Re: setting up a digi with tt4 need some config advice


 

I guess I don't find the TT4 any more difficult to program than other TNCs I've used.

Comparing command summaries, I really see that the1270C had many fewer.? About the only difference I see is that you need to catch the bootloader on power up with the TT4 to make changes, where the 1270C had a cmd: interface.?

The older TNCs were made for CONV mode (keyboard-to-keyboard) and had options for APRS (trackers) or KISS mode (attached computer clients).? The TT4 is kind of the opposite.? It is designed as a tracker/client with an option to be used in CONV mode.

The other tricky part (IMHO) is the setting of the decode parameters.? Most other TNCs use a chip (Bell 202 modem IC like the MX614).? These are easy to implement, but DSP (Digital Signal Processing) has come a long way since their design.? Software modems like Direwolf, UZ7HO, and AGW all use this newer DSP capability in a PC.? Byon put it into a Sanguino (yes just a higher power Arduino chip).


Of course, in doing so, you have a little more to configure.? Some of those options went into the menu to replace or supplement resistors.? Where R4 &R5 are supplemented by RXAMP and R1 supplements TXLEVEL.? This gives you more control over the encode and decode tones.

So did you get things setup the way you want?

i understand you very clearly,
they are not easy to ^rpgramm at all .

no offence but i prefer my UIDigi with my old 1270C ,not that the TT4 is not good it is just complicated to programm


73 and good luck

I am not sure what you are asking when it comes to "fixed".
Fixed means not moving and so if your location doesn't change, you are fixed.

If you are concerned over the mic-E status being a bit untrue, then change TPROTOCOL
? TPROTOCOL MIC-E????????????????? compressed data which inclues a status like "Off Duty", "En Route", ...
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?? ?????????????? you have it set to 2 "In Service"
??TPROTOCOL APRS ????????????????? readable text data which does NOT inclues a status
??TPROTOCOL COMPRESSED ? compressed data which does NOT inclues a status

As for PHG details, you would add them manually to the beacon or status message.
Info:?

It appears you will have a GPS attached to a fixed station, but if it is fixed, SBEN really isn't the method to time your TX.? No need to continually report you aren't moving (TSPEED)

Other items:
* I always set both PKTICOM and PKTOCOM true, even if no computer is attached.? Then, if you do attach a computer, you will already have the infomration turned on.
* If it is remote and on battery/solar, you could set LEDS FALSE
* If it is going to be remote, you might look into MSGCMD
?? Some people use a PORT C as a reset (reboot).? So connect it through a relay to ground the reset pin of the micro, and you will be able to reboot the TT4 remotely using the !OUT command.
?? You should read up on that before implementing.

At a quick glance, those would be my comments.

I'm wondering what is the command to have it say that its fixed? Currently it says mic-e where a normal digi says fixed, unsure if i can put details on the power and the antenna direction also my station says s instead of p when receiving packets on my ft2dr. I want to get this right since its going to be solar up in no mans land without access for months at a time. Current config as of now. the bperiod will change before it goes up the mtn. Any help is greatly appreciated!
