Easy to find on the Yaesu website or send me a note and glad to send a Dropbox link - it runs about 40MB so not something I can just attach.
Raspberry pi fldigi manual#
Also, keep a copy of the operating manual handy. Lots of folks find better success when using a USB cable with ferrite chokes - see and they also have a 3-ft version.

Fail to do that correctly and everything goes right out the window. I know it says its specific to Winlink, but it will help you with many of the Menu settings for any digital mode. One of the challenges with the FT991A are all the Menu options, but take a look at this: and its probably a pretty good starting point. You especially want the FLDIGI suite as it include Flrig which is very helpful when running WSJT-X from a Pi.
Raspberry pi fldigi install#
I just install all of the programs except the Hotspot related ones.

During the set-up process, you can select the programs you want to install - including WSJT-X. More info at ( and on Jason's YouTube channel: use the search term of "Build" and the videos relating to Build-A-Pi will be prioritized in the list ). $HOME/pi-build & bash $HOME/pi-build/build-a-pi it runs itself from there (hint: once it starts downloading, walk away as it will likely take a couple of hours to fully load all the files). For BAP, just flash a new raspberry pi operating system to a microsd card ***, open a terminal window and enter the following (copy and paste the below - don't try to edit or make it llok nice / just copy and paste): git clone \
Raspberry pi fldigi update#
Jason's BAP process will also allow for updates of individual programs just running a single update link that's part of the process rather than having to edit command lines in the software. That's not a knock on HamPi, its just how my thought process works. I've used both and just prefer the way Jason KM4ACK approaches the project. Perhaps you already have so just skip this first recommendation.) We're similar in that I'm not a computer person either and for that reason, really like the Jason KM4ACK Build-a-Pi project (BAP) a lot more than Dave's HamPi. This will get you familiar with the Menu which is part of the steep FT-991A learning curve. Because I have PulseAudio installed already, I do not need to install that or add myself to the dialout group.Dick - (an initial thought: If you haven't done so already, I'd suggest getting proficient running FT8 just using your FT-991A connected directly to a laptop and then add Raspberry Pi as a next project. I followed the direction and it worked like a charm. There is a source code build directions on the fldigi-wiki Which I will follow.Ĭreate a directory to store your source code: $ mkdir sourceĭownload the FLDIGI source and untar it: $ tar zxvf If you installed the full version, you may have to add some additional software, we will cover that as we go along.įirst, let’s make sure we have the most recent software: $ sudo apt-get update Let’s see what happens!įirst, if you installed a NOOB or Lite version of the software, you will need to install some additional software. The Pi I am using now is a Type3 B with WiFi and 1 Gbyte of RAM and a much faster ARM chip. Like everything else, time marches on, and I thought it might be time to see if a newer Raspberry Pi might perform better. That attempt was done on a Series 2 Raspberry Pi, with 512 Mbytes of RAM and an older ARM chip. Back in 2014, I wrote an article about my attempts to compile FLDIGI on a Raspberry Pi.
