I did what you requested and it still times out……

Tue Mar 31 22:46:46 2020: ORP_RepeaterLogic_Port1: Activating module MetarInfo…
Tue Mar 31 22:46:51 2020: TX_Port1: Turning the transmitter OFF
Tue Mar 31 22:48:49 2020: ORP_RepeaterLogic_Port1: Module timeout: MetarInfo
Tue Mar 31 22:48:49 2020: ORP_RepeaterLogic_Port1: Deactivating module MetarInfo..

I choose the other entry for https://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov
Also times out:

Tue Mar 31 22:49:55 2020: ORP_RepeaterLogic_Port1: Activating module MetarInfo…
Tue Mar 31 22:49:59 2020: TX_Port1: Turning the transmitter OFF
Tue Mar 31 22:50:00 2020: ORP_RepeaterLogic_Port1: Sending short identification…
Tue Mar 31 22:50:00 2020: TX_Port1: Turning the transmitter ON
Tue Mar 31 22:50:07 2020: TX_Port1: Turning the transmitter OFF
Tue Mar 31 22:52:07 2020: ORP_RepeaterLogic_Port1: Module timeout: MetarInfo
Tue Mar 31 22:52:07 2020: ORP_RepeaterLogic_Port1: Deactivating module MetarInfo…

So I guess we will wait for newer code, let me know if you want me to put a beta image on my pi and I can test it along with you, if you decide to move forward.

Thanks,

Thanks for the quick reply Aaron,

Is there away to remove the https and see if that would work?

Anyway, looking forward to this module working one day.
I can help test if needed.

Hello Aaron,

Worked with Dan today & it looks like bad GPIO pins.
Here is the email exchange we had.

From this info I can see the i2c device bus is gone. Now to establish if it’s the pi or the controller board.

Do you have access to a second raspberry pi that you could move the board and sd card image to long enough to run the i2cdetect command again?

I have had other customers that have had problems find their pi boards were bad from various gpio damage so I would like to confirm this first before I send you a new board.

Hello Dan,

I think you hit the nail on the head!

Please see the output from another raspberry pi:

So it does see the Fe-Pi Audio now…..
I took a heat gun & re-flow the raspberry pi GPIO pins and now that seems to work now.
So it was a bad GPIO after all! Very nice tech work!

I will replace the raspberry pi 3 with a new one. I see the 3+ is out. Have to see if Aaron can make a new image of open-repeater with the Fe-Pi Audio and the new 3+

I will hook up the repeater tomorrow as a bad thunderstorm in upon us.

Thanks again,

Hello Aaron,
I downloaded the dev version that you sent the link to.
In the drop down I am only seeing:
OUTPUT: Loopback (Right)
OUTPUT: Loopback (Left)
OUTPUT: Loopback (Right)
OUTPUT: Loopback (Left)

Any thoughts?

Hello Aaron,
I had a few minutes to enter in the GPIO pins & I am still not seeing the Fe-Pi Audio in the drop down menus.

73,

Ed — KB2UNZ

[Edward, KB2UNZ]

Thanks Aaron,

I will try this this weekend.
I also have a raspberry PI Zero. Will your image work on it?
If not do you know what would need to be done?

73,
