My Brain is about to Explode
|
I have been reading, reconfiguring, testing, reading some more, repeat, repeat for now several weeks.
I cannot seem to get this little project work as expected. I am trying to build a 2 way I gate with a PI-4 and a TNC-PI. I have the OS installed.I have YAAC installed.I have full radio control.? I have what I think is digipeting working. But I cannot seem to find that magic check box to make the radio contacts go to aprs.fi. I do have 2 ports setup.? I think I have a good password for APR-IS. Not 100% sure. If somebody wants to send me a password using my call sign wr7ay to wr7ay@... I will check to see if it matches my current iteration. So, I propose, if somebody has a configuration like mine and would be willing to export out the config file then email it to me (with any personal info redacted) I would be grateful! OR maybe make a document with screenshots of each page with the correct check marks and settings in the right spots.? Then email that to me. Any help like that would be great. I now await you folks kindness. WR7AY Gillette, Wyoming |

Greetings.
Sorry for the slow response. I have reviewed your YAAC configuration file, and (assuming that you have a valid passcode entered for your APRS-IS port, there is no reason why your system shouldn't operate as an I-gate. HOWEVER, please remember that you CANNOT use the APRS-IS backbone for propagation analysis to confirm that your station is operating successfully as an I-gate. By design, the APRS-IS backbone servers will keep only the _first_ occurrence of any given packet and will discard duplicates provided by other slower I-gates. And YAAC is a very slow I-gate, so almost any other I-gate software that hears the same RF packet as your station does will get it to the backbone faster than YAAC will (unless there is an extreme mismatch in Internet connection baud rates in YAAC's favor). To confirm that your station is operating as an I-gate, it will have to hear a station that no other I-gate could possibly hear, so that your I-gate is the _only_ I-gate to forward the packet to the backbone. For example, an HT station operating at extreme low power with a lousy antenna. Hope this helps explain your problem.

Oopsy. My config file is attached with 1 thing redacted. What am I missing? I would still like to get my node to Igating correctly. Ray. WR7AY |

Re: location of YAAC configuration:
Since you are using a Linux operating system, the Java Preferences backing store is in a subdirectory of your home directory, .java/.userPrefs/org/ka2ddo/yaac . In this subdirectory hierarchy is a collection of further subdirectories, all containing prefs.xml files for that sub-node's part of the configuration. The subdirectory (node) names pretty clearly identify what parts of the configuration are in each sub-node's prefs.xml file. YAAC plugins can create additional sub-nodes for their configuration needs. So there is no single "configuration file", and it is not portable to other operating systems (for example, Microsoft Windows stores Java Preferences in the Registry, but still in a suitable sub-node hierarchy). So don't try and back it up and restore it to a different system to make a duplicate system (expecting exactly the same hardware interfaces on the same operating system variant and using exactly the same callsign-SSID values). Well, it would work if you intended to restore the existing system to the exact same hardware and O/S types for recovering from a hardware failure, but you can't get a template config to use on a non-identical system. Use the YAAC UI and command-line interfaces for a portable way of replicating a config.

You made me go back to re-examine my settings. Not sure what I changed back but it is currently working. I did have a question for all. Where on the Raspberry PI disk structure is the running configuration file? Thanks All! Igating in North East Wyoming. Ray WR7AY |
