I noticed that killing direwolf on Compass Linux beta 1.5, ax.25
interface udr0 and udr1 are removed freeing access to draws sound
card.
sudo killall direwolf
is a quite simple command indeed.

I entered

The pi returns the command prompt but not
anything like "ax25 has stopped".
I see the correct sound card input and output

but no audio from the ft817 radio. I had this working
before. What am I missing?

Can’t speak for this implementation as I am waiting for the next DRAW run to be shipped. However my experience with other rpi implementations, my SD card contained a single image. I make sure by reformatting with SD formatter then burn image with etcher. You could try this approach.
FWIW
Art Merry Christmas, Basil. I dont expect to hear back from you for a few days. I am trying to get wsjtx and js8call running. I did have this working so I know the 817 radio is ok. I could not use the supplied cables but I have an alternate cable that worked. However, now, with a new image burned, I cannot get the audio part to work. I do see the correct codec in settings for wsjtx and js8call but not audio appears. I As you suggested, I tried stating direwolf with ./ax25-start but I get this message A dependance job for ax25-mheardd.. service failed. See 'journalctl -xe' for details. I did run journalctl -xe and got a full page report. I can screen capture it but I have no idea how to send it to you. In red it says "Failed to start AX25 device"
So there must be something wrong with my new image but I have tried several times. I did notice that the one time it did work, on first bootup ,I was asked a few questions before it went to the standard desktop. I have never been asked since for anything, no passwords, no timezone, etc, for any new image I have tried, either bata5 or beta5. It just goes directly to the standard desktop upon bootup. Even first time. To burn the image i download zipped file from your download page. Then unzip with windows 10 then burn to the sd card with Etcher. I usually just burn onto the same sd card that had the previous burn. Am I doing this correctly? Does it matter that the sd card was not empty when I burn onto it? I will try another burn with a new download.
Btw my return on journalctl -xe also said Error setting device : ax0 parks
Same for ax1

All of the adjustment I made to the receive signal was through
the ADC Level of the alsa mixer. FLDIGI has a go no go "diamond
shaped" icon on the bottom tool bar of the main screen. It
lights up "black" for low receive audio, "Green" for ok and "Red"
for over driven receive. The ADC Level adjustment got the green
diamond to light with plenty of room to spare.

I wanted to share the good news of having success with the Beta6
image of draws with Direwolf , YAAC and a leap today with fldigi
running on a Kenwood TM-V71 dual bander.
I downloaded the beta 6 image today and ran through Basil's
"Verify_Config.md". I found a notation symbol that gave me
trouble until I changed it.
Under "check ALSA settings for deviation " instructions go as
follows:
cd ~/n7nix/debug
~/alsa-show.sh
I removing the tilde and the ~/ for the line alsa-show.sh after
trying the command as noted several times and then it ran fine.
At first I couldn't get fldigi to allow me to select udrc under
the sound card configuration. It just wasn't there. During the
Verify_Config.md the instructions required two changes in the
/boot/config.txt to test analog audio un comment, remove the #
from dtparam=audio=on and /boot/config.txt hdmi_drive=2 when your
done with the Verify_Config.md make sure you go back to
/boot/config.txt and comment out, put the # at the beginning of
the lines #dtparam=audio=on and #hdmi_drive=2.Reboot and run:
sudo su
cd ~/bin
./ax25-stop
also run :
sudo su
cd ~/bin
./ax25=disable
Now select fldigi from the "internet menu" on the home screen and
you should be able to go to the "configure" menu of fldigi then
sound card and select "port audio" in the drop down menu you
should see the selection for "udrc". If you dont it either means
you have not shut down ax25 or you didn't comment out
dtparam=audio=on or hdmi_drive=2
Also from the home screen of pi go to preferences and bring up
"Audio Device Settings" and setup PCM, ADC Level and LO Driver
Gain.
I found that setting the audio out (Transmit) levels where easy
to adjust to -20db using the alsa mixer controls of PCM and Lo
Driver Gain. I use a free audio spectrum analyzer called
"Spectrum Lab ver 2.93" for setting the audio drive level on
fldigi for FM vhf and uhf. For HF the best thing is to adjust the
xmit drive level so you have NO ALC showing for ssb transmit. The
signals sound clean on second TM V71 I have. Also the receive gain
was easy to adjust to keep the audio within range of the green
indicator diamond on fldigi.
I had not experienced the issues that people were having with
FT817 at Ft 891 ?? but I had not tried fldigi with the beta 5
version of the image. Beta 6 seems to work just fine with the
Kenwood TM V71.

Hi Joe,
You have a radio I do not know

been working with fldigi and my IC-7000 and the
questions you asked were central to making fldigi work
with the DRAWS hat audio device and that rig.
How did you configure fldigi to key
your radio? Since you are no longer using a SignaLink,
you can’t rely on the SL VOX keying circuit. If you
want to use VOX for PTT, the radio has to have a VOX
function and it has to be set up and adjusted.
Only other approach I can think of is
to make sure your radio can be controlled and/or keyed
by flrig’s CAT control and set it up. Then set fldigi to
control and key the radio using flrig. That seemed to
work for me with my IC-7000 and Yaesu FT-817.
Sorry I can’t be more helpful.

