Re: PI3 and DV3000U
Ian
Yes I have; for my Direwolf " project ". I currently have Direwolf running on a BBB and am looking to move that to a Pi and " speed up " from 1k2 to 9k6; I have a spare URIx, hence the reason for using it. Regards, Ian..

Re: PI3 and DV3000U
Glad to hear. Have you looked at the UDRC in lieu of the URI?

Hello, I am pleased to report I am now up and running with CompassLinux ( GUI version ) and ThumbDV on the RP13. Thanks for the help and suggestions. My next move will be to CompassLinux ( no GUI ) and connect to a URI . Regards, Ian..

Thanks John..

I was thinking that I needed some type of sound card. I hadn’t thought of splitting dummy repeater from the gateway. Thanks again.

Problem solved; I have an error with my ThumbDV. I tried WinDV - it didn't recognise my ThumbDV; I tried Buster - it didn't recognise my ThumbDV; I have contacted my supplier. Thanks for the pointers and info, I'll be up and running shortly. Regards, Ian..

Re: Newbie needs some pointers
Tom, It took a minute to figure out what you were trying to do. There is no 2-way soundcard on the Raspberry Pi, unless you add one, e.g. a USB headset or sound FOB. If you are coming in from another computer, your better choice is to install DummyRepeater on your Windows box or Buster on your Mac, and access the AMBEserver over the network. (No VNC necessary -- if you are going to connect for a disply, you might want to use xrdp with Remote Desktop). Buster doesn't require ircddb on the Mac, just point it at your Raspberry Pi with AMBEserver running (DV3000 network) https://nw-digital-radio.groups.io/g/ambe/wiki/AMBEserver-Addendum#Buster-for-MacOS On Windows, put it at the AMBEserver (DV3000 Network) and point it the Raspberry Pi for ircddbgateway. https://nw-digital-radio.groups.io/g/ambe/wiki/AMBEserver-Addendum#DummyRepeater-for-Windows-or-Linux Use this Wiki for guidance https://nw-digital-radio.groups.io/g/ambe/wiki BTW, I will at DCC the next few days, so availability for support will be at a minimum.

Newbie needs some pointers
Thomas Edmonson
I'm in the process of setting up the following and I needs some gaps in my understanding filled. Here's the high level view: 1. I have a Raspberry PI 3 with a DV3000. 2. I loaded the following software: A. Compass B. IRCDDBGATEWAY C. Dummyrepeater What I want to do is to be able to VNC into my Raspberry with another PC or MAC and then using the remote device enter the Dstar network. The Gateway seems to be functioning at some level. I see: IRCDB = connected D-PRS= active Repeater 1 = AG5GY B Not Linked Everything seems to be ok until I try to configure Dummy Repeater. When I try to configure it I only get "NONE" as a choice under the sound-card field. It then won't let me save the config items I did change because the sound-card is not set Any suggestions?

Re: PI3 and DV3000U
Please use the instructions at https://nw-digital-radio.groups.io/g/ambe/wiki/Installing-AMBEserver-on-a-Raspberry-Pi-and-ThumbDV%E2%84%A2 -- the Github instructions are out of date, though you could use the Python scripts for testing. ambesockettest.py tests the server when it is up and running, the scripts on Github are for testing the port 'raw'.

Re: PI3 and DV3000U
Ian
Hello Geoff, Thanks for the pointers, I have gone through the download/setup etc with a fresh card and I am still experiencing a problem. It'll be something simple I imagine, perhaps because I am only running dummyrepeater, as an example. Incidentally my Pi3 card did not run on a Pi2B ; I'll keep looking. Hello John, I double checked the baud rate and I get an error ( wrong baud rate ) when I enter 460800 so my ThumbDV is an " old " one and it is at /dev/ttyUSB0 My first install was with Compass lite on which I had Direwolf running; I followed the install instructions to use dl5di github and ambetest3.py ( maybe not the correct name as typing from memory <smile> ) responded correctly although dummyrepeater needed a GUI installed so I downloaded the Compass GUI. I'm assuming the ambeserver runs on its own and doesn't need dummyrepeater, unfortunately I get no response when running python ambesocketest.py. Regards, Ian..

