Re: Codec interfaces initialized successfully : 0 channels available
Do you have multiple AMBE devices plugged in? BTW, this is a software question that should be directed to the software group behind ambed.
Just tried that with the same result, then i changed my ip address in the run file to my actual home network ip still showing Zero ? --

Hello, What I did to my servers, if I get this result is, I unplug the
ambe and plug it back, then ./run. Try that.

Re: PiDV, AMBEserver and Buster
I verified that AMBEserver will build on Buster Raspbian, I don't have a PiDV to test with at the moment. John D. Hays Kingston, WA K7VE

Re: PiDV, AMBEserver and Buster
Here are short instructions. From https://nw-digital-radio.groups.io/g/ambe/wiki/AMBEserver-Addendum#Quick-Build-on-Linux Quick Build on LinuxIf you cannot find an AMBEserver package for your architecture and distribution. Try this: Open https://github.com/dl5di/OpenDV/blob/master/DummyRepeater/DV3000/AMBEserver.c select "RAW" Copy and past the source code into AMBEserver. Or just use the attached copy. Place the executable in an appropriate place, and create configuration and autostart files. On Raspbian/Debian this would be sudo cp AMBEserver /usr/sbin
sudo chmod +x /usr/sbin/AMBEserverA set of files for systemd management are located in the files section: ambesupport.tgz (https://nw-digital-radio.groups.io/g/ambe/files) Download this file to the target computer's filesystem and run mv ambesupport.tgz /tmp && cd / && sudo tar -xzvf /tmp/ambesupport.tgzUse the above instructions to manage the server. (From the WIKI article) The test programs (python) can be obtained here
https://github.com/dl5di/OpenDV/tree/master/DummyRepeater/DV3000 Open AMBEtest3.py go to raw and copy and paste to similarly named file (Attached) Open ambesocktest.py go to raw and copy and paste to similarly named file or download this one from
https://nw-digital-radio.groups.io/g/ambe/files Run the tests I mentioned earlier

Re: PiDV, AMBEserver and Buster
You probably need to build AMBEserver it is not on the standard repositories.

Re: PiDV, AMBEserver and Buster

Thanks John, I really appreciate your assistance. The PIDV is definitely installed correctly on the Raspberry Pi, starting at PIN 1. I always start with a fresh install of the latest version of Raspbian, now Buster. I didn't get very far. The following steps were done sequentially. sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install ambeserver e: unable to locate package ambeserver I searched the raspbian package list for ambeserver without success. Any suggestions? Colin Colin G. MacArthur B.A., LL.B.

Re: PiDV, AMBEserver and Buster
You need to take a step wise approach to debug: 1. Make sure the HAT is properly seated. Orient it so that it is sitting on pins 1-26, here is an illustration on a 40 pin GPIO Raspberry Pi Use a current version of Raspbian (Compass Linux is deprecated) Build/Install ambeserver Do Not Start amberserver until you confirm that the PiDV is communicating with the Raspberry Pi Use the test program from sudo python AMBEtest3.py -i /dev/ttyS0 If this fails, then you may have a hardware problem. On success, then test in foreground (not as daemon, don't use systemctl yet) sudo AMBEserver -i /dev/ttyS0 Watch for errors, and then open a second terminal window and use: python ambesocktest.py If the ambesocktest works, then you can kill the AMBEserver and restart it with systemctl. My lab is down at the moment so I am unable to do hands on build and document. John D. Hays Kingston, WA K7VE

Mike, I tried with the Compass distro and got nowhere but I might try it again now that I'm aware of the serial port issues. Colin Colin G. MacArthur B.A., LL.B.

Re: PiDV, AMBEserver and Buster

John, I followed the instructions for enabling the mini UART serial port and I disabled the serial console. I modified the AMBESERVER_FLAGS in /etc/opendv/ambeserver-ttyS0.conf to AMBESERVER_FLAGS="-s 230400" to set the baud rate of the DV3000. I left UDP_PORT=2460 unchanged.

Re: PiDV, AMBEserver and Buster
OK. So first thing is to make sure the PiDV is properly seated on the pins. Here is information on using the serial port from the GPIO (turn off console to it) https://www.abelectronics.co.uk/kb/article/1035/raspberry-pi-3--4-and-zero-w-serial-port-usage Use the ambetest.py program(s) to verify the serial port is communicating with the PiDV HAT. (Baud Rate is 230K unless the board has been modified). If it passes all of that, then try the AMBEserver. Make sure nothing else is installed that might be grabbing the port. I suggest the current version of Buster and AMBEserver alone to get going.

I read the original and the 2 replies. I just got mine working locally but have not enabled outside connections yet. I struggled with getting mine working for a week of tries. I saw the reference to the instructions
https://nw-digital-radio.groups.io/g/ambe/wiki/Installing-AMBEserver-on-a-Raspberry-Pi-3-and-PiDV%E2%84%A2 I have attached a PDF that I downloaded with what eventually worked for me but I originally was using an older Raspberry pi with a single core and believe that was the problem. When I put 2018-12-31-compass-lite on a 4 core Raspberry Pi and followed the same instructions, Everything worked fine. I use mostly blue dv on windows. I have not tried buster with the network arrangement.

PiDV, AMBEserver and Buster
Mechanical_Mac
Ladies and gents,
HELP!!
Before I pull out the remaining few strands of hair I have left, for the love of God, can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I initially attempted to install my DV3000 on my Raspberry Pi 3 B+ according to the instruction found at:
https://nw-digital-radio.groups.io/g/ambe/wiki/Installing-AMBEserver-on-a-Raspberry-Pi-3-and-PiDV%E2%84%A2
Having failed miserably, I followed John's advice at:
https://nw-digital-radio.groups.io/g/ambe/wiki/Installing-AMBEserver-on-a-Raspberry-Pi-3-and-PiDV%E2%84%A2
and attempted to install it using the latest version of Buster and the Quick Build on Linux method outlined at: https://nw-digital-radio.groups.io/g/ambe/wiki/AMBEserver-Addendum
Still no success. Any advice much appreciated. Here are the results:

Hi - Has anyone tried to use a ThumbDV with its AMBE firmware to feed digital data to a radio's TNC input or to modulate a radio's audio? I have an IC-7000, which has a 9600 data input and, like many, I have the ability to interface computer audio with the transceiver. Would be nice/fun to get it to work D-Star and DMR, if that's possible.
Thanks, Joe, KE1U
