Re: Just to be clear. What pins are for CAT?
Graham Auld
There is no CAT control on the DRAWS hat. The mini DINS are for the input/output of digital audio. You can attach two radios hence two connectors. CAT is done by a USB to CAT cable for your radio. You need to provide that cable.
I was totally lost until I found a great series of videos starting at https://youtu.be/u6wz2kZJ5Vo These five videos take you calmly through setup step by step. That guy deserves a medal. All the best Graham - 2M0IJU

DRAWS for sale
#draws
Hello- I have an unused DRAWS with a Pi3 and DRAWS image in orig USPS box and packaging. This has 2 radio cables and GPS antenna. I really do not have the time or ability at this point to use it so I would like to let it go. If interested in pics or coming up w a price please email me at kk6qms at arrl dot net.
Thanks. Clifford KK6QMS

Related-ish, does the "Accessory Connector HDR-4X2M" connector have another standardized name if I wanted to source a connector for it? I currently have female header jumpers connected to it, but I'd like something more robust.

Re: Just to be clear. What pins are for CAT?
CAT is not part of the mini din interface specification. It was created as a standard long before CAT was popular. Most CAT control is done using USB to serial cables specific to the radio model and using the 4 USB ports on the Raspberry Pi.

Just to be clear. What pins are for CAT?
John McRae
I am going to make some cables, starting with CAT control. What pins on the L/R mini dins are for cat levels plaese? I will keep struggling with the software at a later stage. It is all very muddy, as there is not a simple how to list that I can find. The use of external interfacing is used by a lot of people trying to explain theur setups. I just want to get the Draws /Pi up and running non remotely at first. Without a basic how to, I feel a lot of hams like me will find it tedious etc, to get up and running. It genuinely is quite confusing sorry to say. I love the concept however, so am prepared to learn. cheers guys. 73, John VK5PO

Re: PRECIPITOUS EDUCATIONAL ARC
I just burned and booted an nwdr15.img and draws-manager ran and worked
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
in both remote & local browser without doing anything further. I then: cd cd n7nix git pull cd config ./bin_refresh.sh sudo su apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade and after a reboot draws-manager again ran fine. If you did something other than the above or attempted to install draws-manager when it is already installed then that possibly could be your problem. /Basil n7nix Basil Gunn <basil@pacabunga.com> writes:
