I have an older FT-450......and my DRAWS will arrive as part of the next batch......
 
Are you saying that I still need some additional equipment to go between the RPi and the
radio along with the cable that goes from DRAWS to the radio?

Hi Jack, the ft-450D is the new version and it has the same issues of being over driven.  Tigertronics used to have you put a resistor inside the signal link box to cure it on the audio out line. But they no-longer have that mod on their website. Folks were ruining the socket inside. I have one Signal Link that I have soldered the mod inside it, as over many years or reconfiguring for different radios with resistor and wire jumpers, I ruined the socket. Now I have 2 signal links and 2 Yaesu SCU17s which add CAT control lines as well.

So PCM set that low is very suspicious. It means you are not using many

dropping LO Driver Gain down.

Setting up auto time with draws gps #ntp #chrony #gps #clock #battery

Bob Orrett <boborrett@...>
 

Hello everyone and Merry Christmas,
This has most likely been covered before but I can't find it. How do I get the system time to automatically set from the draws gps at bootup without internet connection.
I enter "cgps -s" in the terminal window and the time sets after about 30 seconds for reasons that escape me. There must be a way to have this done automatically. 
    I expect you can tell that I am a newbie to RPi and linux so I need clear simple  step by step instructions. Please do not assume I will understand linux jargon. Someday I hope to be there but I am not there yet.  I dont mean to sound rude, I just dont want anyone to waste their time on me because they are afraid of insulting my intelligence.  Go ahead, insult me.

First of all, thanks for all the time you are putting in.
See suggestion for PCM, LO Drive gain below.

Tried to take a scientific/stepwise approach with setting the DRAWS
board audio out today.

I went through the entire level and deviation check routine again
today and wound up with very similar settings to my previous attempts.
I then tested direwolf VHF-FM first and then after disabling AX25,
fldigi and wsjt-x on HF. Results "ain't purty", but at least everything
is being consistent.

Software function status:

VHF - with direwolf/Xastir transmitting and receiving on the local
packet network does work .

Comment: I don't really have a an easy/better way to test than
function on APRS network locally. I have a sense that the audio may be
high, but I won't know until I have time to putter with Spectrum Lab.
It will become my "Deviation Meter" with an IC-7100 functioning as my

Re: Cant turn off direwolf and ax25 #configuration #management #draws #direwolf #ax25

Bob Orrett <boborrett@...>
 

Finally after many frustrating  days, wsjtx and js8call are working with the draws hat. It was my fault and probably a rookie mistake but I will explain in case others are making the same mistake.  It is in Basil's script. I read the script each time that I loaded a new image but I misinterpreted  how to use it. 
There is a line that says, "if you want direwolf functionality, do this". Well , I didnt want direwolf so I didn't do the script below. A mistake! When I finally decided to run that script everything worked. I was always wondering  why I was never asked for a password (nwcompass). 
But even then it took many tries before i finally noticed that between "app" and "config" there is an underscore "_" not a dash"-". I have never seen and underscore in a command before and the print is very small. I realize now that i should get my email with the raspberry pi so that i can cut and paste instead of read and type. Linux doesn't help you when you make a typing error. Just says that the command does not exist. That make me think there is something wrong with the program, not my typing. 
I am a retired teacher and one thing i learned is that giving foolproof instructions is very difficult. There are often assumptions made by the reader and the writer that can result is complete misunderstandings. Adding the reason for a given command is a big help. Don't worry about insulting the reader, give hints and examples. Explain what the response to a given command should be.
Well, i feels good to be over this hurdle, on to the next.

As another FYI you do NEED AX.25 for Winlink on the RPi, paclink-unix &
Linux RMS Gateway, also the BBS. Also it is much easier with more
capability to use the ax.25 beacon command then to APRS beacon with
direwolf.

Art,

 

My experience as well, except when one might want to setup tunnel connection as part of the ampr.net (“44.” Net). I plan to be doing that with some DRAWS functions. I thought that was a big deal out there in the PacNW.

That is correct.  

Direwolf can run independently of the AX.25 stack.  And programs that can talk directly using agwpe or kiss over the network work just fine (e.g. YAAC, Xastir).  Basil has done a lot of work to have a stable, reproducible AX.25 stack available for a variety of programs that need it, including an RMS, BBS, and various other applications (commonly used in EMCOMM).  While running the AX.25 application stack, these (mostly APRS) applications can also run through the same direwolf instance, using the same radios, over agwpe or networked KISS.

Direwolf by itself is also a capable digipeater and igate, though we tend to use it more often as a modem and let other programs handle the higher level protocols.

Re: Status: IC-7000 Audio Levels for V/UHF and HF modes #draws #ic7000 #hfmodes

Jack Spitznagel
 

Basil, John

I setup Beta 6 today. The install was painless, it may be my growing comfort
with the setup, but it ran smoothly. Testing was where thing fell apart.
Unfortunately I still struggling to get the both the direwolf and fldigi
drives level adjusted with the IC-7000.

