Tnc-x PI


 

I've been reading the setup from tncpi pdf from off the tnc-x website.

I've downloaded the zipped files,? there are now in the folder pitnc.
Both files permission are for Owner?

I keep getting retrying.

If I do ls /dev/serial*
It shows /dev/serial0 and /dev/serial1



So sort of lost as to where to go next

Try doing sudo before the command. ??

hmm could we get such a thingy run on a pluto??

yes i know not a raspi but it is a linux box (kind of) ... and a wideband transceiver

here in germany a few guys planning to make the pluto a user access point for hamnet ... THAT could be really a nice idea for replacing the packet net (or the rest of that we still have) all to hamnet ...

Did you try the Note added 12/4/2018 stuff?


 

Tad?

that's one of the first syntaxes I used. The yellow light is flashing on the Pi Hat. All of the lights blink when power is applied.

Putting it to bed for a while. If I plugged my USB tnc-x I get it to start in not type.

later

Don,

If your RED LED power light is flashing, your power supply is very weak.? It needs to be steady on all the time.? If adding an external USB device like a TNC-X causes it to start flashing, then again, the power supply is too weak.

Tim I finally see what you meant by Note

? Note added 12/4/2018: Some individuals have reported that there is a problem with the November, 2018 revision of Raspbian that results in the serial port not being accessible. You would notice this, for example, if you run pitnc_getparams and you keep getting ¡°retrying¡­¡± instead of the menu. In this case you need to edit the config.txt file in the /boot/ directory. You can do this by running the following from the command line: sudo leafpad /boot/config.txt Add the following line at the bottom of this file: dtoverlay=pi3-miniuart-bt This problem seems to be fixed with more recent versions of the Stretch version of Raspian.? ?

Thank You.

I thought Buster would have fixed that issue.?

Unfortunately that instruction is also now out of date.

The correct way is now to use raspi-config Interfacing Options/Serial to disable login on the serial port and enable the port.
