1 SETUP OF KB5RAB IMAGE Guide to Setup and Operation of KB5RAB Raspberry Pi Image 1

2 Download image from link to Facebook document There is now only one image including DMR, DSTAR and Fusion support Download Win32diskimager to write image (Formatter if needed) Alternative Image burner Etcher (linux Mac also) Download Real VNC Viewer and Advanced IP Scanner 2

3 Image Contents Image file itself.img IRCDDBGateway DSTAR setup MMDVM.ini settings Readme First document Overall setup instructions for DMR Using VNC remote control Burn Image Using preferred method 16GB high speed microsd recommended Start program browse to select image file Verify the drive letter of your SD card Select Write Eject and remove SD card after write Plug the Pi in to your Router wired port Install Card in Pi and power up Check Router for IP address of PI or Run Advanced IP scanner to find PI IP scanner will default to your local network Hit scan and look at list to find Raspberrypi 3

4 Run Real VNC Viewer No install required just double click the download Select File New Connection Input IP address of Pi from before In VNC Server Input Name you want to call the connection Double click the new entry to open the connection Input password = raspberry Select OK to connect to Pi 4

5 Once you have the PI screen showing Click the Warning message to acknowledge You can change password if you wish Select Raspberry Pi menu top left Select Raspberry Pi Configuration from Preferences On System Tab you can set password On localization tab you can change Locale Time Zone Keyboard type Expand file system to user Full SD card Open Terminal and type sudo raspi-config Choose option 7 Advanced Options Choose option A1 Expand File System Hit enter and reboot pi 5

6 Setup you WIFI network if desired Click WIFI icon on top right You will see list of available networks Select the desired and input password You can setup phone or mobile hotspot as well Pi will switch to any network available after setup Review the ReadmeFirst.txt on desktop Much info about image and setup is in here Check the Ham Radio Shortcuts folder The first time you open it will empty Just close and open again This only happens after a fresh boot Links for most functions on the image are here You can also use the Ham Radio Menu Located on Raspberry Pi menu The same functions from desktop folder are here 6

7 Menu MMDVMHost Controls MMDVMHost service Stop Start Restart Link to Edit mmdvm.ini file for settings MMDVM Connect screen Connects to running DVM service if screen is not visible but running Menu IRCDDBGateway Link to Configure gateway for DSTAR Link to run IRCDDBGateway program Menu MD380Tools Readme for MD380tools Custom firmware Update MD380tools to latest version from Github Load firmware to Non GPS Radio Flash User Database to Radio after firmware loaded Load firmware in GPS Radio version Menu Updates These scripts will update each program or file DMRIDs.dat are auto update at 0200 daily YSFHosts.txt are auto updated at 0100 daily All others are done as needed by selecting link 7

8 Menu Misc BlueDV (Starts BlueDV Linux Beta) BMXTG Dialer (STG dialer program for DV4Mini) DV4MF2 (Starts DV4MF2 Panel Ver 12) DV4Mini (Starts DV4mini software Version Mar 06-17) Edit MMDVMDashboard config Settings for dashboard (change time zone etc) Edit startapps.sh Used to enable auto start of IRCDDB or YSF Gateway Menu YSFGateway Edit YSFGateway.ini (settings for YSFGateway) Edit YSFHosts.txt (host file of YSF reflectors) Start the YSFGateway service Stop the YSFGateway service 8

9 Changing Time zone on Dashboard Click in Menu Misc. Edit MMDVMDashboard config The config.php file for dashboard will open Change define("timezone", "America/Chicago"); Change this entry to your desired time zone Check the website below for the syntax of TZ e_zonesedit MMDVMDashboard config Enable or Disable Auto Start of IRCDDBGateway or YSFGateway Click Edit startapps.sh in the Misc. Ham Radio Menu This opens the file start_apps.sh Neither apps are enabled by default If using Fusion enable YSFGateway Remove # from this line If using DSTAR enable IRCDDBGateway Remove # from this line To disable MMDMVHost start on boot Open Terminal window and type the following sudo systemctl disable mmdvmhost sudo systemctl mask mmdvmhost Reboot To enable use sudo systemctl unmask mmdvmhost 9

10 By default image is setup with DMR only enabled in MMDVM MMDVM is capable of DSTAR and or Fusion as well The same Frequency must be used for all modes enabled MMDVMhost listens on the network and RF for any enabled mode It switches to the first mode received from either side It stays in that mode until the ModeHang time expires after a transmission There are separate hang times for Network and RF side It can only receive one mode at a time so any other will not be heard It is best not to connect to a busy reflector and DMR TG at the same time 10

11 Setup of image requires editing several config files All modes require editing of mmdvm.ini DSTAR requires editing IRCDDBGateway config Fusion requires editing YSFGateway.ini For more details of DSTAR config of IRCDDBGateway See the document IRCDDBGateway DSTAR setup included in zip file There is another good document on BM 3148 FB files section DStar_DMR on KB5RAB image_ pdf Editing YSFGateway.ini only requires a few entries Details on these settings are at the end of Readme Frist with YSF.pdf The remaining discussion will cover mmdvm.ini setting The document MMDVM.ini settings.pdf will be covered now You must stop MMDVM service before editing the ini file 11
