[Xastir] Xastir Digest, Vol 798, Issue 1

Tue Apr 25 05:15:33 PDT 2023

David / All

I have the D72A connected to a RPi 4 via USB and have setup two interfaces in Xastir,

One for read-only: where the D72A runs in normal APRS12 mode and one for read-write
where the D72A runs in KISS mode (packet12)

The interface type is "Serial TNC w/GPS on AUX port /dev/ttyUSB0"

When I start the interface, the link status on the Interface Control page/window will go to UP, then
something happens (a timeout or ??) and it goes to ERROR.

I can't find any log message that will tell me why the interface status changed.

Played around with log levels on start up, capturing the stdout and searching, looking in whatever log
files get generated etc.

At one time, I had this working, before I screwed up my rpi installation and had to start from scratch.

I've been using startup/stop scripts that I found out on the 'net for the d72a and been playing around
to try to understand all the commands to the d72a, but point is when the the link status is UP
everything seems to work, I see incoming data fine and likely could send out messages as well (though
the link errors out so quickly I've not really tried, it seems irrelevant to tracing down whatever is causing
the link status to go to ERROR)

Just not sure how to trace the ERROR, nor what settings might affect this.

Yes. In fact if anyone knows why my D72A interface always works for about 1 minute upon startup and then goes to ERROR, I would love to hear debugging ideas

Hi Liz
Thanks for the reply..
I ask because I am looking for some advice on loading  xastir and direwolf
onto a Raspberry pi.
I ran that setup a few years back on Raspbian and Python 2, I just wondered
if it is compatible with Bullseye and Python 3. If anyone here could advise
I would appreciate it.
Thanks ,
 Steve,  G7NSJ

I've not actually tried it but both xastir and direwolf are available in
the Raspbian Bullseye repository so I'd expect it to work.

Xastir doesn?t use python.
