I believe you want make sure you use the power input on the DRAWS and not the Pi itself.

Hi group.

This might be a stupid question. But since I wouldn’t like to grill my D.R.A.W.S. I will post it anyway:
I saw a video where somebody presented D.R.A.W.S. In this presentation he recommended to attach a cable with a Powerpole connector to use the Powerpole distributor he uses for all the rig components to power the Raspberry Pi with the D.R.A.W.S.
Will this work? My Powerpole terminal delivers constant regulated 13.8 volts for my radios!

Hi everyone,

  Since the DRAWS is equipped with a GPS receiver, I figured I would write a quick web interface for it. I mostly use my Raspberry Pi station remotely from my Mac, and having a web interface to monitor the radio and GPS is fairly useful.

   I used the open source Wizkers.io framework to implement this, so that it works nicely with the remote rig control and monitoring that already exist for it (full disclosure, I am the developer). The code is not pushed to Github yet, but if there is interest, I'll be happy to oblige.

What other GPS information would you want to see on a status dashboard? The screenshots below are all web pages:

Kenwood V71A remote control screen:

  and... here is the manual: https://elafargue.github.io/wizkers-doc/

   In particular, look up the "Developer/Building" section if you want to build it! That project is a bit unloved these days for lack of free time, but it still works great - it is used in multiple remote locations running 24/7/365 for various projects, but let's not stray off-topic, this is the UDRS/DRAWS list. Reach out directly if you have any questions,

Hello Edouard,

Just wondering if your program uses or can use hamlib, this would greatly expand the number of radios your program can use.

Thank you and 73,

You might run afoul of one instance of Direwolf opening the ALSA device
for the sound card and locking out the second instance unless you do
some trickery in the ALSA configuration files to present the UDRC/DRAWS
as two separate audio interfaces.

This is doable of course, just may require a bit of research.

I haven't lost my mind...
   ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere.

John,

I saw that you referenced that you were able to run 9600 and or 1200 on a single radio interface. 

Can you refer us to the code, configuration that allows for on the fly switchng between Direwolf 9600/1200 baud packet speeds.

Hello John,

I am running WSJT-X.  I have one of the boards that had the issue.  I removed both caps.  The RX audio works pretty well (but not quite as sensitive as my signal link).  I have tried multiple sets of cables with and without Pin6.  I ran the alsa command for the 817, played with multiple setting in the draws manager including changing to the right hand port.  The best I can get out the of the TX audio are occasional TX reports WSPR.

Thank you,

Tony

The FT-817 is a heavily tested radio with the UDRC and DRAWS boards.  There are built-in configurations on the image.

What application(s) are you trying to setup?

The proper way to set audio levels is using Draws™ Manager  -- the FT-817 settings assume the FT-817 internal menu settings are at default, so you may want to do a factory reset on the radio.  Also note that removing the squelch pin (PIN 6) in the cable is generally required on Yaesu radios.

Have you followed the recall notes?  If you have a newer board with the SMA coming out the same end as the power jack, you should review the thread and specifically  https://nw-digital-radio.groups.io/g/udrc/message/3977

I have the 817 and have tried for weeks to get solid audio out to the radio.  Does anyone have a configuration that is really working ? If so please post it.  Thank you! Tony
