Re: update/upgrade
I see what you are saying. I did not download the file and I have now. I did not get as far as I needed to to find the pertinent information. Maybe I'll give it a spin and see what happens. Thanks. On Sun, Jul 14, 2024 at 6:54?PM WB2OSZ via <wb2osz=[email protected]> wrote:

Re: I am in need of major help
Well, for all the help I can be, this is a good place to start. Download and install the Imager to your laptop or whatever computer you use for general purpose stuff. Plug the SD card from the Pi into the card slot on your laptop. You write the SD from a computer other than the RPi.? Follow the instructions/questions that the Imager will ask you. DO put in the network SSID and password, the capability to use the Pi 'headless' will be of benefit. Put in a user name and password for the Rpi and WRITE IT DOWN. This will get the Rpi running and you can access it from your general purpose computer using Putty or some other similar program. Using Putty is quite easy once you get used to how it works and I'll bet there is a Youtube video on how to do it. If you get this up and running you are on your way. Loading and configuring Direwolf is another adventure after you get the Pi running,? Like I tell my wife. One disaster at a time.... If you are successful and get the RPi running at this point, you can download Baleena Etcher and copy your now working SD card to another blank card, so if disaster strikes, you have a working backup. See how you make out to this point and come back again. Someone will be here to answer your next questions. On Sun, Jul 14, 2024 at 1:26?PM Don Rolph via <don.rolph=[email protected]> wrote:

Re: I am in need of major help
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýWell first off: is your OS running and can hook log into your pi?What version PI (3, 4, 5, PIZero 2W) are you using? What sound card interface are you using? What radio are you using? On Jul 6, 2024, at 5:18?PM, cwfd37 via groups.io <cwfd37@...> wrote:

Re: update/upgrade
It appears that the .pdf recommended is for connecting the radio to the interface. The interface being whatever method is decided upon. I very much do not need information on how to connect a radio to the computer for instance. My problem is the OS upgrade disabling the IO on the RPi. The problem is software, not hardware. This gateway WAS working fine until I did an update/upgrade and then it was AFO. On Sun, Jul 14, 2024 at 11:34?AM Gil Rand via <gilrand=[email protected]> wrote:

Re: update/upgrade
David, your instructions at section 24c do not work as they are. sudo mv create-new-direwolf-deb.sh /usr/local/bin This works and creates the file but when I go to execute, after cd /usr/local/bin and ./, I get, This line does not appear to exist yet:cd /usr/src/archive/Rpi-scratch/direwolf/direwolf There is no .../archive/....This line does exist, and a create-new...sh does exist. Is this the script I should execute from this location? On Sat, Jul 13, 2024 at 1:58?PM WB2OSZ via <wb2osz=[email protected]> wrote: It is easy to accommodate this new type of GPIO access. |

Re: update/upgrade
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHello Gil,So, before I bothered to find out what the repercussions of doing a update/upgrade, I went ahead and did it. Now I see that the OS upgrade to Bookworm has thrashed the operation of the IO on the RPi. The general consensus for repair appears to be an upgrade to 1.8 Direwolf, and a re-compile. Yup.. a serious bummer.? Blame the stewards of the Raspberry Pi OS for doing major changes mid-release to the Bookworm version.? <sigh> As there seems to be no tutorial, and I am not a programmer, I am effectively no longer providing the only area two way APRS internet gateway access. At this point I am not willing to continue this fight, so I am QRT, at least until a tutorial appears, and then I will have to see if I want to spend a lot of time going through all the pain and suffering of a rebuild. This has been documented in the Direwolf User Guide ( ) for many years - Section 5.? I know it sounds intimidating but it's not difficult and once you do it a few times, it's really not a big deal.? If you would like more of a Cookbook style set of instructions of how to do this which also creates proper Debian-style packages, you can follow my guide at: ? ???? - Follow section 17, then 24.c --David KI6ZHD |

Evan VandenLangenberg
Thank you all. One of the members here reached out and is really helping me out. Like I figured I was messing it all up as I said I really don't understand the pi but am getting a much better understanding of it now. Hopping to be up and running by the end of the week but in need of some cables I am waiting on.??

Re: I am in need of major help
Do you have the RPi up and running by itself, or is this a ground up install? Have you used the "Imager" to write the operating system to the SD card? If you used the "Imager" software to write the SD card, you can select the parameters for the RPi install to access your network, and to operate "Headless" (without a monitor and keyboard). This is probably a good place to start, as you can then access the RPi from another computer on the network and load what you want through the remote. From what I can see of the conversation you have not provided much information regarding what OS you are running and the configuration information. It will make it impossible for you to get help without some details. The RPi is NOT like a windows machine as the cut/copy/paste functions very differently. In Windows you can highlight the line, right click and copy. In Linux, it's like click (hold) highlight and then copy by pressing the center button on the mouse (wheel). I hope I got that right as I do it without thinking about it now. To copy from a web page, highlight the line of code, right click and copy. To paste, go to a terminal window (in Linux) and center button. You will have to mess with it a bit to get familiar, but it sounds like you missed a couple of the basics, which is very frustrating.

Re: I am in need of major help
Hello, Evan.
Don't give up.? There are a lot of people here ready to help. Many others have been successful and you will be too. Look for the file called Raspberry-Pi-APRS.pdf in Tell us precisely where you get stuck. It sounds like you might need some more basic instruction about the Raspberry Pi. This might be a good place to start: ? 73, John WB2OSZ |

Re: I am in need of major help
Maybe you could post your progress. ?The very first post by Jason pointed you to a document that gives the exact steps to install dependencies and compile Direwolf.
?
So first question, did you get the dependencies installed? ?If not then post the error you get when installing them.
Also post which pi 3,4,5?? and also which distribution is on the pi.
?
To get help you must provide more details.

Re: I am in need of major help
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHello Evan, If you're willing to keep trying, I'm sure many people here on this list would be happy to help but you need to give us something to answer.? Can you copy/paste in some errors, screen shots.. something for us to help you with? --David KI6ZHD On 07/08/2024 09:43 AM, Evan

I'm running a rx only igate with a pi5 and a sdrplay rsp1b. It's been working for weeks. I tail -F x.log on another computer to
watch it run.

Re: I am in need of major help
Evan VandenLangenberg
Every youtube video that I try to follow the program states that there is a new way of doing it. And then I can't seem to find the sound card port that it is looking for. So I am unsure what to do at this time. I am beond frustrated at this point. From what I read before doing this everyone said this was easy. Well I have been at this for over two weeks and have gotten nowhere. What am I doing wrong.?
