Configuring d-Rats for a Reflector?

[email protected]
 

Occasionally I see someone in the Chat tab say "XYZ Net on REF30C" or "AB1ABC is explaining the meaning of life on REF004C". So how to I get to REF30C or REF004C (which I assume are "reflectors") in D-Rats? Or can I? I've checked the on-line documentation but don't see it. I've looked on the DSTAR pages and don't see anything jump out about how to navigate to a specific reflector within d-Rats (which suggests to it's not possible - but I don't want to miss something). Any suggestions or a URL to the documentation?

Thanks!

I tried to set up a "Private Chat" with a friend on D-Rats the other night just to see how it works. I never did connect with him so I tried to close the windoe or chat session. There doesn't appear to be a way to close the Private Chat tab created. Now the "Tab" with my firends call sign just stays there in the chat window. How do I close it? I checked the manual and other than describing what it is, there doesn't appear to be any details on how to use it or, in my case, shut it down.

Thoughts?

Radio settings for ID-31A/51A

 

For thos with new ID-51A handhelds, here are the menu settings for D-RATS. I believe they will be the sam for the 31A, but someone please verify as I don't have a 31A.

GPS>GPS TX Mode = OFF, GPS>GPS Auto TX = OFF, DV Set>DV Data TX = Auto

By the way, I am using the RT Systems USB-RTS05 cable as the shell of the 2.5mm plug is very slim and fits completely in the data jack.

D-StarQuery D-RATS plugin

 

All,

There is a function within all Icom D-STAR repeaters that utilizes low-speed data called "D-StarQuery". You can find it as a part of the "D-Star Monitor (DSM)" and its located on /opt/dstarmon directory. Essentially, it is where you can send some commands (queries) using low speed data and access information from a repeater. I found the following website that describes it also briefly and shows how it operates. That website is the following: .

I ran across the following e-mail at and decided to attempt adding this on to D-RATS.
<<
Hi OMs, Happy New Year to all.

I've written a little "contrib" for D-RATS, a plugin who allow you to
perform a DStarQuery server for D-RATS networks!!!

The small server listen on 9100 port and every prefixed by ?* chat
message is analized to match with commands in the .ini file. You can
define commands as you need. See the examples.

Python source code and infos are in
.

I've tested it on a linux box only, windows users please report errors
or defects.

Comments, requests and suggests are welcome!

If you modify the source, please give a feedback to me.

73s de Leo, IZ5FSA
I 've downloaded the software and it is now running right now on the KC9SJY D-RATS station. It doesn't require a D-STAR repeater (ratflector) to run.
You simply run the command, as:
python d-rats_query 127.0.0.1 9100 <D-RATS port> (Not sure what the use for 9100 is and whether multiple D-RATS ports can be used)

Use of D-RATS ratflector is not required but can be utilized with this.
Let me know by e-mail if you would like to try it on the system here, otherwise, bring up D-RATS and watch for the QST for the information.
I haven't had any time in setting anything up, so, if you access anything by using this, it will be Italian.

Any questions about this, please feel free to ask.

Rasberry Pi Serial Port (was: Raspberry PI GURU NEEDED)

 

Thanks again Ed,

I had a MAX3232 chip and an RPi proto board so i wired up a homebrew interface.?I got the proto board so I could experiment a little with an RPi in at some future date.

I've also got some FTDI USB serial <--> USB cables () - I use them to make serial data CAT, CW ?and PTT cables for radios, but I only had RS-232 and 5V TTL level parts, no 3.3V cables.

Thanks again, I had no idea the IO pins included a serial port until you pointed it out!

You are right, the voltage level out of the Pi's UART are 0-3.3V and need to be converted to RS232 levels to be useful.? .? RS232 Level converter kits using the Maxim max3232 chip can be found from a variety of sources, online, search "raspbery pi rs232".?
A ready to go cable assembly can be found on eBay:

Also the serial port needs to be configured and the user granted permission to use the hardware.? The covers the use of the UART.

Hi Ed,

I didn't know the Pi had a serial port on it. Thanks!

Looks like its a 3.3V level signals - are you using any interface to shift to RS-232 levels?

I use the Debian weezy distribution on my Pi and also you should be able to use the Pi's serial port and not have to connect a USB to serial adapter.

All,

Getting D-RATS working on a Raspberry Pi platform is on my "to do" projects list, probably for this weekend. I moved my DVAP to an RPI a few weeks ago and would like to do the same with my ratflector, provided D-RATS is stable enough on that platform. It looks like the D-RATS package are in the repository.

Is there a specific Raspberry Pi image preference we want to start with? If not, I'll probably start out with the image I have my DVAP loaded in.

We need someone that is skilled in Linux that can handhold us through the installation of Linux distros and apt-get inputs to make the DRATS network function under the Raspberry PI platform.

The issue is that most of us are not schooled in the Linux command line inputs to get the job done.

We need Line by Line input commands to help us understand the Linux command line input.

It can get as simple as plug in your Raspberry Pi then wait for the prompt to say>>>>>>>>
input apt-get somthingThatIcantEverHopeToUnderstandButInstructMeNone
TheLess......

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide to the DRATS community!
