Just the opposite. I was asking if all I need to do is add?gpiod?and?libgpiod-dev to the updated Bookworm and change my direwolf.conf file.? I'm already running DW 1.8A.

You will still need to re-compile Direwolf 1.8A once the libgpiod-dev package is installed so it can been seen and linked in.? See this output of a new build on a 64bit Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm 12.2.4 Rpi:

The `1` on the end of the @reboot line got lost.

btw, to just print the actual users crontab you can use `crontab -l`

Still nothing, no auto start as of yet.

John, Thanks so much, works absolutely awesome.?

Question on the SMARTBEACINING, if there is no movement does it stop altogether or just wait the max.? I will have to play with that setting to get it like i would need if I can get it to function.

Are you asking if you can switch to gpiod on an older non-Bookworm version OS?? If so, there might be other dependencies you will also have to install but I can confirm that gpiod is in Bullseye, Buster, and even Stretch has gpiod.? To be clear, you will also need to switch to using the Direwolf "Dev" branch which has the new Direwolf v1.8 code, recompile Direwolf, and use that new version.

As I noted in an earlier response, I ran into this yesterday right after an update. I would rather bite the bullet now rather than in the future. For Direwolf, is this a simple matter of installing gpiod and libgpiod-dev and then changing the direwolf.conf file?

If you want to operate without an audio device put this in your config file:

ADEVICE? udp:9999? null

If you want to send a GPS position report to APRS-IS rather than a radio use this:

TBEACON? sendto=IG? .......

No different than the
ethernet / wifi naming issue
removal / changing of the camera functionality
any other number of changes made by the program developers @ RPiFoundation, who have by actions have shown they have changed their focus to the commercial side instead of what gave them the capabilities to create in the first place.

I gave up on them a few reversions back. In order to 'beat the system' I began using the tool that they use to build my own images with the reversals enabled to maintain the software I used, but I've given that up because they made no way to reverse the most recent changes. I'm on debian 11 and debian 12 for almost everything, using m73TFF and Lenovo ideapad 3s running xcp-ng and docker to multi-task my tools...?

Yah, this is an epic disaster for five reasons,

1) breaks every gpio document on the internet
2) breaks direwolf
3) gpiozero (the lauded replacement) burns half a cpu just to monitor a button, nobody there cares
4) gpiod requires 30 lines of python to monitor a button
5) You need different code depending on which Pi model you're using

it's a huge disservice to the educational/pi community.

Thanks for the replies.
Lee, thats eactly where I started. Didn't work for me as configured, I changed the "pi" to my home dir and it would give me 340+ lines on the journal file.
I kept making little changes until I got to where I am and it looks like it almost starts.

Andrew, While I understand your point about what the software is first and foremost, I got the idea right from the direwolf gihub page.
doc/Raspberry-Pi-APRS-Tracker.pdf
I can run the direwolf command in CLI and it functions as I would like, just would like to be able to auto start it.
Look up AK7AN-3 to see the output on APRS.fi

Still working on it
Thanks

The fundamental problem here is that Direwolf is a audio-to-packet TNC first and foremost, so it expects to have some sort of audio interface to a radio to receive and send AX.25 packet tones. It is not meant to operate without such an interface. That's why Direwolf keeps exiting when it can't find the audio interface.

If you really want a "tracker" that must not use AX.25 packet over a radio, don't use Direwolf. :-)

That is what programs like aprx are for.

Andrew, KA2DDO

Your crontab entry is trying to run the program every minute. You want
it like this:

@reboot /home/ak7an/dw-start.sh >/dev/null 2>&1

Trying to setup a Raspberry Pi 3B+ running Bookworm as a tracker only. I went through the Direwolf install process without setting up a radio, soundcard, and PTT. Added GPSD, was never able to see my device on /ttyAMCO, however I see it on /tty/USB0.? Recompiled after all the GPSD installs. I can run cgps -s and see all the sat info and Lat/Lon, altitude etc. Edited the direwolf.conf, set MYCALL to AK7AN-3, generated a password entered that and selected noam for my server, added GPSD line,and TBEACON EVERY=1 SYMBOL=truck alt=1. Here is a snip of my ssh screen


It looks to me like it is trying to send my info via a radio, which I am not using, and not sending to the APRS server..
What do I need to change to geet it to send my packets to the server instead of trying to send via a radio?
Thanks?

+1 for the heads up. There will either have to be more changes in direwolf, or some additions to documentation for rpi gpio ptt. On a pi5 using gpio 17 for ptt, `ptt GPIOD gpiochip4 -17` worked fine for me. Notice the inverted logic; it appears direwolf gpiod is using active low.
