Re: GPS on Raspberry Pi vs. Windows

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

What/how connects the GPS to each 'computer', in detail please.? (Especially if different hardware is used!)

If a USB/Serial dongle, what is the chipset it is based on?

Windows Device Manager may tell you that (and other stuff.)

On Linux, run? dmesg -wH? in a command line terminal, and then connect the adapter, and among other things, the chipset will be shown, such as...


[Sep20 19:50] usb 1-1.2: new full-speed USB device number 8 using dwc_otg
[? +0.099995] usb 1-1.2: device descriptor read/64, error -32

[? +0.000397] usb 1-1.2: Detected FT232BM
[? +0.048550] usb 1-1.2: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0

My emphasis...


The above is shown on a Ras'Pi, when an old (but genuine) FTDI based adapter is connected.

This is so old, that though it works well with XP.? On Win7 and later no drivers support it (without a lot of device descriptor file hacking) but it works very well with Linux.

If you see "Prolific" or similar, you could have a counterfeit or old version device that Windows will never support.? (As flagged perhaps with a warning triangle in Device Managers device listings.)

Do NOT rollback Windows Updates to accommodate an old driver.?? Many have security issues, as do old versions of even Windows 10.

There are gazillions of fake (and cheap) devices out there, that are actually microcontrollers programmed to emulate the desired device*.? Nice trick, but in effect the creators of such, are stealing other peoples software and code, especially the drivers needed by OS's such as Windows.

(* I personally, have seen chip's marked as FTDI, that behaved and worked as Prolific devices!? Obvious fakes...)

Other than that, just how are you trying to "test" the GPS, with what software?? Tried a Terminal program?? That is the simplest.

??? (One of the best for Windows, but a bit daunting at first sight!.)

Or CuteCom for Linux (GUI).?? Unless you are used to minicom on the command line!? (Either need installing on the Pi)

more info is needed please.

Re: GPS on Raspberry Pi vs. Windows

 

Thanks to Andrew, I learned:

"Probably because gpsmon on the Pi works with the gpsd daemon, which will switch an identified GPS model to the model-specific binary mode instead of the NEMA-0183 ASCII sentence format. And YAAC only understands NEMA-0183 format (and gpsd's JSON format). So once gpsd on the Pi switched the BU-354S4 GPS to proprietary binary mode, there was no way for YAAC on Windows to understand it.
?
Were you using the GPSD port type in YAAC on the Pi??
?
Note that the authors of gpsd have clearly stated their intentions of _not_ supporting Microsoft Windows.?
?
Also, it is possible to "brick" the BU-353S4 GPS if the wrong commands are sent to it. I use the -b option on gpsd to prevent the GPS from getting bricked. Does the BU-353S4 still work when you plug it back into the Pi?
?
Hope this helps.
?
Andrew, KA2DDO
author of YAAC"

My GPS still worked on the Pi.
I found this:

which described how to switch the GPS back to NEMA format.? I tried it, and it worked.? I noticed in the log that the GPS for some reason switched to 9600 baud.? Why, I don't know.
I moved my GPS to Windows and ran YAAC,? I reconfigured the GPS to serial_GPS at 9600 baud and clicked Test Port.? I saw the GPS output, so I now have my GPS working on Windows.

I ran?
$ sudo nano /etc/default/gpsd
and change the last line to:

GPSD_OPTIONS="-n -b"

so that gpsd won't change the GPS configuration.

I tested moving the GPS to the Pi and then to Windows, and both now have GPS signals!


GPS on Raspberry Pi vs. Windows

 

I have YAAC running on Raspberry Pi with a BU-353S4 GPS USB receiver.? I can run "$ gpsmon" and see the GPS results.? YAAC shows my location when I select View > GPS Status.

I am trying to also run YAAC on Windows 10.? I have everything but the GPS working.? When I plug in the GPS, I can identify it as COM4.? When I click Test Port, I get no valid display on any Baud Rate.

Any ideas why the GPS works fine on Raspberry Pi OS but not on Windows?
Is there something wrong with my GPS that would cause it to work for Linux but not for Windows?
What GPS can I get that will work on both Linux and Windows?


Re: Sending Winlink messages

 

I should clarify.? My first attempt as I discussed in #540 was using Message > Send Email which goes through Winlink and did not work for me.? My second attempt which I discussed in #541 was using Message > Station and Recipient Callsign of EMAIL which as I understand it goes through APRS Email, and did work for me.


Re: Sending Winlink messages

 

I just tried to send an email using Message > Station and using the Recipient Callsign of EMAIL.? My message text was "(my@email) text of message"? That worked fine.


