Re: Add Bluetooth…
开云体育Completely agreed, direwolf+bluetooth is a great combo, extend it to the ax.25 network stack on the pi as well,?? cool, -craig KM6LYW On 5/1/22 2:52 PM, J K via groups.io

Re: Direwolf as a TNC Help
So I have found if I set direwolf to
PTT /dev/ttyUSB1 -DTR RTS That I find functional. Now to figure out why nothing else understands it when it transmits. |

开云体育I'm running Bluetooth to a Pi 2 Zero W
with Direwolf as KJ4OVQ-9.? I connect to it from my
APRSISMO/TestHost Android application when I'm in the vehicle to
become a mobile IGate.? It only does SPP and not BLE, so iPhones
don't even try it.

Re: Direwolf as a TNC Help
It's definitely got to be a application issue. I've found threads where others have had the issue and worked around the problem but quite frankly I shouldn't have to work around the problem, that's why I bought a sound serial interface device, to minimize the clutter and optimize space and power consumption. |

Re: Direwolf as a TNC Help
开云体育Hello Patrick, Well dad gum, I could have SWORE for the life of me I tried that On you original post to the [email protected] list, you posted: ?? "RTS DTR -> FSK & PTT flash on for a moment then turn off" Do you have any idea what you changed since that first post on 4/29 @ 1pm until now? Next, you sent a follow up email stating "It keys, it sends but my other station doesn't decode it. ".? That sounds like a standard audio level tuning issue.? What is your receiving radio?? Is it also running Direwolf?? Regardless, check out what I wrote up about this for a few other sound cards: ?? I'm not sure how the SCU-17 will present itself to alsamixer so you might need to make all the changes via the SCU-17's physical knobs. --David KI6ZHD |

Re: Direwolf as a TNC Help
So it's keying but not decoding on the other end, I assume FSK is likely the issue but I really don't know.
It keys, it sends but my other station doesn't decode it. It's currently going into a dummy load at 5W so I doubt it can be heard much further away than my approximate location. Direwolf shows it's trying to send it |

I swapped RTS and DTR back and fourth and they both worked though it is triggering FKS and PTT at the same time it is working and I've successfully sent some messages to myself. I tried some other combinations and got a dead key, but whatever, RTS DTR seems to do it, very weird On 5/1/22 14:38, Lee Bengston wrote:

The only line that worked in direwolf.conf was this: PTT /dev/ttyUSB0 RTS DTR At the time I implemented the above, it was not considered a valid option based on my interpretation of what's in the manual, but it worked.? If it hasn't been tried already you might want to try the above and also try reversing RTS and DTR in the line if the above doesn't work. Of course change the serial port to match yours. 73, Lee K5DAT On Sun, May 1, 2022 at 3:25 PM Patrick <kd7wpq@...> wrote: Understood, but toggling the switch should only switch the PTT method |

Re: Direwolf as a TNC Help
Understood, but toggling the switch should only switch the PTT method whether that by PTT or FSK in accordance to the signal it receives, be that RTS or DTR, but I digress, if my buddy and I have no luck I will give that a go, pull it out and do some tinkering.
I'm still curious why I can get PTT in FLDigi without a issue but not Direwolf, or rather it works correctly. Another thing I thought about doing is grabbing one of my USB serial adapters that shows what signals are being sent via LEDs on the adapter and seeing what it shows me. I'll report back when I have more results. |

Re: Direwolf as a TNC Help
开云体育Hello Patrick, It's a pretty remote possibility that this is a code bug since 1000s of people are successfully using Direwolf.? The unique thing here is that you're using the Yaesu SCU-17 device with matching Yaesu cable which many people don't have.? I would imagine you can make it work but you need to work your way through the testing steps I've offered to confirm you're actually getting the signals you expect.? To me, your core issue seems to be showing up with FSK led lighting up symptom.? It would be interesting to see if toggling that switch inside the radio body itself to see how that changes your outcome. --David KI6ZHD On 05/01/2022 12:45 PM, Patrick wrote:

Re: Direwolf as a TNC Help
Nope, I have FLRig and FLDigi configured to use my 857 by default.
FLRig is pointed to /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2105_Dual_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_00AC0110-if00-port0 Firewolf (/dev/ttyUSB1) is configured to use /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2105_Dual_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_00F8CEC3-if01-port0 No other applications are running using those devices unless I open them And just for the heck of it I just configured FLDigi to use Hardware PTT (CAT turned off) to /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2105_Dual_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_00F8CEC3-if01-port0 with "Use RTS" checked, closed the config window and clicked on "Tune" and it keyed up. Click Tune again (to turn it off) and PTT let go. |

Re: Direwolf as a TNC Help
What about Flrig? Are you using that with Fldigi? If so, Flrig is the program that is owning the serial port, not Fldigi, so it is what has to be shut down before starting DireWolf.

Re: Direwolf as a TNC Help
I'll ask the obvious question: ?? You aren't trying to use /dev/ttyUSB1 when both FLDigi and Direwolf are running? ?? Being more specific, you are sure FLDigi is 'dropping' its connection to /dev/ttyUSB1 before you start Direwolf? Robert Giuliano
