This is a good start, but I hope to make it much more sophisticated later.
So far, it’s exceedingly simple, but it allows me to turn the radio on and off, go to different memory channels, turn DATA mode on and off, and key up the radio. Well, being a programming nerd, I thought it’d be fun to write my own little controller for the IC-7100. You can have flrig running on the Raspberry pi and fldigi running on the client, and they will be able to communicate and key up the radio and stuff. If you just want to do digital modes through fldigi, you’re probably good to go at this point. We’d have to set up the VPN to go outside of our home through the internet. Recall, at this point, we’re on a local network. Here’s a screenshot of running fldigi on my laptop, receiving audio in this kind of a setup. Now you can do voice and digital modes through your network! Cool. If you’re using a IC-7100 too, make sure you have it set either to DATA mode (FM-D) or in such a way that the USB audio will make it into the transmitter.
#RASPBERRY PI FLDIGI INSTALL#
In summary, first install some build dependencies:Īnd then you can adjust the connections on the RPi side of things if necessary. Following this guide, I got it to work (I skipped the bluetooth stuff).
PulseAudio 2.0 exists in the RPi repositories, but I had much better luck with a more recent version (PulseAudio 6.0), which I built from source. We need to use the PulseAudio linux sound system to pipe audio through the network. Building PulseAudio 6.0 on the Raspberry Pi If you want your Raspberry Pi to work on wifi, you’ll have to set that up too. I set up public/private keys so I don’t have to type a password every time I log in. I want the RPi to be a “headless” remote server (no screen, no keyboard), so I need to be able to SSH into it from my client. Prerequisites Setting up the Raspberry Pi This post focuses on the radio control and networked audio but not on setting up the VPN.
I did this all with an ICOM-7100 all-mode radio, a Raspberry Pi B+, a Buffalo DD-WRT router/VPN server, and a laptop running Ubuntu 15.04. If you want to skip the VPN and just control your ham shack from your kitchen, that’s even easier. apartment dwellers who have friends or parents who live in the boonies and wouldn’t mind you erecting an antenna). Or for people who want to set up their radio and antenna far away from where they actually live (e.g. This could be useful for people who travel a lot and want to be able to use their rig while away. This post is about how I set up remote operation on my ham radio through a Wifi network, over a VPN, and around the world using a Raspberry Pi, like this: A LIRC config file for the Peachtree Audio Decco IR remote control.Controlling a Amcrest PTZ camera with a joystick.Air quality PM 10.0 measurements around Tiki Torches.A failed attempt to find some Uranium in Washington State.Making a cloud chamber to see radiation without needing dry ice.Host your own contacts and calendars and share them across devices.The Infopanel: a simple MQTT-connected display system for weather, traffic, pictures, animations…anything!.
