Re: Question about RAW packets from IF to Internet
Hello Koval,
?
I've
installed program. Here my station
;
Ok.. you're making a few jumps here and this really doesn't have
anything to do with Direwolf per se.? Regardless, I've filled in
some of the blanks:
?? - your station is UR3PHP-10
According to statistics tab I've received 919 packet from
UR5KSH
According to this aprsdirect.com page, your UR3PHP-10 station has
heard the UR5KSH-0 station 919 times (last heard 12/7/16) -
but per APRS.fi, there are only 14 packets -
(look at the bottom).? I've personally
never heard of aprsdirect and though the site looks pretty
impressive, I don't know how reliable it's data is.
According to RAW data I send information about my
position only.
"08.12.2016 05:53:10+01:00:
UR3PHP-10>APDW13,qAR,UR3PHP-10:!5045.33NR02521.80E&RaspberryPi
+ RTL-SDR"
Yes.. this is the same on aprsdirect.com as as well as aprs.fi.
But normally there should be some data from UR5KSH.
Something like
"08.12.2016 05:53:10+01:00:
UR3PHP-10>APDW13,qAR,UR5KSH-10:!5045.33NR02521.80E&Digipeater".
Which "UR5KSH" are you expecting this from? The -0 SSID?? Per
Aprs.fi

My question is. Is it a problem of aprsdirect site or
it's a problem of my config file?
Your direwolf config file would have ZERO impact on what different
APRS comment strings.?? If you're confident UR5KSH is sending a
different comment string, I would first look closer at what the
aprsdirect.com site is doing.
Why aprs.fi site doesn't
show UR5KSH station ?
Per , your station hasn't directly
heard UR6KSH-0 ever.? Are you sure it's an RF transmitter and not
just an RX-only Igate?

My question is. Is it a problem of aprsdirect site or it's a problem of my config file? Why aprs.fi site http://aprs.fi/info/a/UR3PHP-10 doesn't show UR5KSH station ? I am really confused.

Re: RasPi+Direwolf hangs after 5 min
The Pi is about 2.5 months old, and the wall power supply give 5 volts @ 2.5 amps and the battery pack will do a little more
?
Im sorry .. the Pi with the problem .. how long have you been using it?
Does the 5v source provide 3A ?
is where i seen a heating issue .... makes me think the output is DC coupled .. maybe nothing
to do with what your having.
I use Ebay listing 272378452099 .. its cheap from china and takes a slow boat around the planet it seemed ... mind you .. it has no case. Its not a potted CM-108 -- though iv not been able to use the GPIO's yet.

Re: RasPi+Direwolf hangs after 5 min
Hello Tim,
Machine 1:
Raspberry Pi 3 with latest firmware updates
Sound Card: USB CableCreation (Cheap off of Amazon)
Within 5 minutes of stating Direwolf hangs with:
[0L]
KD9DCS-5>APDW13,WIDE2-1:T#275,1,a,9,9,3
[0L] KD9DCS-5>APDW13,WIDE2-1:T#276,10,a,9,9,3
Audio input device 0
error: Input/output error
As you can see it sent 276 packets and then nothing ...
A few thoughts here:
1. Direwolf is known to be somehwhat temperamental with some cheap
USB sound cards.? I recommend to splurge and by a $7 Syba unit
2. Direwolf is known to not like having the USB sound card behind a
USB hub.? Make sure yours is directly connected to the Rpi itself
3. RFI from your radio can cause all kinds of weird issues.? As an
experiment, try unconfiguring PTT in the direwolf.conf file (makes
Direwolf think your using VOX) and see if things work longer that
5minutes.? If it DOES work longer, you probably have an RFI issue.?
You'll want to install various ferrite chokes, shielded cables, etc.
to resolve this
The original packets are being decoded correctly on
another machine connected via audio patch cable
Oh.. so no RF transmitter is involved in this test?? Even then, you
could be getting voltage differentials across the grounds.? Btw, I
assume you installed decoupling capacitors between the microphone
jack on one sound card going into the speaker jack of the other
sound card?? This is VERY important or you can potentially fry BOTH
soundcards if they have a microphone bias voltage but don't include
a decoupling cap.
dmesg shows an error:
[? 689.867115] Transfer to device 5 endpoint 0x2 frame

