Its time to test Direwolf.
Make sure your in the Direwolf directory. If you arent, you can run
cd ~
cd direwolf
cd build
Once you have confirmed youre in the Direwolf directory, run
direwolf
This should start Direwolf, and it should start listening on your RIM.
If Direwolf throws any errors about CM108 not being supported, you have to backup direwolf.conf
, and redo the build process in the install guide.
If Direwolf successfully starts, you should see something like:
Dire Wolf version 1.6
Includes optional support for: cm108-ptt
Reading config file direwolf.conf
Audio device for both receive and transmit: plughw:1,0 (channel 0)
Channel 0: 1200 baud, AFSK 1200 & 2200 Hz, E+, 44100 sample rate.
Using /dev/hidraw0 GPIO 3 for channel 0 PTT control.
Ready to accept AGW client application 0 on port 8000 ...
Ready to accept KISS TCP client application 0 on port 8001 ...
Now connected to IGate server noam.aprs2.net (167.114.2.176)
Check server status here http://167.114.2.176:14501
If Direwolf's response to you looks similar to the above, you can try transmitting APRS data and seeing if it works.
If Direwolf is working, you should start to get responses in your console. Example:
KA0WAS-7 audio level = 25(14/11) [NONE] |||||||__
[0.3] KA0WAS-7>APN382:!4136.00NS08707.62W#PHGphgd W2, BURNS HARBOR FILLIN DIGI<0x0d>

[0L] KD9NSC>APDW16:!4137.40N/08711.67W#
If everything is working, you can move on to the final step, Running Direwolf as a linux service.
