ago.? It's HDMI output would work with some TVs and monitors, but not others.? Ended up buying a HDMI booster and that solved the problem.
