Basil, are there any ways to know when Anna's patches will be in place so that we can do upgrades? Gayland KG7GCF

I seem to be getting the same error when I perform a sudo apt-get upgrade on my DRAWS Beta 13 install based on a quick comparison of the make.log noted above. I'd be a tad more confident if I knew eno

Honestly, haven't used rig control yet. I tried once or twice but never made much progress and my particular emcomm use doesn't really demand rig control. As for a cable, I believe a usb cable to the

I've been using a straight thru 6pin mini din <-> 6 pin mini din between my yaesu ft857d and UDRC/DRAWS for some time now without cutting any pins afaik. The only issue that I have with this is that w

I suspect Basil has it correct. I experienced similar conditions the write cycles take longer than one expects and concluding with a sync command will help insure that all write buffers have been writ

I suspect that the amount of increase needed was far below what Basil threw out. I went with 512 and even at the time was thinking that it was probably excessive. Like I said, I suspect that 256 MB wo

I just did a build on the latest stretch raspbian of the a current version of fldigi. It was necessary to increase the swap space on the current system to get a successful build. The default swap appe

Yep. Haven't seen any evidence of a pattern or cause though. It happen's sometimes when the system idles unattended and other times while I am using it. My suspicion is either a memory leak somewhere

See text below for my response to Basil's response. Gayland KG7GCF So I un-commented the "dtparam=audio=on" line in the draws://boot/config.txt file, saved the file, and rebooted. I then used the menu

I haven't the sophisticated knowledge of how the DRAWS & UDRC perform their magic but I have the following observations. Out of the box, the DRAWS would not work with my Yaesu 857D when running fldigi

I believe it ran for a few hours without the update, in fact I was surprised when I finally noticed that the date and time were so off. I did not do anything with chrony nor the gps other than install

FYI, I installed a battery before I first powered up the DRAWS but the time did not update even with a network connection and the gps antenna installed. I ended up setting it manually using the date c

John, Thanks for the input. I am pretty much a rank amateur on the hardware side of things. I've already managed loose an inch or more off the pigtails trying to put some Anderson Power Poles on them.

#draws #power

Does anyone have a source for the power pigtails for the DRAWS? I'll likely need a few as I learn how to put Anderson Power Pole connectors on the non-terminated end of the pigtail. The one I got with

If that's the case then I probably won't see it. Gayland KG7GCF
