Ham radio data hotspot!

The MKII version solves my problems. I have it working now on my Yeasu FT-817 and FTM-6000 both with the Digirig! Thanks much for the update!!

[@G7LJL-Steve_Murton]

Thanks Craig I must give this a try. Just got into POTA and this looks cool. 73’s

[@jerrystom4330]

I neglected to see this "Positive/negative GPS coordinates now (no more 45.678W nonsense)". My computer auto populated the initialize page using N and W parameters. The banner display came up but didn't continue to TNC display. It's working great now!! Thanks Craig, for your fast reply!

[@S700KYFPV]

Another great video Craig. After all the time you spent with my trying to get my APRS runing on my 991A, it all came to life yesterday after the update. Works like a dream. What a great bit of kit. Thank you.

[@dangermandave67]

I'm excited to try out the Digirig option, after all the messing around I went to setting it up with the last version of Digipi. Thanks for your help with that, btw. Some instruction on the flrig option would be nice, if you have a minute.

Oh my word Craig. That Godin guitar is just gorgeous!!

[@craig9309]

Honestly, it's my favorite! made in Canada

Awesome work Craig and digipi team.

awesome Craig, great update.

SO AWESOME!! TY

Ok watching this video I see your getting popup for QSO log, Odd I am not even with "Prompt for QSO log" selected.

[@clowther1]

Can the upgrade be down from 1.7 to 1.8 without a reflash?

[@Emcipio]

I almost entirely run portable operations, SOTA most of the time. Is there a way to avoid clock drift using a digipi setup? I’m interested in your rack design with the battery and audio/PTT for handhelds since I use an X6100 for HF.

[@KM6LYW]

digipi gets time from a gps if internet isn't available. I don't know how bad the drift is after that, but it should be good'nuf for an all-day SOTA? lookup waveshare for the battery setup - great products.

[@smallick653]

Fe Pi sound card is not available now. What's it's alternative. I am new to this

[@KM6LYW]

[@tlcgolden]

Hey you gonna be able to put echolink on that digipi sd card ? Allstar software ?

[@KM6LYW]

possibly, but those are technically voice modes. there's some great sd cards for allstar setups.

[@G7LJL-Steve_Murton]

Craig is there anywhere that lists the shopping parts list for the raspberry pi and the screen . That would be great. I have both ft991a and ftdx10 so rigs are ready to go Thanks Steve.

[@KM6LYW]

yup! digipi.org

[@justin6125]

hey man! what do you think of the aioc for the baofeng radios? its an all in one programming chip that has a sound card built in im going to figure out how to use it on your digipi think it would pair up nicely without having to add much to the pi.

[@KM6LYW]

hi justin, i don't have one myself, but it looks cool. if it's an cm108 implementation with integrated gpio, you can edit the direwolf .conf files to use the cm108 chip. DigiPi doesn't overtly support these - yet

[@justin6125]

It is that chip i just dont know enough about codeing to implement it but that aioc is pretty popular ​@KM6LYW

[@Frisky0563]

What is the pi hat all about ? Is that the audio and put interface with display?

[@KM6LYW]

n7ebb.org sells a radio ptt hat which pairs with the FE-Pi audio board. You'll find info about the screen hats at digipi.org as well. If you have a USB radio, all you need is the Pi and a USB cable.

[@OneAdamTwelve12]

Does the TNC init string need a value, or does it stay blank. Or am I in the wrong setting?

[@KM6LYW]

no init string required.. using aprsdroid? if using bluetooth, set the channel to "1"

[@OneAdamTwelve12]

@KM6LYW thanks for the reply. And sorry to bother you, I have 2 more questions. Do I still have to go into shell and do phone Bluetooth pairing. Got it to receive stations, but I can't transmit on aprsdroid or webchat any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

[@KM6LYW]

@@OneAdamTwelve12 Good questions, yes, you still need to use a shell to pair bluetooth (tried and failed to get a web-based pairing working). it's just a few commands and patience. aprsdroid can use tcp/networking too, bluetooth isn't necessary. just connect to digipi on port 8001.

[@jameslee522]

How do you have your digipi hooked up to your 991? Using a hub, or have you found a cable with the proper ends for both the pi and the 991?

[@KM6LYW]

its a "printer" usb cable and a microusb adapter

[@jameslee522]

@@KM6LYW so the radio will power the zero with no problem?

[@KM6LYW]

@@jameslee522 negative, you need to apply power and usb cables. the zero in the thumbnail has a little waveshare battery alternative. 150mA

[@OneAdamTwelve12]

Hello, do you sell the device built minus the sd card?

[@KM6LYW]

Not at this time... I'm a software engineer, not a hardware guy, we find it's best for everyone that way :)

[@russharmon6635]

Hi Craig are you able to intragrate Vara into the winlink protocol? Or is there a copywrite issue?

[@KM6LYW]

not at this time, no license, proprietary, and requires 2 emulators, pi4 minimum.

[@daveschwarz5279]

That explains why I can’t get Winlink to work 😂

[@brickerhaus]

Is there a way to export the logs easily? I'd like to merge them with my main computer.

[@KM6LYW]

Easy? possibly, they live in ~/config/WSJTX (log.adi?). make sure you press [save configs] after an ft8 session to commit the logs to the SD card.

[@brickerhaus]

@@KM6LYW Sweet. Sounds easy enough. I'll give it a try.

[@direhavok8732]

@@KM6LYW How do I export the WSJT-X logs to put in a logger?

[@craig9309]

@@direhavok8732 I really don't know as I don't log. After operations, press [save configs] on the digipi home screen, then look in share/WSJT-X/wsjtx.log or wsjtx_log.adi

How is the 10.0.0.5 set. I need to set something else. THX in advance