You might want to read this thread which I found by simply Googling
your error above:
? ?
Is your Rpi running the newest version of Raspbian:
?? sudo apt-get update
?? sudo apt-get upgrade
?? sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
?? sudo apt-get install rpi-update
?? sudo rpi-update
Once everything goes well, then do:
?? sudo reboot
If those are new steps to you, I encourage you to read:

the Rpi can properly power all USB devices (it can't)

How long has this Pi been running ... might be a voltage problem.
look back through the log ....
was the C-media on the same buss?
Bus 001 Device 005
or did it disappear and and come back?
Interesting .. another Cm-108 variant .. CM-108AH --- is that what dmesg reports?

Re: High School Radio Club with Telemetry Setup Question
Hello Timothy,
?
I was hoping to use TBEACON with embedded
telemetry in the same way that telem-balloon.conf uses
PBEACON (see lines 38-40). If I understood your reply
correctly it just isn't supported, and would be better
implemented as separate TBEACON for position only and
CBEACONs for the telemetry data.
It's more a matter of not having enough space in the APRS packet
payload.? With that said, you can do anything with the CBEACON
payload you want.? As long as your software can decode it, then more
power to you!? This is the power of being a HAM!
With the rate that car club wants to see this
data my plan was to stay far away from 144.390 . I
know I will end up monopolizing whatever frequency I end
up on, but it will only be for an hour or so on only a
few days out of the entire year. I am working with local
hams that are more experienced than I to find the best
frequencies, and goal is always to use the lowest power
possible. No one wants to be that guy.
You're saying all the right things an I fully imagine there are
available experimental frequencies in the digital portion of your
local bandplan that will work.
If placing a
Tracker w/ telemetry unit on each of 6-8 cars with the
goal of being able to receive data from these cars in?
as close to real-time as possible.
What would be the better design:
Option 1: All cars on the same frequency (not 144.39)
Option 2: Each car on it's own frequency.
That depends on several factors but for #1, assuming that each
transmitter has a GPS signal with the PPS signal to ensure very
accurate time AND you can come up with a schedule to have each of
these eight stations interleaving their packets in a given minute,
it might work.? Now, since you're also using SMARTBEACON, I don't
think you'll have very consistent and deterministic beacon timing.?
As some point, I bet you'll start to see packet collisions.? APRS,
using unacknowledged AX.25 UI frames, will just "loose" those
packets.? I'm assuming that you plan on also recording all of these
packets to an onboard storage device so after the race, you can fill
in any possible gaps.? For #2, this reduces the collision risk but
then you also need another dedicated receiver for that frequency.?
That does make things a bit more complicated though sometimes maybe
using an SDR can keep at least the hardware complexity down.
Ultimately, you need to review why you really need "near real
time".? For a race that takes almost an hour, I would think that
getting data from the car every minute or even half-minute would be
perfectly fine.

Re: High School Radio Club with Telemetry Setup Question
David,
Thank you again for your reply.
You are right, I
am not afraid of Linux, just not as strong in it as I would like to be.
(Basically anything using grep makes almost zero sense but that is a
different issue).
The programmer in me has zero problems using
method calls as parameters into other methods, but I guess the idea (and
practice) of using separate programs/scripts as arguments to a program
was were my mind was blocking.
I was hoping to use TBEACON with
embedded telemetry in the same way that telem-balloon.conf uses PBEACON
(see lines 38-40). If I understood your reply correctly it just isn't
supported, and would be better implemented as separate TBEACON for
position only and CBEACONs for the telemetry data.
With the rate that car club wants to see this data my plan was to stay far away from 144.390
. I know I will end up monopolizing whatever frequency I end up on, but
it will only be for an hour or so on only a few days out of the entire
year. I am working with local hams that are more experienced than I to
find the best frequencies, and goal is always to use the lowest power
possible. No one wants to be that guy.
Looks like I have some
more testing ahead of me. (Just finished a python script to read data
from the serial port in a way it could be called/passed as a parameter
into infocmd=")
In your opinion would it be best to start a new discussion with my next question, or continue this thread?
The question(s) would be:
If
placing a Tracker w/ telemetry unit on each of 6-8 cars with the goal
of being able to receive data from these cars in? as close to real-time
as possible.
What would be the better design:
Option 1: All cars on the same frequency (not 144.39)
Option 2: Each car on it's own frequency.
There
are obviously pro's and con's to each set-up, but this post is already
getting too long. So I'll stop here for tonight and await your next
reply.
Again, thank you for your support. Quoting your first email this is a really cool project!

