Re: Anyone Using L76X GPS HAT?
Never used the L76X GPS hat, but if you give some configuration information, we might be able to help: There appears to be 2 method of connecting the L76X to the Pi: 1. Simplest would be to set the Jumpers in position B (control through the Raspberry Pi) and ?? Make sure the serial port (typically /dev/ttyAMA0) is configured for normal use ?? Check for NMEA data with something like minicom with ?????? minicom -D /dev/ttyAMA0 -b9600 ?? assumes default output is at 9600 baud 9per website) If you see NMEA sentences, change the direwolf.conf accordingly. 2. Option 2 would be to set the jumpers to A and add a USB cable between the L76X USB out and the Pi USB in. ?? This would be the same as you are currently using an external USB GPS. ?? This may seem a bit strange, but should work. Robert Giuliano

Re: Digipeater build.... not hearing packets
Did you use the exact same USB sound card or the laptop's sound card with UZ7HO?

If USB, definitely the alsamixer change should get you going. If not, try that.? Get thd USB card working on the laptop (not the laptop's sound card). ? It still could be cable routing. Robert Giuliano KB8RCO

Thanks again, John.? I have Direwolf running on a Pi 3b who's connected via a Signalink USB to a Yaesu FTM-6000 back in my shack. 73 |

Re: Digipeater build.... not hearing packets
Run alsamixer in a terminal, hit F6 key, move down to the soundcard you want, hit Enter.? Hit F5 key to show all settings.? The "Speaker" slider is obvious, audio-out.? Use up/down arrows keys to increase/decrease.? The next slider, "Mic", should be muted or at zero; it's for playback thru speakers what it hears on the mic-in, so that's no good for digital modes.? The next slider, "Capture, Mic", is audio-in from the radio, make sure it isn't muted and has some level indicated.? The last slider,"Auto Gain Control" should be muted.? Muting is toggled on/ff using the "M" key.? If a slider is muted, you'll see two "MM"s.? When finished, hit Escape to exit alsamixer.? The settings are saved automatically if you're using a Raspberry.? In other Linux flavors, run "sudo alsactl store" in a terminal to save the alsamixer settings.

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýYes.. I'm pretty sure you have incorrect mixer level settings. --David KI6ZHD On 09/24/2023 11:28 AM, Jon W7SEA

Let me know if I left off a test that might help diagnose.? I haven't had a chance to look up threads here on AT/Wouxun issues, but is it time for me to head down the Alsamixer path?? Is there any chance a line of code is wrong? |

Re: Digipeater build.... not hearing packets
Sorry if this was already mentioned. But ensure that "Auto Gain Control" is disabled on your device through the alsamixer tool.? Open alsamixer |

Re: ADEVICE with USB on Raspberry Pi
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýCould it be that PulseAudio is grabbing the audio device in a random manner. It happened here so I blocked the affected devices from PulseAudio with a udev entry.Create /etc/udev/rules.d/89-pulseaudio.rules use my content below as the starting point, suitably modified to fit your environment ...

Re: ADEVICE with USB on Raspberry Pi

Re: Digipeater build.... not hearing packets
That isn't the question.? You don't use the HT speaker, so you need to know audio is coming through the cables you are adding.
There are many times these special cables don't make good contact or make "double contact" and cause the audio to not actually go through. The pictures in the article you mention shows: ?? a) radio ?? b) cable that connects to the radio ?? c) Y-cable from that cable to the sound card mic input (radio speaker output) and headphone (radio mic) ?? d) USB sound card So, troubleshooting RX would mean you have to follow the audio from radio to USB sound card. ??? Do you have a way of connecting headphones or speakers to the radio and cable that directly connects to the radio. Audio chain a) and b). ??????? This is typically a TRRS type connection, unless you cable has 2 ports (mic and speaker) ??? If there is audio there, including static, add the next cable [ audio chain a), b), and c) ] ??????? Is there audio on the cable that goes to the USB sound card Mic input. ?? If there is and you have those connections correct (as mentioned above), then ??????? the most likely issue for receive would be the Mic settings - use alsamixer to adjust the settings there. ??? ------- Robert Giuliano KB8RCO |