Re: Sending Winlink messages

 

I just upgraded YAAC to release 157 and tried to send an email.? The first times I tried, I got messages "invalid login challenge response"? See attachment APRSemail2.png.? I then restarted YAAC and re entered my Winlink password, but this time I got no error message, and also no email was sent.? At least, I didn't receive the email in my gmail account where I sent it.? See attachment APRSemail3.png for the message window.

I found this on the Internet:??.
Maybe you will find it helpful.? I didn't really understand it.


YAAC on windows 10

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Hi Andrew

?

My beta 167 works perfectly on my raspberry pi3 and I am able to receive ad transmit packets no problem.? Of and on, I have been trying to get YAAC to work on windows 10. My java is 8 update 261 and I have installed? C++ 2010 redistributable. I am using tnc pkt mode on my kenwood D700a and have created a serial tnc port on yaac.? I can receive packets fine but I cannot transmit.? My beacon is properly set and the serial tnc port allows transmit.? I know that the radio works fine because it works fine with the raspberry pi.? Can you suggest anywhere I may look to fix this?? ??

?

You may recall my earlier attempts in recent weeks and I just dropped this issue and concentrated instead on my raspberry pi. ?However I would like to get yaac working on windows 10 as well.

?

Thanks.

Re: Station repeats chat message several times after receiving an ack.

 

Hi Andrew,

I sent the files to your email direct.? I'm pretty sure it was all RF, no iGating.? I tried with two other stations which had the same result (all three are running UI-View).? Thanks for any help, 73.


Re: Station repeats chat message several times after receiving an ack.

 

The screenshot didn't come through.

One very important thing: did _YAAC_ see the text message acknowledgements? It doesn't matter if the ack packets were seen on aprs.fi; did the ack packets appear on the Raw Packets display in YAAC? Especially if you were trying to text-message a station through I-gates, this is a problem, because many people only run receive-only I-gates, which will not forward packets back to RF. So the acks never get through, therefore YAAC assumes the original packets didn't get through, and it tries again.

Please configure YAAC to log packets in CSV mode and send me the AX25xmit*.csv and AX25rcvd*.csv log files from one of your chat sessions. It could be the remote station is misspelling the ack packets, or it can't handle the base-36 sequence numbers that YAAC uses.

Andrew,

Did some quick Googling on JSSC DLL and came across this thread which shows

the same access violation exception from my error log:

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/solved-jserial-windows-10-crash.99

553/.? The thread suggests it is a 32 v 64-bit bit issue.

?

Based on that, I installed the 32-bit Java 8 Update 261, ensured that was

used to launch YAAC rather than the 64-bit version, and the serial port now

opens without issue and I'm sending/receiving via my serial TNC!

?

I recently installed the x64 SE Development Kit (8u261) on this PC to start

working on getting data from my new Davis WeatherLink Live into YAAC.? I

_think_ (but don't remember for sure) that I removed some older and/or

32-bit Java versions at the same time.? And I've been mid-desk-move so the

serial TNC has been disconnected for a few weeks while I reorganize.

Perhaps the problem was introduced by switching to 64-bit rather than

updating to 8u261...

?

Hope this helps.

Thank you for letting me know which versions _not_ to ask people to try.

Since you report already having installed the redistributables for 2010,

2012, 2013, and 2015, therefore it must be an earlier version. Microsoft

only reports 2005 and 2008 as being earlier available versions. Please try

only one of those two, and see if it works. If it doesn't, try the other.

The whole point is that you need the older version of the VC++ runtime

library (unless you're dealing with a Service Pack fix of the specific

version that the JSSC library was compiled with). Are you able to open

serial ports on your system? Then you don't need the fix. If you can't open

serial ports and/or trying to do so crashes YAAC, then you need the correct

version of the Visual C++ runtime library (and not a newer incompatible

version like the one from VC++ 2017 that is now bundled in the new builds of

the Java runtime).

?

?

?

Can you send me a screenshot of your error message? I'm not sure whether

it's griping that you should upgrade all your apps to use VC++2017 as

opposed to saying you already have a service-packed version of VC++ 2010

RTL.

For those who haven't been able to get YAAC working on Microsoft Windows

since accepting a Java 8 upgrade past build 281, I think I have a fix. But I

can't build the fix into YAAC because it requires installing a licensed

So, you need to download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1

Redistributable Package (either x86 or x64, depending on the version of the

The whole point is that you need the older version of the VC++ runtime
library (unless you're dealing with a Service Pack fix of the specific
version that the JSSC library was compiled with). Are you able to open
serial ports on your system? Then you don't need the fix. If you can't open
serial ports and/or trying to do so crashes YAAC, then you need the correct
version of the Visual C++ runtime library (and not a newer incompatible
version like the one from VC++ 2017 that is now bundled in the new builds of
the Java runtime).