It appears that the poster who suggested a 100k ohm (variable) resistor in
the audio line from the DRAWS to the transceiver may be correct.

I will upload a text file of my observations while running the "Ackerman"
no-test-equipment deviation method" style adjustments and using the
"measure_deviate.sh" script if desired... but this should cover almost
everything:

In short:
1. Audio drive was too high for the IC-7000 as it was defaulted by
AX25/direwolf setup.
2. Used the "setalsa-udrc-alinco.sh" script to set the audio levels to a
level that "worked"
NOTE: I tried all of the scripts you included. The Alinco" levels produced a
signal my HT and APRS gateway could decode - it sounded hot though.
3. While "measure_deviate.sh" was activated, reduced PCM all the way, then
increased it until I heard no increase in volume of the received signal.
That point occurred at about -6.00 dB - but ALC on the rig was still very
high. LO Driver Gain level was already at -6.00 dB.
4. Re-enabled the AX.25/direwolf stuff and observed that these levels still
resulted in decodable APRS [packets).
5. Killed AX.25, went to fldigi and SSB to see how the audio output was
driving the 7000. ALC was still very high.
6. Increasing PCM increases distortion sound and visual splatter on Spectrum
Lab.
7. Backing PCM to -21.00dB saw the ALC start to drop - but would not drop
below 50% point.
8. Once PCM drops below about -25.00dB, the ALC starts to pump and the
signal gets dirty sounding with a feedback-like harmonic beginning to be
heard with loud hiss and crackling noises.

These "best outcome" alsamixer levels are still not optimal by any
descriptions I have read. I don't challenge that.
PCM L:[-21.00dB], R:[-21.00dB]
ADC Level L:[-5.00dB], R:[-5.00dB]
LO Driver Gain L:[-6.00dB], R:[-6.00dB]
IN1 L:[10kOhm], R:[10kOhm]
IN1 L:[Off], R:[Off]

Conclusion - AFAICT, clean audio IS being produced at higher PCM and LO
Driver Gain levels - but the signal is at too high a level for the IC-7000.

NOTE: I seem to remember I had to use the dropping resistor setting in the
SignaLink with this radio. So that leads me to the conclusion that a
variable resistor/ resistance network will be needed to get clean audio at a
level that the IC-7000 (and apparently some other radios) seems to like.

Next time I have the unit apart, I will try to find a good test point to
measure the actual amplitude of the signal with a handheld digital
oscilloscope I have.

Thanks for your patience with my ramble.

as an fyi you don't NEED ax25 to run direwolf, I never installed the AX.25 stack on any of my ham computers and I can still run direwolf and xastir perfectly fine
Re: Cant turn off direwolf and ax25 #configuration #management #draws #direwolf #ax25

Read this:
https://github.com/nwdigitalradio/n7nix/blob/master/DRAWS_CONFIG.md

The step where you run

app_config.sh core

setups up your image & starts direwolf from systemd.
If you read to the bottom of the document you will learn the proper way
to stop & disable direwolf and the ax.25 stack.

Using killall leaves the ax.25 stack compromised and will give
unpredictable results later on.

Was I supposed to do something after the first boot up of beta6 ? Everything looks normal after the boot up.  Exceot ft8 and js8call do not get access to the soundcard and I cannot seem to stop or start direwolf.

Hi Jack,

As it was in Beta 5, having Basil’s scripts scattered between ~/bin,
~/n7nix/bin, and ~/n7nix/debug made doing the set up and testing a bit
of a challenge. Jumping around the different pieces of the directory
tree made for some interesting “not found” errors.
In the beta6 image after you have run the app_config.sh core script most of the commonly used scripts are copied to the local bin, ~/bin and that will be in your PATH if you are logged in as user pi. So you only need to type the name of the script. If you are required to be root then
just:
cd /home/pi/bin
./<name_of_the_script>

John and Basil,

 

Good point on the appropriate scripts (not just killing direwolf)! I will be loading Beta 6 later today…

 

Suggestion: Is there any way these script functions can be put into/called by a “DRAWS/udrc control panel” app?

If you start direwolf without AX.25, then it can be stopped without AX.25

Re: Cant turn off direwolf and ax25 #configuration #management #draws #direwolf #ax25

Bernard f6bvp / ai7bg
 

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 am a newbie to RPi and linux. 
I have the beta6 installed and running. I cannot seem to be able to stop direwolf and ax25 so that ft8 and js8call will get access to the draws sound card.
I entered

cd 
cd bin
sudo su 
./ax25-stop 

The pi returns the command prompt but not anything like "ax25 has stopped".
I see the correct sound card input and output codec in the settings for these programs (ft8 and js8call) but no audio from the ft817 radio. I had this working before. What am I missing?
