3101 issue
by Robert Newberry 11 Apr '17

11 Apr '17

Has anyone been noticing issues on 3101? At one point yesterday it wasnt even listed on the master list on Brandmeister.network. On the ride home it wasn't working. By not working I mean I will put my call out on BM TG 3167 and listen for it on my Allstar repeaters. I only ask because last week I had an issue but it was related to my configuration on the BM server side. I'm just trying to figure out why my connection has been so intermittent. Things started acting funny starting Sunday afternoon that I am aware of.

Hello Steve, Sorry for the delay in answering, was overloaded with work. Dunno if you still needed the test, but anyhow, I've tried again the command with and without the -n switch, and also 2 times back to back with the -n switch (if I understood correctly the test you asked for) and still the same results With the -n switch, the dongle never sends back the >0AMBE3000R >Version >6100010031 >Wrote: 5 bytes >a11V120.E100.XXXX.C106.G514.R009.B0010411.C0020208 we are expecting. When the –n switch is removed from the the command, I do receive it at the moment. When I was making tests, I’ve checked the dongle’s serial baud rate with “stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0” and it stated at first that the dongle was at 460800 bauds. I bought my ThumbDV when they came out at first, way before the new model that is at 460800, so I knew mine was at 230400. Even if i tried sending the command python “AMBEtest3.py -n -s /dev/ttyUSB0” after setting the serial baud rate baud rate at 230400 with "stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 230400", it would not work. Only way to ge the expected result was by removing the –n switch. Also, the AMBEtest3.py python command with the –n switch removed always worked, even without trying setting the baud rate of the dongle at 230400 before that. BTW, I'm using the RC1 image from the links in your instructions. And the above tests were made without doing any git pull that I was in the posts made during the last couple of days. On my side, I went thru all the instructions from your document, and I'm ready for the next part about the configuration. But I know you, Mike and the rest of the team are working hard with bug hunting, so please keep up the good work and thanks for everything. Also, in regard of my initial question about DMRGui, it was because the link for it in the files section of the DVhamswitch website sends us on a parked domain for sale at vyous.com, so that link is dead. Just in case you didn't know. 73's from Guy VE2VAG _______________________________________________ Date: Wed, 5 Apr 2017 08:14:57 -0400 From: Steve Zingman <szingman(a)msgstor.com> To: Digital linking using Asterisk and app_rpt <allstar-digital(a)lists.keekles.org> Subject: Re: [Allstar Digital] DMRGateway / DMRGui / DMRLink/ambe_audio / DV3000u/PiDV Message-ID: <6cf8d6ee-9f4d-4d17-da7a-cc124ea90ea9(a)msgstor.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; Format="flowed" Guy, I do not have the first generation ThumbDV.

Thanks very much Steve ! I'll play with all of this, and update dmrlink during the week end. Will keep posted on how it goes Envoyé depuis mon téléphone intelligent Samsung Galaxy. -------- Message d'origine --------De : Steve Zingman <szingman(a)msgstor.com> Date : 17-04-07 06:08 (GMT-05:00) À : Digital linking using Asterisk and app_rpt <allstar-digital(a)lists.keekles.org> Objet : Re: [Allstar Digital] DMRGateway / DMRGui / DMRLink /ambe_audio / DV3000u/PiDV Guy, The problems we had with ambe_audio on the new version of dmrlink has been fixed. You can do a git pull and copy ambe_audio.py to /opt/dmrlink/ambe_audio. I will be working on the configuration document next week. Really all that is left is pointing dmrlink.cfg at your master and configure ambe_audio.cfg. As far as DMRGui, thats what I get for using tinyurl. Lesson learned. ;( Here is a fresh link to DMRGui.zip <http://dvswitch.org/files/DMRGateway/DMRGui.zip> 73, Steve N4IRS On 04/07/2017 05:23 AM, Guy Vachon VE2VAG wrote: > Hello Steve, > > Sorry for the delay in answering, was overloaded with work. > Dunno if you still needed the test, but anyhow, I've tried again the > command with and without the -n switch, and also 2 times back to back > with the -n switch (if I understood correctly the test you asked for) > and still the same results > > With the -n switch, the dongle never sends back the >> 0AMBE3000R >> Version >> 6100010031 >> Wrote: 5 bytes >> a11V120.E100.XXXX.C106.G514.R009.B0010411.C0020208 > we are expecting.