Re: PI3 and DV3000U
From your error log, you are running at 230400 baud. If your ThumbDV is new, it runs at 460800. Make sure it is at /dev/ttyUSB0 and modify the configuration as per https://nw-digital-radio.groups.io/g/ambe/wiki/AMBEserver-Addendum

Re: PI3 and DV3000U
ne3k@...
Ian- I had quite the time with a Pi3 and DV3000 board. This set of directions worked for me, and also worked for my friend I sent them to, KI7SI. Best of luck, let me know how it goes. 73, Geoff, NE3K Ok, first thing: You have to use the 'Compass' distro I have found. Once you get that done: then: sudo apt-get install ircddbgateway ircddbgatewayd dummrepeater sudo ircddbgatewayconfig Under the Gateway tab, Type - Dongle; Callsign - KI7SI; Local HB Address - 127.0.0.1, then whatever you want to enter for your QTH. Under the Repeater 1 Tab, Band - B (apparently on a dongle it doesn't matter); Type - Homebrew; Address - 127.0.0.1; Port 20011; Reflector - IF you want it to connect to a particular reflector at startup. I set mine to REF062C since that is what the local D-Star machine is on. Under the ircddbgateway network 1 tab, set it for 'Enabled', 'rr.openquad.net', 'KI7SI'. Under the ircddbgateway network 2 tab, set it for 'Enabled', 'ircddb.dstar.su', 'KI7SI' Under the D-PRS Tab, D-PRS - Enabled; Hostname - rotate-aprs2.net; Port 14580 DExtra - Enabled; Max Dongles - 5 D-Plus - Enabled; Max Dongles - 5; Login - KI7SI DCS and CCS - Both Enabled; Server - CCS704 worked for me Don't do anything in the StarNet tabs Remote - if you want to control it via an app on your phone, you need to set this up, otherwise you can leave it alone Misc - English (US), enable all other settings 'Save' the settings under the 'File' menu. When setting up dummyrepeater, you have to select 'DV3000 Network' and the set the loopback address under the 'Dongle' tab. Callsign Tab - fill in your call. I put '3000' after the slash since I'm using the DV3000 Sound Card - select the headset for both Dongle - Type - DV3000 Network; Device - none; Address 127.0.0.1; Port - 2460 Network - Gateway address - 127.0.0.1; Gateway Port - 20010; Local Address - 127.0.0.1; Local Port 20011 Controller and Timeout you can leave as is Message - Whatever message you want to come up when you transmit. To make the wlan0 and wireless work on the Pi3 with Compass, make sure your /etc/network/interfaces file looks like this: # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) # Please note that this file is written to be used with dhcpcd # Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d: auto lo iface eth0 inet manual allow-hotplug wlan0 To set a static IP with this setup, make sure /etc/dhcpcd.conf has this language with your settings at the end of the file: Interface wlan0 To get it to associate with your wireless, your /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf file looks like this: ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev network={ sudo reboot under 'Menu' go to 'Run' then 'sudo dummyrepeater' and 'sudo ircddbgateway'. It will take a minute for it to get up and running. To connect to whatever reflector you want, in the 'UR' block type REFXXX[ABCD]CL, then switch back to 'CQCQCQ'. You should hear a connect message then a beep. After that, hit transmit and you should be cooking. I have not been able to get ircddbgatewayd to run at startup automatically, but it works fine if I do it in a terminal window. Still waiting on an answer for that problem. Otherwise this should take care of getting it to work for you. There is also a script/procedure for updating the DExtra hosts file, I have to dig that out for you. Let me know if it works ok. Geoff
