Re: TNC-Pi9k6 firmware

I didn't have to remove HOSTPORT on mine. I just followed the original instructions to use pitncparams utilities from the old TNC-x website. Manual showing all of it is here: http://tnc-x.com/TNCPi.pdf work just fine with the TNC-Pi9k6. just went downstairs to verify. Also you'll want i2ckiss as well. it maps a pseudo com port to the i2c address

Blue tooth and SD cards?
#bluetooth
Jay Lijoi
Good afternoon,
Scenario: I use SD cards in my PI for different applications (nothing new here). One has HamPI on it and another Manjaro, etc. I want to use my blue tooth mouse and keyboard to reduce desktop cables and preserve usb ports for other uses. First I paired the mouse and keyboard while running HamPi. Then when rebooting with Manjaro SD I had to go through the process of pairing again. Now when I switch back to the HamPI SD it doesn't recognize the mouse or keyboard, it says they are there, but won't connect. So I have to pair again, and then I loose the pairing when I again when I change to a different SD card. Is this normal? Is there some kind of randomness to pairing? Is there a way facilitate using the same mouse and keyboard accross different SD cards withour the need to pair every time? Or, am I just being oblique and missing something simple? (I didn't want to say stupid.) -- Jay WB2QQJ

No, the TNC can use i2c for communication, but you have to configure
it in the firmware, you can't change it with pitnc_setparams.

To enable i2c remove HOSTPORT from TeensyConfigPacket.h. You can change the i2c address by changing the #define I2CSLAVEADDR 73, John

My understanding is I2C is just used for configuring the TNC but not for packet communication. I think there was a post regarding that a couple of months ago. If you want to stack multiple TNC-Pi9k6 you will need to grab a raspberry Pi 4 which has 6 UARTS and then connect them to the teensy. This shouldn't be two hard to do with some jumper wires.

TNC-Pi9k6 firmware
I’ve been trying to compile the TNC-Pi9k6’s firmware now for a few months with no luck. I am trying to make it so I can attach 3 of them to a single PI. Would someone be so kind as to compile 3 different versions of the firmware for me so I can flash them and use three TNC-Pi9k6 (Teensy 3.6) and use it with I2C instead? I really am at wits-end with compiling this and I’m a software engineer.

Re: USBGear
You might consider something like this. Closer to a signalink but less expensive, and as I evaluated it, a better design. They make several versions at different price points.

But it’s for video. I got a Soundblaster on ebay a few years back for SDR (I, Q). It works great. Cost was around $30. 73

They start at $16. I haven't tried these myself yet. 73, Mike AF7KR

Re: Pi Goodies
#raspberrypi
I use the MoPi2 Hot-Swap Mobile Power. It fits with other hats. It has two 6-24V inputs and a charge input. In my case, I run 12V into the main power input and a small battery pack on the other the charge input keeps the battery pack charged. It can go to a small solar panel or whatever.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
It has a push button to start and shut down the RPi so you don't have to pull and reconnect power. It also has a switched 5V to operate external equipment. It can be configured for various input types and voltages. If the primary input drops below a preset voltage, it switches instantly to the backup input. Depending on programming, you can have it perform a graceful shutdown on loss of primary power. In my personal case, it is used on my APRS installation in my vehicle. Primary power is vehicle primary power. I push a button to boot up, which operates a relay providing power to the radio. My APRS starts up automatically on boot. When leaving the truck, I hold the button for five seconds and it closes the applications, gracefully shuts down the RPi, and releases the relay shutting down the radio. Available from DigiKey and others. Read about it at https://projects-raspberry.com/mopi-is-mobile-hot-swap-and-247-power-for-the-raspberry-pi/ Michael WA7SKG Allan Jones wrote on 3/4/21 9:43 AM:

Dean;
Allan is fine. Thank you for asking. I do like the idea of having one battery pack (with appropriate dc/dc buck or boost) to run the rig, Pi, and any other items. That is an option that I am also looking at. Again, I am so very new to using a Pi (and even digital modes in general), and am just slowly returning to being a Ham again after "life" got in the way for some years. I guess I need to consider the pros and cons of a single battery as a power source for all versus separate batteries/sources for the radio, the Pi, and any other items. These little "backup" style batteries just seem kind of cool in a way but I did not know if they have really been used much in the real world. Or if they are just gadgets more or less. Thank you so much for your thoughts and input, and I always enjoy hearing how others approach things. I am very much in the learning phase at this time. Allan - KD4RUF

Re: Pi Goodies
#raspberrypi
Lloyd or Allan (which do you prefer)?
I don't have feedback on those items. I run a dc/dc converter that works well so I can run off the same battery as the rig. I can use the dc/ dc converter power the pi or to charge my ipad or the power brick and, also have tested powering the pi with an Anker "power brick" and that ran the pi for about 14hours (results may vary for you). I believe the anker power brick is a 20000mAh. my battery is then charged either by commercial mains OR by solar panel from Renogy. // Dean K5mpg

I am a returning Ham as well as just now coming to the Raspberry Pi party as well.
I have looked at battery options for the Pi and right now I have seen what seems to be 2 or 3 really viable options (although I may have/most likely have missed something). They are the; PiJuice Hat Pisugar (mentioned here) LiFePO4wered Does anyone have some real good and real world experience with any of these 3 or others? I am not looking to run the Pi for days on end, just something to be able to quickly and easily take a full setup outside the house for maybe SOTA/POTA/Camping/Backyard use. Total noob here (in both using a Pi as well as using groups.io), so please excuse my ignorance. Lloyd Allan Jones - KD4RUF
