We’ll configure the rig control in the next section when we connect the Kx3 to the RPi. You will need to fill in your call sign, the rest is optional. Starting FlDigi for the first time brings you to the Operator Configuration window. You should now have the FlDigi on your RPi desktop. As Ed says, sit back and watch it happen, and it will happen for quite some time, perhaps an hour.Make the script executable by typing : sudo chmod +x pi3-fldigi-setup.sh.Open the Terminal program ( monitor icon).Copy, or move, this file into the pi folder.The script is called pi3-fldigi-setup.sh. This is accessible via the file manager, the file cabinet icon in the top apps bar. It should end up in the pi/Downloads folder.

( I assume you can get the RPi to connect to the internet) and download the script.

NOTE: this script does install Hamlib so you can control most rigs directly from FlDigi if you configure FlDigi’s rig control to use Hamlib and pick your transceiver’s rig description file. Ed says when he gets time he will add some of the other apps. It is available on the Indy Ham web site ( Here ) The only disadvantage that I see is it only covers FlDigi and not the auxiliary programs. It does everything from download FlDigi through compiling it for Raspbian. The easiest and simplest way to get FlDigi onto the RPi is to use Ed Valasek (K3HTK)’s script. If you too have gone that route I strongly suggest you reformat your SD card, reload Raspbian and start again. I’ve tried walking through all the steps as described on a couple of sites without success. Open the terminal and cut and paste, or type if your good at that stuff:Īt this time there does not appear to be a Raspbian distro for FlDigi. If you loaded the Raspbian operating system then let’s do some updates. Will set FlDigi to point to the USB soundcard. Fo now you can leave it as the secondary audio device, the built in the primary. You can make your new USB soundcard the default RPi audio input and output if you want. Something to the order of “C-Media …” should show up on the list, along with all your other USB devices. Installing the card is a simple as plugging it into the RPi, via a hub or extension.Ĭonfirm the soundcard has been installed by typing the following into the terminal: lsusb The RPi/s USB ports are too close together to accept a sound card USB adapter so you will need a hub or a USB extension. Ed Valasek (K3HTK), more on Ed later, is using the Sabrent AU-MMSA. I am using the SYBA SD-CM-UAUD USB Stereo Audio Adapter. There are a pile of cheap USB soundcards. The RPi only has audio output so a soundcard is needed. I tested this with a 16 GB card formatted as FAT32 with SD Formatter on a Win 7 machine and imaged it with Win32DiskImager.

I recommend you install the full Raspbian image rather than NOOBS. You will need an 8 to 32 GB micro SD card with Raspbian loaded on it. The OS image is loaded from a micro SD card. Note: There are a number of DVI interface configurations (DVI-I, DVI-D etc.) make sure your cable is compatible with your monitor’s input. If you have a monitor with DVI input you can purchase an HDMI to DVI cable to go between the RPi and your monitor. If you have an HDMI ready monitor (or TV) just connect it with an HDMI cable to the RPi and you are all set. The RPi outputs composite video and HDMI. The Pi will run on less, try a cell phone charger…Ī good source for RPi hardware is. * RPi micro USB power supplyĪ 2.5 amp 5 vdc supply is recommended. Only a separate keyboard / mouse has been tested. A keyboard with a built in USB hub will save you one of the RPi’s USB ports (it has 4) but isn’t required. Let’s take these one at a time: * USB Keyboard and mouseĪlmost any USB keyboard and mouse will work. USB Hub: powered or unpowered, needs enough room for the USB Soundcard.

Micro SD card with an operating system installed.

The RPi is sold without an operating system or any type of input / output so you will need: Here’s how I did did it: Getting the RPi Operational
