Corky, The exchanges between you and Russ have inspired me to try to configure my DRAWS and IC-7000 to work with fldigi again. I will try to hunt down your earlier messages about this. I played with i

Well Crap! The Pi3B+ I just bought last week is the culprit. It seemed to work OK at first blush, but shortly it began to do some of those unpredictable things we were chasing. At first temp was not p

Supper helped... and I have a bottle of Makers Mark at hand. I left the unit off, so we’ll see how it behaves using the steps below. Jack - KD4IZ

Hi Basil, I need to walk away from this... I am finally going into "braincramp" status. The following should show you where I went with this: pi@kd4iz2draws:~ $ mgr-ctrl.sh stop DISABLING draws-manage

Basil, Answers inline below as ">>>reply text". Files are attached. Incidentally, I can't get Xastir/Direwolf to transmit any longer either. I think that "s%^t_has_happened" so to speak. Jack

Basil, Yes... and it was still throwing the "Unable to Connect" message. Here is why: I back-tracked went through it all again and rebooted, same thing so I went back and ran the < mgr-ctrl.sh status

Basil, Thank you for those suggestions. The outputs are above and do not look promising at all. I am probably best off starting from scratch (again). I will keep this particular micro SD card as is in

Thanks John, Output attached. Hope it makes sense. KD4IZ Jack Spitznagel FM19oo

Thanks John and Basil… There was a line already in the file but commented out (#PORT=8873). To keep life simple, I un-commented it. Rebooted and without anything running, I still can’t connect. I can

John, I have one of my two DRAWS units running XASTIR concurrently with the “HamClock” software (https://www.clearskyinstitute.com/ham/HamClock/). Unfortunately, HamClock wants to grab port 8080 too,

Jim, Even though it was an improptu kitbash, I am sort of proud of the job. On the other unit, I just kitbashed a microUSB plug and about 3” of wire to reach around and plug into the microUSB socket o

Hi Jon, Looking at the device specs online, I have two immediate concerns: #1 the vertical height and fan clearance may give you a dimensional issue, #2 the fan will not run at all unless activated by

Hi Brendan, My second case came this week… so I have both my fixed and my portable DRAWS set ups completed. I did have to mount fans on both to keep the Pi temps down. I using one Pi4 which I will swa

Basil, My OCD would just not let me put this on the back burner. Here is the output of the buginfo.sh script. In the output below there are some "fails" on lines [ 16.828358] tlv320aic32x4 1-0018: Fai

Basil, I imaged one more SD card, tried to config the unit... and now I am truly done playing for a while. This time I did not run the update or upgrade step from "piwiz" or from terminal just to see

Hi Basil, Interesting... I have two munged configuration SD cards. The one that I sent before where aplay -l could see the board but the system mixer and gpsmon/cgps could not "talk" to it was one on

Basil, Well, the below did not work. One unit is working, the other seems to lose the audio and gps systems at second boot regardless of what I do. I can Under my earlier message, you will find the ou

Basil, I had two attempted DRAWS (ver 19) installs go south (on two different units) while following the instructions exactly. In both cases, on the third reboot, I lost the draws audio card (per apla

Mark, That one is about 0.5cm too large – the predrilled spacing on the DRAWS case appears to be about 2.5cm. Thanks for the suggestion. Jack Spitznagel – KD4IZ Science River LLC Biomedical Consulting

Ed, All, Mine were in the box with the case. Small plastic bag that also had the stand-offs and silicone stick-on feet. I just ordered one of the new design for the later generation DRAWS board. One i
