Problem changing fg & bg colors in Direwolf
I have sight issues and the default white background bothers me. I can go into "Properties" by right clicking title bar and I see 2 choices one for "colors" and the other for "terminal" so I am confused on which is the right tab to be in.? If I try changing colors it doesnt do anything. Please help! I want a BLACK background with GREEN and BLUE text.

Re: Very simple, low level texting possible??
This is the working UI "chatting" test build with hamlib PTT on the IC-F8101.? I am just sitting on 30m APRS channel to gather up some receptions.? Doing this forced me to flesh out my old UIKISSUtils class, so worth the fun diversion. John, your debugging info switches helped out a LOT.? Thanks for those.

Re: Direwolf, hamlib, and pi, oh my
Ah yup.? just had to blow away the build directory and start again .
hamlib latest and direwolf latest confirmed on IC-F8101 via USB CI-V control and USB sound card when set to the proper operating mode for the sound card.

Re: Direwolf, hamlib, and pi, oh my
Rick, Did it actually require *removing* direwolf or just a recompile/reinstall? Having a similar situation with the IC-F8101 rig (3086).? I helped the hamlib folks get that radio working but direwolf complains.
Hamlib error: Unknown rig model 3086.? Run "rigctl --list" for a list of model numbers.
rigctl is working fine with the radio, so it's not a hamlib issue. Mitch

Re: Very simple, low level texting possible??
I'm not remembering just which parts of
the AX.25 protocol are HDLC, but as a test of my own
understanding, the KISS interface to Direwolf may get you most of
the way there.? The AX.25 packet is fully formed in the KISS
packet by the client software.? AFAIK, the only thing Direwolf
does is the frame check sum, bit stuffing and actual audio
modulation.? On the receiving end, I'm not sure what parts need to
align other than the FCS in order to get the received "packet"
back to the KISS client.
Watching for John's definitive
clarification on my understanding and your planned usage.

Re: Very simple, low level texting possible??
I also made the error of setting up the HF radio for Direwolf which has no easily accessible PTT line (IC-F8101), so I haven't been able to do TX testing yet.? I see some rooting around in the sound card interface drawer in my future, for my EasyDigi to append to the FT-450D.

Re: Very simple, low level texting possible??
John,
Andreas Spiess (the guy with the swiss accent) sparked my interest with this video:
My thought was maybe I could get a APRS posit into the TTN (The Things Network), retrieve it with a
APRS gateway, which would inject it into the APRS network proper.
Haven't got much further than that, as I'm busily reading about the TTN. I'll add your hrot project
to my reading list.

Re: Very simple, low level texting possible??
Wow, there's a blast from the past!? I just ran across the UIChat v1.07 code the other day (it's on github now), and I even scrounged up some of the v2 code after an arduous search in the archives.
I have been "going down the road" that the OP was on also.? The UI frame (and AX.25 in general) is a rather cumbersome methodology that we have canonized for APRS and the rest.? APRS has been bastardized nearly beyond recognition now.? Time from some fresh meat.
The gears got to turning and I was thinking, "There has to be a better way." (because there is almost always a better way!).? So I did a search here to see if anyone had broached the subject of using Direwolf as nothing more than a CODEC (protocol-free Direwolf!? sounds like a political slogan), particularly the FEC variants now in play.? So in other words, if Direwolf will happily send and receive random data, I could then layer my own protocol and my typical extensions which make the "system" more flexible and manageable from an enterprise perspective.? I have an ARQ methodology that's a bit different than the AX.25 stuff, and geared well toward FEC enabled CODECs.
John, I have spent a LOT of time applying MQTT tech to radio systems in the past few years, so we have some common ground there as well.
Greetings once again all.? It's been a lot of years since I have been around this group.? Glad to see some familiar names still.

