The card I was booting on was not completely set up for the TNC-PI. <div>I’m sorry. I am recovering from eye surgery done last Tuesday. </div><div><br></div><div>I had completely set up the G8BPQ node with two TNC-PI board in i2c mode last Monday (before eye surgery) and then took out that card to back it up. When I failed to get the back-up to restore onto a new card, I decided to start over on the new card. But then when i was reading your email I forgot that I hadn’t completed the sequence. </div><div><br></div><div>I put back the card I was using last Monday and ran your commands again. </div><div><br></div><div>Here is another try of the same commands. </div><div><div style="margin: 0px; font-family: 'Prestige Elite Std'; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The programs included with the Debian GNU/Linux system are free software;</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-family: 'Prestige Elite Std'; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">the exact distribution terms for each program are described in the</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-family: 'Prestige Elite Std'; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">individual files in /usr/share/doc/*/copyright.</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-family: 'Prestige Elite Std'; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); min-height: 17px;"><br></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-family: 'Prestige Elite Std'; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Debian GNU/Linux comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, to the extent</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-family: 'Prestige Elite Std'; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">permitted by applicable law.</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-family: 'Prestige Elite Std'; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Last login: Tue Jan 28 00:52:26 2014 from 10.0.0.179</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-family: 'Prestige Elite Std'; color: rgb(52, 189, 38); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><b>pi@raspberrypi</b><span style="color: #ffffff"> </span><span style="color: #7d9aff"><b>~ $</b></span><span style="color: #ffffff"> uname -r</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-family: 'Prestige Elite Std'; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">3.10.25+</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-family: 'Prestige Elite Std'; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="color: #34bd26"><b>pi@raspberrypi</b></span> <span style="color: #7d9aff"><b>~ $</b></span> cat /boot/cmdline.txt</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-family: 'Prestige Elite Std'; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p6 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline rootwait</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-family: 'Prestige Elite Std'; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="color: #34bd26"><b>pi@raspberrypi</b></span> <span style="color: #7d9aff"><b>~ $</b></span> grep -v -e '^ *$' -v -e '^#' < /boot/config.txt</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-family: 'Prestige Elite Std'; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">hdmi_force_hotplug=1</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-family: 'Prestige Elite Std'; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); min-height: 17px;"><br></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-family: 'Prestige Elite Std'; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">hdmi_force_hotplug=1</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-family: 'Prestige Elite Std'; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); position: static; z-index: auto;">config_hdmi_boost=4</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-family: 'Prestige Elite Std'; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">overscan_left=24</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-family: 'Prestige Elite Std'; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">overscan_right=24</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-family: 'Prestige Elite Std'; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">overscan_top=16</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-family: 'Prestige Elite Std'; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">overscan_bottom=16</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-family: 'Prestige Elite Std'; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">disable_overscan=0</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-family: 'Prestige Elite Std'; color: rgb(52, 189, 38); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><b>pi@raspberrypi</b><span style="color: #ffffff"> </span><span style="color: #7d9aff"><b>~ $</b></span><span style="color: #ffffff"> </span></div></div><div><span style="color: #ffffff"><br></span></div><div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">

I hope you can give me a tutorial on how to do PC to PC linking using Ethernet and G8BPQ. I?m not very good with Linux. Please send your BPQ32.CFG files. Thanks. <br>Can you describe the setup you are using to test? Do you have a free-range TNC talking to the ?left? PC? How are you seeing the traffic come out the ?right? PC? Did you engage a monitoring facility on G8BPQ? I haven?t gotten so far as to find out how to do that.<br><br>My test system is an AEA PK88 TNC on one end, then that is over a short radio link to a TNC-PI plugged into the top of the Raspberry PI, then the 2nd TNC-PI on the same Raspberry PI is hooked to a radio that talks to and listens on 144.39. Currently this works and I can connect into the node using the web interface and also connect in and out on packet over 144.39. <br><br>I want to build up a 2nd Raspberry PI and use the facility you are working on (AX25UDP?) to link the two together across my desk. <br><br>My intention is to build a multi-county Internet-Free and congestion-free terrestrial VHF/UHF Amateur Radio packet network consisting of at least a dozen stations, all of whom will be full-time network participants with a dedicated link between them. As of Feb 2, 2014 there is just vapor-ware, what you and I are talking about. I want to use Internet for configuration only as far as the radio network goes. We already have Internet as a parallel network. I think adding Internet paths, users, and data, to a ham radio network is counter-productive.<br><br>I would very much like the capability have using a home-computer system as part of the node but where the full-time-up parts of the system are run through Raspberry PI units and dedicated (cheap) radios. The home-computer can thus be taken off-line without interrupting the network traffic. I have a solution, I think, that will enable complete dual-radio network nodes, including antennas, to be built for around $400. Some shipping costs may need to be added. Some of us already have some of this gear. I have a source for the GelCel.