DMRgui
by Robert Newberry 07 Apr '17

07 Apr '17

I'd like to play with DMRgui. I only have a Unbuntu laptop. It looks like it runs on python so I could run it on mu Ubuntu box? Next question is, can I connect this to my existing IPSC network as a peer? It looks like I need to point it to where my RPI/DV3000 resides.

Richard, I was having the same problem as you, since I own a first generation ThumbDV which runs at 230400 bauds. When I removed the –n argument in the command: python AMBEtest3.py -n -s /dev/ttyUSB0, it then worked for me. So for people with first generation ThumbDV’s, the command python AMBEtest3.py -s /dev/ttyUSB0 must be used. Also, on page 3, Steve says at point 8: DO NOT edit DMRGateway.ini UNLESS your DV is not at /dev/ttyUSB0 If you run a first gen ThumbDV, the baud rate must be changed in it also to 230400. And for Steve: thank you very much for all the efforts in the software and the documents. I went thru it all, and except for the items mentionned up here, everything went well and I’m ready for the next steps. Thanks and 73s from Guy VE2VAG

DMRGateway Install Error
by David Shaw 31 Mar '17

31 Mar '17

Hello, Today for my birthday I received a new DVThumb. I'm using N4IRS 's DMRGateway. I ran ./mk_dmrlink and got an error. cp: cannot stat ‘/srv/DMRlink/RS129.py’: No such file or directory I edited mk_dmrlink and rem out the line: #cp /srv/DMRlink/RS129.py /opt/dmrlink Is this OK? -- Thanks, David "Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.

All-star to Dstar and back
by Ryan Collier 22 Mar '17

22 Mar '17

What is the best way to get this done? I have an xlxd reflector with a dv3000 and many dstar boards. What is the best way to get this done? I would rather have software not software and hardware. I know I will probably need the dv3000 board. But just need the piece to connect the two together. I just don't want to have to run a usb fob to a dstar board.

All-star to Dstar
by Ryan Collier 20 Mar '17

20 Mar '17

So I have tried all weekend to get this done. I am just going to use an extra dstar board and a usbfob. I can not get the bridge between the two. I tried the usrp and chan_dstar. I think I am just going to go back to usbfob and try to do it again later. Thanks, Ryan (KB8PMY) KD8TUZ Hamilton Wireless Radio Club

MMDVM / Homebrew to IPSC
by Matthew Harrold 14 Mar '17

14 Mar '17

Hi, I've spotted some references to this mailing list suggesting that someone had a working MMDVM / Homebrew protocol to IPSC implementation. Is that correct? I'd like to use HBLink (https://github.com/n0mjs710/HBlink) to connect hotspots to an IPSC based network. Thanks Marrold

Revisiting the MMDVM And Things
by Buddy Brannan 06 Mar '17

06 Mar '17

Hi y'all, OK...revisiting this. Parts and pieces I'll need: I have an All Star node. Well, two, actually, but one that's permanent. So, pretend I'm 8 years old. Well OK, 8 year olds are smarter. I need an MMDVM with the Arduino kit, correct? This plugs into a computer (Pi or other) ia USB? And then what? Currently I have a modified USB fob with All Star. Do we do DSTAR, or just DMR? Or can we transcode? Does the mmdvm replace the USB fob? Or should i build up something entirely new on a different freq to play around with? I'm a little overwhelmed mostly because I'm not sure where to start reading. Sadly, diagrams won't help. ... -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV - Erie, PA Phone: 814-860-3194 Mobile: 814-431-0962 Email: buddy(a)brannan.name