Re: Direwolf and Rig on a "Dual-purpose" Mobile Radio - Disable transmit if Radio is not on correct frequency?
Hello Roadie,
Kind of an oddball question; I've got Direwolf Set up with a
(windows) Computer and my IC-7100 in a 90% headless mobile set
up and it works well. However, occasionally our group will
switch over to a repeater or simplex frequency, and during this
changeover I have to connect my remote head (long story
involving wifi and vnc, which I primarily use when stopped) and
close Direwolf to avoid Direwolf Keying, but not transmitting
(due to not being in FM-D), a packet.
?
Is there a way that I'm missing (or should I submit a github
enhancement request?) to set up direwolf to only transmit if the
radio is on a configured frequency? This way I could just change
channels on the radio head and not have to connect to Direwolf
to Disable it (I know the linux builds have the ability to have
a GPIO Inhibit TX switch wired up as well, which may be an
avenue I end up going if windows can support it).
Direwolf does not have any awareness of what frequency your radio is
on so this isn't directly possible.? You already brought up the TX
Inhibit GPIO pin ideal but that's only available for Raspberry Pi
units and not Windows.? I wonder if some other mechanism could be
created to emulate this TX inhibit feature.? Some ideas could
include:
?? - Maybe some sort of software signal (UNIX signal, maybe WIndows
as something similar, etc) sent to the running Direwolf program to
toggle on/off the TX inhibit
?? - Maybe Direwolf can check for a lock file presence for the the
TX inhibit
?? - Maybe Direwolf for Windows can support GPIO pins -
?? - etc

Re: starting direwolf errors
Hey Clinton,
I’m using the command line from the
powerpoint
?
rtl_fm -f 144.39M -
| direwolf -c sdr.conf -r 24000 -D 1 –
What power point are you talking about?? Can you give a URL here??
As you can see, the "-" next to the 144.390M is shorter than the one
after the "-D 1".? It's that second one that's breaking things for
you.
I have the the baofeng and the rtl-sdr
connected to 2 different antennas, the radio antenna is in my
garage up about 9 feet and the rtl-sdr is in my office up about
4 feet, I will eventually move them but I am trying to get this
set up and going first.
What is your higher priority?? Sending or Receiving??? Whichever it
is, use antenna that is up 9ft with the priority radio as the height
will make a big difference.? I would recommend to connect the SDR to
the garage antenna so you get it away from hearing all the other
electrical noise in your office.
sudo apt-get install
cmake build-essential libusb-1.0-0-dev
cd ~
git clone git://git.osmocom.org/rtl-sdr.git
cd rtl-sdr
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../ -DINSTALL_UDEV_RULES=ON
-DDETACH_KERNEL_DRIVER=ON
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
I don't know why whatever PPT you're following here is recommending
to build from scratch.? That will get you the newest code (a good
thing) but it might not be well tested with your Rasberry Pi's OS
and it's other packages.? Unless you know you need some specific
bleeding edge code or feature, I don't recommend to go this route
unless required.
I think I have another rtl-sdr in my stash,
I’ll find it and see if that helps.
Ok
I did try the command grep “Dire Wolf
DEVELOPMENT” src/direwolf.c but that only returned the line
Grep: src/direwolf.c: No such file or
directory
That was for the other person on the email list who is running on
Windows.? Since you're not seemingly building Direwolf from source
code, you won't need to do this.
-- [ next email ]--
>I typed it in and I didn’t get as many errors but it freezes
up and doesn’t return the command prompt, plus I don’t see it
listed on the map
What map are you talking about?? Are you talking about something
like ?
>It still cannot open the sdr.conf file, in
bold (red)
>pi@raspberrypi:~/direwolf $
rtl_fm -f 144.39M - | direwolf -c sdr.conf -r 24000 -D 1 -
I see you're logged in as the "pi" user and you're in the
"direwolf" directory.? At the command line, if you run "ls -la",
do you see a sdr.conf file?? I bet you don't.? This PPT you're
following should have told you to make a copy.? Assuming your
Direwolf was installed from a packet, this should work fine:
?? cp /usr/share/doc/direwolf/conf/sdr.conf
~pi/direwolf
At that point, you'll need to edit this
sdr.conf file to fit your needs.? Please read the Direwolf User
Guide to learn how:
??
I also recommend to read the "Raspberry-Pi-SDR-IGate.pdf" doc as I
think this is what you're aiming for.
>Audio input device for receive: stdin? (channel 0)
>Audio out device for transmit: default?
(channel 0)
That first line looks much better now
That second line says you're routing the output audio to
"default".. aka PulseAudio.? That's ok but you will need to
configure that sdr.conf file to point to the sound device that
it's output is connected to the Baofeng radio.
>Found 1 device(s):
>Channel 0: 1200
baud, AFSK 1200 & 2200 Hz, E+, 24000 sample rate.
That looks good
>Note: PTT not configured for channel 0. (Ignore this if using
VOX.)
How are you going to key up the Baofeng HT??? YOu will need to
configure that in the sdr.conf file and have the required cable or
radio interface device (Signalink, etc) to make the radio key up.

