#RASPBERRY PI 2 FLDIGI PC#
Put the SD card with Fldigi back into the PC computer. This is useful for a communication operations center with multiple Pis running Fldigi. Once you have a clean image (doesn’t have browser history, transmitted messages, etc.) it can be duplicated using the Win32DiskImager. This can be useful if you need to PRINT a received message and a printer is available via USB or network connection. I suggest installing and getting familiar with CUPS (Common Unix Printing System).
#RASPBERRY PI 2 FLDIGI INSTALL#
Sudo apt-get -y install chromium Printing Jessie comes with LibreOffice installed, very nice! I recommend installing Firefox or Chromium browser on the Pi. NOTE: this directory includes your transmitted and received NBEMS messages.ĭirectory names preceded with a period or dot are hidden directories. Reset Flmsg, move or delete /home/pi/.nbems If you’re having issues with Fldigi or want to reset its settings, move or delete /home/pi/.fldigi Rm -rfv /home/pi/sources/ User directories Keep the source archives in the Downloads directory to remember which versions or keep a history of versions installed.

You can delete the /home/pi/sources/ directory to free up space.

Custom forms are placed in the /home/username/.nbems/CUSTOM or C:\Users\username\NBEMS.files\CUSTOM directories. These could be: assessments, patient tracking, or request forms. Custom Forms are typically created and used by ARES groups to digitally transmit and submit forms served agencies use. Flmsg has a number of forms (ICS, MARS, Radiogram, Red Cross, Weather) already installed. Some groups designed Custom Forms in Flmsg. Not sure why this is but hasn’t effected operating yet. One issue I noticed is Fldigi seems to not remember or loose the capture device setting. Transmittingįldigi and Flmsg transmitting NBEMS MT63-2000L 2 meter simplex.Ĭongratulations! You now have Fldigi running on the Raspberry Pi! Other bits Issues Capture Device Setting You can enable rig control on the following page. Select USB Audio CODEC for the SignaLink USB.
#RASPBERRY PI 2 FLDIGI HOW TO#
To learn more about configuring and how to use Fldigi, Flmsg, and Flwrap, visit the tutorial I wrote on how to get started. Configuring Fldigiįldigi and the other applications can be started. Once the Pi is finished rebooting, connect via VNC to the Pi. There is a bug in Jessie where the programs may not available in the Menu. Sudo apt-get install pulseaudio pavucontrol MenuĪll applications will be available under the Menu in the “Internet” or “Ham Radio” group. When a decent solution can be obtained it will be documented and added to these instructions. I had some success installing pavucontrol but the Pulseaudio server was not staring automatically. One way might be to force a capture tab in ALSA using a custom configuration file. Typically this happens when something is not supported or implemented by the operating system. NOTE: with the current setup the capture levels cannot be adjusted. Making the internal sound card the default will eliminate your radio transmitting when sounds are played not intended for transmit. User may need to be a member of the ‘audio’ and ‘dialout’ groups.