Next issue is with getting the radio to transmit. First
off, I have used Fldigi with the TM-V71 many times on
vhf uhf with success using a signalink and a sound cards
with simple interfaces. I noticed right of the bat that
the squelch on my radio does not stop the waterfall with
the DRAWS interface...what is that about? Using the alsa
mixer control no value of ADC changes the waterfall
appearance, it doesn't dim or get brighter with open
squelch. Squelching off the signal of the radio does not
stop the water fall ??? I have never seen that before.
Lastly I cant key the radio and no value of Lo Drive
Gain or PCM makes any difference.
Do you have any suggestions ???

Bob,
That is a mistake I often make when I forget and reflexively try to use DOS/Windows conventions in LINUX. It is confusing.
You want to be in “~/bin”, not “/bin”. note the “~”!
In the DOS/Windows world that would be the same as saying “cd \home\pi\bin”.
This is the bin folder in your user account “home” directory. You will find show

Merry Christmas, Basil. I dont expect to hear back from you for a few days. I am trying to get wsjtx and js8call running. I did have this working so I know the 817 radio is ok. I could not use the supplied cables but I have an alternate cable that worked. However, now, with a new image burned, I cannot get the audio part to work. I do see the correct codec in settings for wsjtx and js8call but not audio appears. I As you suggested, I tried stating direwolf with ./ax25-start but I get this message A dependance job for ax25-mheardd.. service failed. See 'journalctl -xe' for details. I did run journalctl -xe and got a full page report. I can screen capture it but I have no idea how to send it to you. In red it says "Failed to start AX25 device"
So there must be something wrong with my new image but I have tried several times. I did notice that the one time it did work, on first bootup ,I was asked a few questions before it went to the standard desktop. I have never been asked since for anything, no passwords, no timezone, etc, for any new image I have tried, either bata5 or beta5. It just goes directly to the standard desktop upon bootup. Even first time. To burn the image i download zipped file from your download page. Then unzip with windows 10 then burn to the sd card with Etcher. I usually just burn onto the same sd card that had the previous burn. Am I doing this correctly? Does it matter that the sd card was not empty when I burn onto it? I will try another burn with a new download.
Btw my return on journalctl -xe also said Error setting device : ax0 parks
Same for ax1
Hope that's enough info Bob ve3obo

Thanks, no apology necessary. You gave me the info needed, I
forgot about fldigi capability to address Pi GPIO and John K7VE
reminded me. I am a bit gun shy on all the traffic concerning
audio issues.
Thanks and have a great Christmas.

Hi Joe,
You have a radio I do not know anything
about. I’m only about a week ahead of you in learning how to
make DRAWS sing. I just happened to have been working with
fldigi and my IC-7000 and the questions you asked were central
to making fldigi work with the DRAWS hat audio device and that
rig.
How did you configure fldigi to key your
radio? Since you are no longer using a SignaLink, you can’t
rely on the SL VOX keying circuit. If you want to use VOX for
PTT, the radio has to have a VOX function and it has to be set
up and adjusted.
Only other approach I can think of is to
make sure your radio can be controlled and/or keyed by flrig’s
CAT control and set it up. Then set fldigi to control and key
the radio using flrig. That seemed to work for me with my
IC-7000 and Yaesu FT-817.
Sorry I can’t be more helpful.

Next issue is with getting the radio to transmit. First off,
I have used Fldigi with the TM-V71 many times on vhf uhf with
success using a signalink and a sound cards with simple
interfaces. I noticed right of the bat that the squelch on my
radio does not stop the waterfall with the DRAWS
interface...what is that about? Using the alsa mixer control
no value of ADC changes the waterfall appearance, it doesn't
dim or get brighter with open squelch. Squelching off the
signal of the radio does not stop the water fall ??? I have
never seen that before. Lastly I cant key the radio and no
value of Lo Drive Gain or PCM makes any difference.
Do you have any suggestions ???

Joe,
- Check to
make absolutely sure that Direwolf is not running after
your reboot.
- If it is
not running, you should see PortAudio as a selectable
option. Check the box.
- Now Select
udrc: - (hw:0,0) for both capture and playback.
- You can
also check “Device supports fell duplex” (it is in mine by
default and I just left it that way)
Hope that helped.

Issues #setup #fldigi #draws
I am looking for some basic guidance on
getting fldigi configured for VHF and UHF. I have been
successful with the DRAWS Beta 5 image and running
Direwolf/YAAC and now that I know the "core image" checks
out and works. I rebooted the PI/DRAWS combo and shut down
Direwolf and ax25 with this command sequence: cd bin, sudo
su, ./ax25-disable.
I then selected fldigi from the drop down menu on the home
screen of beta 5 image. When the configuration helper for
fldigi comes to selecting the sound card I am left with one
option and that is to select "pulseaudio" and it responds
wit no pulseaudio server. It doesn't give me an option to
choose udrc 0 or 1.
What do I do from here to get an audio source selected ???
Thanks

There is no wiki dedicated to getting setup/started with DRAWS and HF Digital modes. There is information on DRAWS & Packet Radio. For the HF Digital operator, the very first thing they need to do is disable AX.25. Not trying to throw anyone under the bus, but I'm trying to help everyone understand a subgroup and wiki specifically for HF Digital modes with the DRAWS, would be a very good thing to start, after the holidays.

Yeah, regarding the DRAWS, I know my post was a little harsh, but I find leaving out the diplomacy puts everybody on the same page. It also gives confidence to others to come out and say they're having a problem as well. So, based on the comments on the two videos and the blog, I had hoped on getting the "getting started" video up after xmas. Lots of operators are counting on it for the HF digital side. I'm kind of feeling like I let them down.
Let's see what the NWDR team says about a wiki. I think it's critical, and worth it, even if it delays the end result. I'm also willing to contribute to it.