Re: High School Radio Club with Telemetry Setup Question
Hello Timothy,
?
2. Send telemetry data (battery voltage
and current draw) from the car's on-board cycle analyst via
a serial connection to the raspberry pi. -- Here is where
our questions really lie.
Ok...
Does the TBEACON support the COMMENTCMD?
No.. it only sends fixed telemetry but I think you're overlooking a
key point.? Different Direwolf beacons run all independently.? This
means that you can have PBEACONS, OBEACONS, TBEACONS, and CBEACONS
all running at the same time at different intervals sending
different data.? Per the APRS_Telemetry doc, it's example sends:
The command "direwolf -c telem-volts.conf" would send out the
following beacons on their specific schedule:
--
MYCALL-9>APDW13,WIDE2-1::MYCALL-9 :PARM.Supply
MYCALL-9>APDW13,WIDE2-1::MYCALL-9 :UNIT.Volts
MYCALL-9>APDW13,WIDE2-1:T#1,4.808
MYCALL-9>APDW13,WIDE2-1:T#2,4.797
MYCALL-9>APDW13,WIDE2-1:T#3,4.808
MYCALL-9>APDW13,WIDE2-1:T#4,4.802
MYCALL-9>APDW13,WIDE2-1:T#5,4.807
--
If you look in that conf file, you'll see the various beacons.? The
first two lines are the EQNS lines to define what the future
telemetry data represents.? These simple text lines are sent every
minute (an extremely fast rate for APRS so that should be on one of
the alternative APRS frequencies in your area to not clog up the
national 144.390 frequency.
--
CBEACON delay=0:10 every=1:00 via=WIDE2-1 infocmd="telem-parm.pl
MYCALL-9 Supply"
CBEACON delay=0:11 every=1:00 via=WIDE2-1 infocmd="telem-unit.pl
MYCALL-9 Volts"
--
The next CBEACON is actually getting the A2D data via the Python
script.. then running that output through Perl script to put it into
the required APRS Telemetry format.? It does this every 10 seconds.?
For your application, you might do this every second or so.
--
CBEACON delay=0:15 every=0:10 via=WIDE2-1 infocmd="telem-data.pl
`telem-seq.sh`
`PYTHONPATH=~/Adafruit-Raspberry-Pi-Python-Code/Adafruit_ADS1x15
telem-volts.py`"
--
Does this still all work with SMARTBEACONING?
? The only slight difference here is that the "SMARTBEACON"
parameter changes the transmission rate of the TBEACONS (tracker
beacons) which shows your location.? Again, the TBEACONS (which has
the modified transmission times per the SMARTBEACON parameter),
CBEACONS, etc. all run in parallel!
The parameter examples show perl, python, and bash
script but doesn't really give clear guidance on what each
does
It seems you're not the familiar with Linux.? Let me translate for
you:?? infocmd="telem-data.pl `telem-seq.sh`
`PYTHONPATH=~/Adafruit-Raspberry-Pi-Python-Code/Adafruit_ADS1x15
telem-volts.py`"
Run the program "telem-data.pl" perl script but as part of it's TWO
command line arguments:
?? Argument #1 - run the telem-seq.sh script and use it's output as
the argument
?? Argument #2 - Giving a Python path for various Python libraries
first, now run the telem-volts.py" script and use it's output as the
second argument
In this example, this CBEACON runs four times and it creates the
output:
??? T#1,4.808
???
T#2,4.797
???
T#3,4.808
???
T#4,4.802
???
T#5,4.807
Which stands for:
?? Telemetry packet : sequence #1 : voltage: 4.808v
?? Telemetry packet : sequence #2 : voltage: 4.797v
?? Telemetry packet : sequence #3 : voltage: 4.808v
?? Telemetry packet : sequence #4 : voltage: 4.802v
?? Telemetry packet : sequence #5 : voltage: 4.807v
Make sense?
Could
calling three different systems be made more efficient by
using just one script that ends up echoing what the
combination of all of them do?
Sure.. go ahead and write it and submit it to John WB2OSZ for
inclusion in Direwolf.? That's what OpenSource is all about.? I
think why this was done this way is that John didn't write the
Python A2D code.. the people at Adafruit did.? He's simply
demonstrating the power of Linux being able to mix and mash
different programs together to make it work.

