<div dir="ltr"><div>Sam, the Direwolf community knows a lot about using Direwolf with the RPi and there is a separate pdf in the Direwolf doc folder for this. They use a USB dongle for the modem audio because the RPi lacks an audio input. Direwolf does not depend on a serial connection, so there is no discussion that I know of of the serial port for this use.</div><div><br></div><div>I thought of direct-connecting the serial port to the Baofang for CHIRP myself, based on the simple observation that USB-->serial 5vdc --> serial 3.3Vdc is basically a kludge: If you already have a 3.3vdc serial port, then why add all that extra stuff. My guess is that you need to be a new user like myself to see through the years of accumulated evolution in the interface.<br></div><div><br></div><div>My personal project is to support my HT with a completely portable tiny Linux system running both CHIRP and Direwolf, using a smartphone or tablet connected via WiFi or OTG as the UI. With the Pi0W, the Pi0W itself is small, but the two USB dongles and their associated cables and a tiny USB hub are all much bigger than the Pi0W itself. Using the NanoPi eliminates all of that extra stuff, replacing it with six wires and a few passives.<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Apr 4, 2019 at 7:24 AM sam walton <<a href="mailto:sam@foofrancine.com">sam@foofrancine.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="overflow-wrap: break-word;">I'm personally fascinated by your results.

It worked. Many modern HTs use a 3.3V serial interface, which is what the Pi0W exposes on its header pins. I just connected the Pi0W's RxD, TxD, and GND to the appropriate pins on the Baofeng UV-5RA. with 2K resistors in the RxD and TxD wires and just a straight wire for GND. It worked. CHIRP did take a very long time to get itself initrialized the first time. I think that is because the Pi0W is a slow single-CPU machine. For packet, I intended to use the Pi0W, running Direwolf, but I'm now shifting to the FriendlyArm NanoPi Duo, because is has on-board audio I/O which eliminates the need for a USB audio dongle. The NanoPi is also only about half the size of the Pi0W and it has four CPUs. The downside is that it is not as well supported, so I'm on my own for pretty much everything. I have CHIRP running on the NanoPi Duo now. I intend to see if I can build a CHIRP wire for my Yaesu FT-4.<br></div><br style="font-family:Helvetica;font-size:12px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;text-decoration:none"><div class="gmail_quote" style="font-family:Helvetica;font-size:12px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;text-decoration:none"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Apr 3, 2019 at 8:47 PM Larry Lovell <<a href="mailto:larry.lovell76@gmail.com" target="_blank">larry.lovell76@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Thanks, I mentioned the other platforms.
