Make sure it’s on the header correctly and check the 5V Pin on the Pi Header

#draws Not Booting

Stuart, K2YYY
I connected the Draws to my 12v battery box and nothing happens. It boots normally, when I supply power to the Pi.
Are there troubleshooting instructions? Thanks, Stuart, K2YYY

Re: [udrc] UDRC-II squelch on the Yaesu FT-897D → Does DRAWS require this?
Squelch in the Radio is for analog modes so we don’t annoy the humans. The SW Modem isn’t annoyed so I turn squelch off in the radio.

The Active Low SQL pin drives a 4.7kOhm resistor to the base of a transistor.Hi all, The DRAWS board arrived yesterday evening, and today I picked up a new Raspberry Pi 3 to connect it… so far things seem to be working but I'm yet to hook up a radio. Now, with the predecessor board (which has seen some use as a packet radio station), I had to make a small modification to get audio on the FT-897/857… https://stuartl.longlandclan.id.au/blog/2016/11/20/getting-the-udrc-ii-to-play-nice-with-the-yaesu-ft-897d/ I've also used this same board with an Yaesu FTM-350AR and a Icom 706 MkIIG. For the DRAWS, I intend to use it on my bicycle, which runs a FT-857D. The plan is I'll set up two transceivers: a Wouxun KG-UVD1P I have laying around set on 145.175MHz for APRS; and use the other port going to the data jack on the FT-857D. I'll use the DRAWS auxiliary port to control the CAT interface. With the Pi acting as a WiFi access point, I should be able to use a Mumble VoIP server to allow my mobile phone to connect and act as a "cross-band repeater". Thus when operating a check-point (like I was for the Yarraman to Wulkuraka bike ride¹ last year), instead of being tethered to the bicycle, I can plug my headset into my phone instead and still have 80m-70cm all-mode capability. For this to work, I still want to be able to use my radio normally, so basically be able to plug the headset into the microphone/speaker jacks on the set, and use it like I do now -- as Queensland road rules preclude me from using a mobile phone whilst in transit *for any reason* (unless I want an AU$1000 fine for my troubles). Do I need a pull-up on the SQL lines like I did for the UDRC-II in order to have normal audio on the FT-857D/897D?

I might have a look at this and see if a smaller image can't be produced… I think a more "compact" image would be a little easier to handle. Not difficult to have a small image which just downloads "the essentials", then asks some further questions to install the rest (including a full-blown GUI if needed). I might look into this as I'd like something built on the Buster release of Debian rather than Debian Stretch as some of the software I'm writing will require it (or rather, require Python 3.6+; Buster ships with 3.7, Stretch with 3.5).

Mirrors of Compass Linux image?
Stuart Longland VK4MSL
Hi all,
Is there a mirror of the Compass Linux for the new DRAWS board? At the moment I'm downloading the "draws_beta13.zip" image off of nwdig.net. The Internet connection at my workplace is a 50Mbps (both ways) microwave link, and I started downloading at 12:00 (UTC+10)… as of 18:33 it is still going, with an alleged 100MB left to go and speed going up and down like a yo-yo. I'm guessing I just hit it on a bad day. Are there other mirrors around for these images? Regards, -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) I haven't lost my mind... ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere.

At first blush, what you are describing isn't practical. DMR uses the AMBE vocoder to pass voice communications and it will not reproduce tones for the modems typically used for Winlink communications. Winlink typically uses AX.25 packet or Ardop (and possibly other) analog modems. DRAWS™ supports AX.25 and Ardop, so in analog mode, you may be able to do Winlink communications with that radio. Also amateur radio DMR does not provide private communications. It will do radio-to-radio routing (not connections), but it can be monitored by other stations using promiscuous mode. Maybe folks will have some ideas for you.

To add to the collective knowledge, I had to run rpi-update to get the latest firmware (working on 4.19.66-v7l+ #1253 SMP Thu Aug 15 12:02:08 BST 2019 armv7l).
I'm running otherwise stock Buster and installing only those apps that I need at present which for the time being is Direwolf for an APRS Digipeater/Igate. Currently using RPI4, and yes, it does need a fan! I'm going to move the DRAWS hat to an idle Pi3.

Just wondering, I know people have gotten wsjt to work with cat control or usb control, but has anyone gotten a work around to use the gpio pins for the ptt?
the main reason I ask is that when i switch radios I don't want to try to mess with cat or usb control, and some of my rigs have neither. it would be nice to be able to switch between any radio w/o extra control cables. I haven't played around with hamlib enough to know all its features yet, but has anyone added gpio support to it?

Re: New Draws Case - RPi4 and RPi3
Ryan W Leathers
I got one of these cases printed for my Pi3. I have not put the power pole connector in place yet - will do that later this evening when I have a soldering iron. There are nice details in this design, like the little ledge the SD card slides on when inserting and removing, the internal power pole connector slot, and the knock-out for the IO port. I only made a small change to the case. I removed the posts between the USB and Ethernet ports to provide a little more air flow for the Pi. In all, I'm very happy with the fit and finish of this case. I think it will be perfect for my intended use of the Pi3 DRAWS, and as an added bonus the orange matches the shock case of my Android tablet which will be running VNC client to talk to the headless Pi. Thanks to Frank for the upload to Thingverse!
