Re: Direwolf and PiGate for Winlink

 

Does it support acting as a RMS Gateway, Craig? (Fair warning, I'm fairly new to Winlink)

Compact?? low power?? Raspberry Pi? ? Winlink? ??

I can shamelessly self promote a DigiPi? that does all this and more, many instances in the field now.

Always looking for feedback and developers too.

KM4ACK has a great build-a-pi also (need to confirm it runs LinuxRMS for Winlink services)

Re: Local filter to suppress bulletin packets?

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

My HT radio message list fills with BLN* messages from all over the world, it hits the packet limiter on direwolf, suppressing legit traffic.

I wrote the owners of DALLAS and T2QUEBEC, no answer.? now blacklisted.??

The emphasis of my digi is message-type packets, so I can't just ban all messages.?

So far the local "group" filter is banning messages to callsigns BLN*.


fingers crossed,

Hello Craig,

Do you have any examples of one of these APRS-IS flooding events?? Are you sure they are all bulletin type messages?? To me, the better solution would be to work with the APRS-IS folks to fix their systems vs. block all bulletins from APRS-IS as it's a pretty powerful messaging service though it's rather underutilized.

FILTER IG 0 ( t/m & ! g/BLN* ) | ( t/w & b/KM6LYW-3 )

"only message-type packets which are not addressed to group BLN*,? or allow weather packets from KM6LYW-3"

Re: Configuring PTT on Windows 10

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý


The cm108-ptt feature for Windows is new to the v1.7 beta version but if it behaves anything like the Linux version, it should automatically associate the correct HID parameter for the specific sound device you defined in ADEVICE (the sound device).? Looking at your output below, it seems like Direwolf has found a port and accepted it.? Is Direwolf NOT keying up your radio?? If you look at section 9.2.9.5 in the User Guide, you should see more details on getting this working.?


There is also another thread (though for Linux) on getting a DRA device working:

Re: dw-start.sh will not run from crontab

 

Hi Bob...

Very elegant solution.? dw-cron is working perfectly.? It appears my initial problem was the result of nano writing crontab out as a MSDOS file.? Not being a regular nano user, it took me a couple of tries to figure out this was the problem.

Thanks much for the help and guidance.

73, Joe


Re: dw-start.sh will not run from crontab

 

Crontab are used to run programs at specific time.
This requires a specific layout within the crontab.

So 2 things:
1. I'd create a specific crontab bash script and call it only from crontab
??? We'll name it dw-cron.sh
??? In that script, you put the supplied code <see below>?
??? Make sure this file is executable
??? Assumption is that this file (dw-cron.sh) is in the home directory
2. In crontab file, follow the format so that the file in number 1 is called at a specific interval
??? In the example below, the dw-cron.sh script should be run 2x per hour at 15 and 45 minutes after the hour.
???

---------- dw-cron.sh --------------
#!/bin/bash
#
# file: dw-cron.sh
#???? called from crontab to check if direwolf is running
#???? if it is not running, it will restart
#

if ! pgrep direwolf > /dev/null; then
?? /home/pi/dw-start.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 &
fi

-------- end ---------------

----- crontab -----
# Edit this file to introduce tasks to be run by cron.
#
# Each task to run has to be defined through a single line
# indicating with different fields when the task will be run
# and what command to run for the task
#
# To define the time you can provide concrete values for
# minute (m), hour (h), day of month (dom), month (mon),
# and day of week (dow) or use '*' in these fields (for 'any').

15,45 * * * * * /home/pi/dw-cron.sh
-------- end ---------------


I have not tried these exact examples (never used pgrep before), but have used cron for other tasks where I have called scripts.
The alternative would be to directly call the dw-start.sh script with
???? 15,45 * * * * * /home/pi/dw-start.sh
but if direwolf is already running, I am pretty sure it will start another instance and try to use the same settings.

Re: dw-start.sh will not run from crontab

 

Doing a search on "cron bad fd number" shows that the issue is with the shell.
">& is the csh syntax (also supported by zsh and recent versions of bash) to redirect both stdout and stderr to a file."

The listed fix was a bash script (which included a check to ensure the application was not already running).? Modified their script for 'direwolf':
if ! pgrep direwolf > /dev/null; then 
  /home/pi/dw-start.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 &
fi
So you may only be looking for /home/pi/dw-start.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 &
See if that helps.

Hi Ian

Here is the output from your command (DW started normally):

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat output.txt

RealVNC found - defaults to connecting to the :0 root window
Direwolf in GUI mode start up
DISPLAY=:0
-----------------------
pi@raspberrypi:~ $

Line 1, dw-start.sh (first uncommented line):

#? CLI mode is suited for say a Raspberry Pi running the Jessie LITE version
#????? where it will run from the CLI w/o requiring Xwindows - uses screen

I just stumbled on something else.
Using PTT /dev/ttyUSB1 RTS does key and unkey the 991, but only on sideband, LSB or USB, not FM or AM.

76??? FM PKT PTT SELECT??? was? DTR. I changed that to RTS. Direwolf now beacons correctly. I don't know if the data is formatted correctly, but it is keying/unkeying.

Thank you very much.