That all looks ok.? Have you tried testing the rtl_fm program by
listening to it's output??? Try something like this but change the
frequency for a STRONG Broadcast FM radio station (this assumes
you have ALSA play installed):
??? rtl_fm -f 97.7M -W - | aplay -r 16k -f S16_LE -t raw -c 2 -D
default
if you cannot hear your chosen radio station
very clearly, you need to improve your antenna situation, your
SDR's gain settings, and your computer setup first.? Only once the
SDR is working with strong signals should you try APRS frequencies
which will be much weaker.

Hello Clinton,
I finally figured the issue with the install (updated commands are helpful) but when running direwolf I get the following errors.
For the "original steps" you were following, where did you read those?? Do you have a URL?
My set up is a baofeng UV5R+, RTL-SDR receiver R820T2, raspberry pi 3B+. Thank you for any help, yes I am new to this. The bold are the red error lines
Can you describe your setup?? Since you 're showing two radios here (a Baofeng and a RTL SDR), I hope you have these connected to two different antennas and they are placed far apart.? Unless you're very careful here, you can destroy your SDR if the Baofeng radio transmits into it.

This looks as if you're trying to take the output from rtl_fm and send it into Direwolf.? That's fine for receive.

You might be victim to a classic Microsoft copy and paste issue where Windows will translate a "-" hyphen character into a LONGer unicode character that looks similar but it's NOT.? In the command line start up or in the direwolf.conf file, be sure the input is using a real hyphen character.
Exact sample rate is: 1008000.009613 Hz r82xx_write: i2c wr failed=-9 reg=12 len=1 r82xx_set_freq: failed=-9

You might be victim to a classic Microsoft copy and paste issue where Windows will translate a "-" hyphen character into a LONGer unicode character that looks similar but it's NOT.? In the command line start up or in the direwolf.conf file, be sure the input is using a real hyphen character.
Exact sample rate is: 1008000.009613 Hz r82xx_write: i2c wr failed=-9 reg=12 len=1 r82xx_set_freq: failed=-9
Those errors don't look good though maybe not fatal.? Where did you get this RTL dongle?? Not all are equal and some of these are very poorly made, poorly supported, etc.

Hello Clinton,
I finally figured the issue with the install (updated commands are helpful) but when running direwolf I get the following errors.
For the "original steps" you were following, where did you read those?? Do you have a URL?
My set up is a baofeng UV5R+, RTL-SDR receiver R820T2, raspberry pi 3B+. Thank you for any help, yes I am new to this. The bold are the red error lines
Can you describe your setup?? Since you 're showing two radios here (a Baofeng and a RTL SDR), I hope you have these connected to two different antennas and they are placed far apart.? Unless you're very careful here, you can destroy your SDR if the Baofeng radio transmits into it.
? Includes optional support for:? cm108-ptt ERROR - Could not open config file sdr.conf Try using -c command line option for alternate location.
Please show us how you're trying to start Direwolf (the command line) as well as share us any configuration files.? It's clear here that Direwolf cannot find the "sdr.conf" file from the current directory you're in when you try to start Direwolf.

Hi David,
I'm on Windows 10 and I don't have build tools setup. The latest on the releases page is v1.7 A.
Should I move to the stable branch?

Subject: Re: [direwolf] Alternate KISS port
Hello Danny,
Direwolf v1.7A is a rather old version of the DEV branch as the
current version is 1.7E:
?? grep "Dire Wolf DEVELOPMENT" src/direwolf.c
?? --
?? dw_printf ("Dire Wolf DEVELOPMENT version %d.%d %s (%s)\n",
MAJOR_VERSION, MINOR_VERSION, "E",
__DATE__);
?? --
Can you try that version and report back?? If it still happens
there, it might very well be a bug.? If so, can you create a
Direwolf Github issue to track this against the DEV branch?