Can you send me a screenshot of your error message? I'm not sure whether
it's griping that you should upgrade all your apps to use VC++2017 as
opposed to saying you already have a service-packed version of VC++ 2010
RTL.

Greetings, all.



For those who haven't been able to get YAAC working on Microsoft Windows

since accepting a Java 8 upgrade past build 281, I think I have a fix. But I

can't build the fix into YAAC because it requires installing a licensed

Microsoft product.



So, you need to download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1

Redistributable Package (either x86 or x64, depending on the version of the

Java runtime you are using); note it won't hurt (other than using extra disk

space) to install both versions on x64 version of Windows. I hope I have the

correct year of the Redistributable. This can be downloaded from the

Microsoft website at



(x86 version)



(x64 version)



Let me know if this still doesn't fix your problem.

Re: Fixing support for Java and YAAC on Microsoft Windows

 

Hmm... which version of the VC++ Redistributables do you have installed? 32-bit or 64-bit?

Andrew,

Did some quick Googling on JSSC DLL and came across this thread which shows
the same access violation exception from my error log:

553/. The thread suggests it is a 32 v 64-bit bit issue.

Based on that, I installed the 32-bit Java 8 Update 261, ensured that was
used to launch YAAC rather than the 64-bit version, and the serial port now
opens without issue and I'm sending/receiving via my serial TNC!

I recently installed the x64 SE Development Kit (8u261) on this PC to start
working on getting data from my new Davis WeatherLink Live into YAAC. I
_think_ (but don't remember for sure) that I removed some older and/or
32-bit Java versions at the same time. And I've been mid-desk-move so the
serial TNC has been disconnected for a few weeks while I reorganize.
Perhaps the problem was introduced by switching to 64-bit rather than
updating to 8u261...

Hope this helps.

Thank you for letting me know which versions _not_ to ask people to try.
Alas, I can't figure out from the JSSC DLL binaries which specific version
of the library they are asking for. So we may have to continue trial and
error.

Since you report already having installed the redistributables for 2010,
2012, 2013, and 2015, therefore it must be an earlier version. Microsoft
only reports 2005 and 2008 as being earlier available versions. Please try
only one of those two, and see if it works. If it doesn't, try the other.
And let me know how it works.

I have too many versions already installed on my old Windows 7 laptop to

Subject: [yaac-users] Fixing support for Java and YAAC on Microsoft Windows



Greetings, all.



For those who haven't been able to get YAAC working on Microsoft Windows

since accepting a Java 8 upgrade past build 281, I think I have a fix. But I

can't build the fix into YAAC because it requires installing a licensed

Microsoft product.



So, you need to download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1

Redistributable Package (either x86 or x64, depending on the version of the

Java runtime you are using); note it won't hurt (other than using extra disk

space) to install both versions on x64 version of Windows. I hope I have the

correct year of the Redistributable. This can be downloaded from the

Microsoft website at



(x86 version)



(x64 version)



Let me know if this still doesn't fix your problem.

Re: Fixing support for Java and YAAC on Microsoft Windows

 

Andrew,

Same problem for me - immediately closes when I try to enable the serial TNC
port. Please see attached Java error log.

I appear to have a bunch of Visual C++ Redistributables installed, including
x86 and x64 versions of 2010 - 10.0.40219.

Other versions include:
2012 - 11.0.61030.0
2013 - 12.0.40660
2015-2019 - 14.25.28508.3

I'm happy to help debug/test in any way I can.

Mine does not work. It opens then immediately closes back down.

Ah, it appears you do have a newer (service pack) version of the same VC++
runtime library already installed. So you shouldn't have to do anything.

Is YAAC working? Or did I pick the wrong date of the VC++RTL?

The whole point is that you need the older version of the VC++ runtime
library (unless you're dealing with a Service Pack fix of the specific
version that the JSSC library was compiled with). Are you able to open
serial ports on your system? Then you don't need the fix. If you can't open
serial ports and/or trying to do so crashes YAAC, then you need the correct
version of the Visual C++ runtime library (and not a newer incompatible
version like the one from VC++ 2017 that is now bundled in the new builds of
the Java runtime).



Can you send me a screenshot of your error message? I'm not sure whether
it's griping that you should upgrade all your apps to use VC++2017 as
opposed to saying you already have a service-packed version of VC++ 2010
RTL.

Both of my systems say I have a newer version installed already. What's the

protocol for this?
