WSJT-X and Pi2

[KB2WVO]

hello...
i been looking around for someone who knows or can help rework or install working version or anythig on WSJT-X..

any any help at all would be awsome..
it is ham radio related and many many ham radio folks use the pi.. and many would love a working JT65. so you could be well known some day for helpin on this.. hi hi ...

i might even pay a lil for your time..
there is a program called FLDIGI... it installs fairly easy .. need to down a few Libs . but the apt-get works fine for this..
there is no apt-get for WSJT-X..

thank you very much for any help..
and for the folks you might say try WSPR i think it is.. thats fine but there is tons of us who wish for WSJT.. thank you

Hello and welcome to the forum!

I did a quick search & think I found the page for wsjt, which has versions for windows & Debian.

What may be of use is that the page has a link to the source code.

http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/wsjtx.html

I don't know if you have experience of compiling from source, but I have compiled xastir from source, as the Raspbian version doesn't have festival support (voice output) as standard..

yeah thats part of the problem.. iam probley about 10% knowing of linux. enough to delete my harddrive a few times lol cough

so i wouldnt know if iam doing it rite step by step.. and if not then waste hours ..
illl have to read up on compling and see what i can do ..
ty for the idea..

[KB2WVO]

yeah sort of figured...

iam lost the install file says use cmake and them this then that. no clue.. o will guess ill wait for someone to get this to a make file type thing..

thanks anyways

[KB2WVO]

ok iam at cmake. but when ran. to build wsjt. it says not the newest . i have 2.8.9 and it says higher then 2.10 i tink it was..

no clue how to force a update as it says its the newest.

Glad to hear you are making progress.
If I have time in the coming week, I will have a go at this, and record how I get on.
I have an xastir install to finish before a raynet event, so that will have to take priority.

I have wsjt-x installed on my Pi 3, with latest version of Jessie. That was no problem.

Is anyone actually running this? I am having trouble with configuration.

I have fldigi installed and use it all the time. It is fantastic on the Pi 3. I use it with Signalink USB on my FT-450 radio.
I also bought a real time clock to keep track of the time, while out portable.

I am past the install thing. I just want to know what to do to get it actually running.
Do I have to install pulse-audio? Do I have to do the .asoundrc trick.
I have seen some possible solutions, but I haven't found anyone who got it to run and is actually running it.

Can anyone assist this non-computer-literate new ham on how-to load FlDigi into Raspberry Pi3? I've been able to access the internet now, but apparently the source forge options look like they are for windows and as I understand it Pi3 is Linux and not compatible. Any help would be appreciated!

There is an FLdigi package in the repository on Jessie now but here it did not work on the Pi2 and 3
Hence i compiled it from the source which also brings you to the latest and greatest version. https://sourceforge.net/projects/fldigi/files/

Here is a very good HowTo:
https://www.jeffreykopcak.com/2015/10/1 ... erry-pi-2/
Just follow it and it instantly brings FLdigi to run on the RasPi.

One additional sound issue has to be manually fixed in Jessie for FLdigi !
Of course you need a cheap USB sound stick cause the RasPi has no sound input device and additionally this stick has to be accepted by Jessie as the primary soundcard (by default its always secondary)
Here are the mandatory steps:

Create a file with the nano editor in /etc/modprobe.d/ named alsa-base.conf with the following content:

root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
# This sets the index value of the cards but doesn't reorder.
options snd_usb_audio index=0
options snd_bcm2835 index=1

# Does the reordering.
options snd slots=snd-usb-audio,snd-bcm2835

Save the file and Reboot.
With aplay -l you can check the actual index and see that the stick is now primary (0).

Connect a microphone or ather audio device and with arecord test.wav create an audio testfile.
aplay test.wav should play it over a headphone or connected speakers.
If thats the case your sound device is OK and FLdigi will work without any issues.

Check this post from KI7MT, http://wsprnet.org/drupal/node/5567 .

I just managed to install it in the RPi 2 and it works.

Hope it helped

If you want to have the current version of fldigi, you'll need to build it. I'm running Ubunut-Mate on several Pi2 and Pi3 devices with fldigi, flarq, flmsg, flamp and flwrap installed (all interfaced to SignaLink USB audio devices). To install these, launch the Terminal application.

If you don't have the build environment, run the following lines in Terminal:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential

The following lines install the libraries required and the applications:

sudo apt-get build-dep libfltk1.3-dev
sudo apt-get install libfltk1.3-dev
sudo apt-get build-dep portaudio19-dev
sudo apt-get install portaudio19-dev
sudo apt-get build-dep fldigi
sudo apt-get install fldigi
sudo apt-get build-dep flmsg
sudo apt-get install flmsg
sudo apt-get build-dep flamp
sudo apt-get install flamp
sudo apt-get build-dep flwrap
sudo apt-get install flwrap

i realize this is an older post

just got my pi3 and attempting to get fldigi and associated programs installed.

in the above step-by-step guide, flwrap is not found

not sure where to turn to next for the file.

thanks
