So moving this over here from the Yahoo! group, I am having a devil of a time getting a RPi3 up and running to use DummyRepeater and ircDDBGateway with a PiDV Board. I've followed the AMBE Wiki

https://nw-digital-radio.groups.io/g/ambe/wiki/AMBEserver-Addendum Now includes testing AMBEserver and accessing the AMBEServer from Windows, Linux, and MacOS

Thank you John & Richard now booting from hard drive (via sd card) cheers jim g7icd

Yes, you can use the SD card just to get the machine started. I do this and use a Solid State Drive (SSD) for a couple of my Pis - especially for servers that are 'always on', the SD card eventually

Here is a tutorial (I have not used this, but the concept is clear) https://learn.adafruit.com/external-drive-as-raspberry-pi-root/overview There is some work going on at Raspbian development to make

Now i have the dstar pi2 and thumbdv all working is there away i can transfer it all on to a harddrive (i have a 250g usb) so it uses the sd card for bootup but then reads all the other files from

thanks Richard will try that now i was using pin 5 cheers jim

This page has a good picture of the Raspberry Pi GPIO pinout. http://www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk/2012/06/simple-guide-to-the-rpi-gpio-header-and-pins/ The pins are definitely 1,3,5,7... in a row. -

i found the post and tryed it yesterday i connected a wire to pin 3 but dummy repeater stopped working i have to reindtall the back up image now today i looked and i am a bit lossed some images of

I read some were that you can but dummyrepeater into tx via pin 3 to grn via a 220k resister ? if thats right what i do you set the the controller section too ? my project is all starting to comming

Thank you John I'll have to give that a try Larry W2LGB

Anything that uses ircddbgateway Here is a little procedure to change all IP based REFxxx references to use their DNS name instead. (For Compass Linux location for DPlus_Hosts.txt file) == watch for

John, Is this required for the UDRC as well as I cannot connect to any reflectors now just DCS reflectors Larry w2LGB -- I will respond to your email when I am Available

Darren Storer says that the REF001 address should always be referenced by its domain name ref001.dstargateway.org (which means it may change physical IP address from time to time). Edit

Reflector 20A is also experiencing Issues Larry w2LGB -- I will respond to your email when I am Available

Yes its dropping the Link internationally as well -- I will respond to your email when I am Available

You should be able to select NETWORK and the IP address and PORT of your AMBEserver. No additional software (beyond AMBEserveer) required. -- John D. Hays K7VE PO Box 1223, Edmonds, WA 98020-1223

My next question to the group would be how and what software do i need to get a pc xp or win7 to connect to the pi using dummyrepeateri have the dummy reptaer installed on xp pro at moment i thought

Not sure if it's related but 1C reflector has been VERY problematic these last few days it had dropped link more than 20x yesterday, other operators confirming the troubles. My dv mega hotspot