Background on the project is as follows...
Our school has a super mileage vehicle club (SMV) that build high endurance "cars" and races them for fuel efficiency. ? last year one of there cars averaged over 100 mpg. In the spring they race their cars at Road America a large race track. They have always wanted to get "real-time" status of their cars to better game the race.?
The SMV advisor saw that the radio club was able to send/receive data at distances greater than 5 miles and asked us to take on a joint project.?
Project goals: 1. Near real-time reporting of GPS position data -- (we have this already working using a TBEACON and GPSD.
2. Send telemetry data (battery voltage and current draw) from the car's on-board cycle analyst via a serial connection to the raspberry pi. -- Here is where our questions really lie.
Does the TBEACON support the COMMENTCMD? Does this still all work with SMARTBEACONING?
The examples show perl, python, and bash script but doesn't really give clear guidance on what each does.?
It looks like telem-data.pl just concatenates the arguments that are passed to it. ?
and telem-volts.conf line 27 just calls?telem-data.pl with a shell script (telem-seq.sh) and a Python script.?
Could calling three different systems be made more efficient by using just one script that ends up echoing what the combination of all of them do??
Hope this helps to focus what we are looking for thank you to everyone for your help.

Re: High School Radio Club with Telemetry Setup Question
Hello Timothy,
?
Name here is Timothy (KD9DBG) and the high
school radio club that I advise (KD9DCS) is trying to build
GPS and telemetry beacons for our school's super mileage
vehicles.
Cool project!
Have come to the conclusion that we need
to use CBEACON and INFOCMD or COMMENTCMD (if embedding the
data in a position report)
The GPS data is correctly
coming in through GPSD (does the COMMENTCMD work with
TBEACON?)
You're a bit all over the place here.? Can you tell us what you're
trying to do?? I would think that the TBEACON examples in the
Raspberry-Pi-APRS-Tracker.pdf document would be sufficient.? No?
I guess the question comes down to could
we just use one perl or python or other language script to
grab the serial data, put it in the right order/format?
CBEACON delay=0:15
every=0:05 via=WIDE2-1 infocmd=""
What would be in this CBEACON that isn't covered in say the TBEACON?
If CBEACON is what you want, have you reviewed the
telemetry-toolkit/telem-volts.conf example configuration file?

High School Radio Club with Telemetry Setup Question
Good day All,?
Name here is Timothy (KD9DBG) and the high school radio club that I advise (KD9DCS) is trying to build GPS and telemetry beacons for our school's super mileage vehicles. Our question lies in the script(s) needed to send the telemetry data to direwolf. ?
We have read many times both the user guide and the telemetry tool kit guide and examples.
Have come to the conclusion that we need to use CBEACON and INFOCMD or COMMENTCMD (if embedding the data in a position report)
The GPS data is correctly coming in through GPSD (does the COMMENTCMD work with TBEACON?)
In the tool kit there are both perl and python scripts.?
It seems that the perl script is called by direwollf and the python script is called by the perl script?
when looking at the perl script it apears to just bring everything together as a string and echo it back.?
I guess the question comes down to could we just use one perl or python or other language script to grab the serial data, put it in the right order/format?
CBEACON delay=0:15 every=0:05 via=WIDE2-1 infocmd=""
I think that is it for now, there will be more questions in the future (like the adviser for the car club just saw our prototype and asked us to expand the system from 1 car to 8 cars)
Thank you for your time and assistance,?

Re: Transmitter stays keyed too long. T/R Delay rime
I have a dry sense of humor too. Love the Watts comment :)

I apologize - it was meant as a dry bit of humor, perhaps it was a bit
too dry.
A bit like the time I drily asked someone on Usenet if they were
measuring metric
or Imperial Watts.
