How does it work?
● BPQ is a software program– Runs on most computers
– Somewhat complex configuration file
● Connects to radio via Terminal Node Controller (TNC)– Typically serial connection
● Interconnects via IP● Built-in BBS, iGate, Chat server, ...

rPi/BPQ vs. KPC3+ BBS
● rPi/BPQ Pros– Lower cost ($100)
– Much larger capacity (GB vs. kB)
– More ports (multiple RF, serial and IP)
– Sophisticated forwarding
● rPi/BPQ Cons– Higher current draw
– Less tolerant of bad power

Complaint: Hard to set up BPQ
● BPQ is very sophisticated, and that necessarily adds complexity
● Solutions:– Use bpq-config to get started– Web interface for BBS etc.– Join a support group
● Yahoo BPQ32● RMHAM

Why so rPi and BBB centric?
● BPQ is software – runs anywhere– Supported on Windows, OSX, Linux– Best run as a headless server
● rPi and BBB are– Inexpensive– Reliable Linux boxes– DC powered– TNC/Pi & TNC/Black daughter boards– All the cool kids have one

Why the rPi/TNC-Pi?
● Extremely well supported● Complete package with screen

Brief history of BPQ
● Written by John Wiseman G8BPQ● Originally called BPQCODE● Became BPQ32 in late 90s● Ported to OSX/Linux in 2000s● Ported to Raspberry Pi/TNC-PI and Beagle
Bone Black/TNC-Black

Building the TNC kit
● It takes a few hours to build– Quality soldering iron time
– Simple, excellent instructions
● Test it– Check voltages, insert ICs
– LEDs should flash on power up
– Configure OS and BPQ
● John W2FS provides outstanding after-sales support

Selecting a Username
● Default user name– Raspberry Pi = pi
– Beaglebone Black = debian
● The default user name is good for BPQ and similar programs with multiple users
● Create a login for each user● Create subdirectories for programs like
BPQ which will clutter the home directory

Setting up an iGate
● This iGate setup is on a BeagleBone Black– The only difference with an rPi is the serial
port names in the Port section
● The Node setup is the same as what was done previously– Some but not all the parameters are relevant
● Ports are mapped as Packet or APRS in port configuration– You can have both Packet and APRS ports on
the same BPQ node

Adding device ports
● Beaglebone has 5 serial ports– Stack 4 TNC-Blacks
– Attach external devices via headers
● Raspberry Pi has 1 serial port– Access TNC-Pi via I2C bus
– Requires reprogramming of TNC-Pi

Reprogramming TNC
● Disable BPQ to have exclusive access to the TNC device– systemctl disable bpq.service
– systemctl stop bpq.service
● Turn off power between steps● Enable BPQ when done
– systemctl enable bpq.service
– systemctl start bpq.service

Time● rPi and BBB does not have a real time
clock, sets time using NTP● If network does not recover after power
failure, messages may be purged● Add DS1307 RTC
from Adafruit orsimilar device

Power Backup● With a 6600 mAh LiPo battery the PowerCape
will run a BB and TNC for more than a day● Controlled shutdown on low battery

Beaglebone Notes● The BB configuration is similar except that
up to 4 TNC can be run as /dev/ttyO1 - /dev/ttyO5
● mkbpq puts web configuration on port 8008 since 8080 is used

What breaks BPQ● Things that mess with serial and I2C
– Raspberry Pi 3 (bluetooth, CPU freq)
– getty on rPi
– Debian 8 on Beaglebone
● Use lsof and i2c-tools to debug– If BPQ receives (stations in mh) but no transmit,
a device clash is likely
● Run sudo ./pilinbpq from command line

Updating BPQ
● BPQ is updated regularly● bpq-config Download will dowload the
latest version of executables and the matching HTML pages
● After downloading restart BPQ

About bpq-config
● bpq-config is designed to get you started– It covers most installations, but not all
● It keeps its on configuration file .bpqconfig– Easier to parse
– Hand edits are lost when using bpq-config
– Version 1.1 may parse bpq32.cfg instead
● This is new software– Bug reports and improvements are welcome
– Patches are even more welcome

Setting pins at boot
● Edit /etc/rc.local– Runs at boot time as root– Enable pin 18 for output and set high
echo 18 > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio18/direction
echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio18/value– Before this runs, values are unpredictable

Observations
● Temperature conversion occurs when you cat the file– About 700mS per device
● Temperature reads are best done using a separate thread
● rPi 1wire support in raspi-config

Installation
● Mount the receiver as close to the antenna as possible– RTL-SDR is not weather proof
– 18” N to micro-UHF jumper
● Run long USB cable to rPi

SDR TCP server
● Start rtl_tcp as root– rtl_tcp -a <ipaddress>
– Default port is 1234 (set with -p)
● Connect to it with an SDR program such as SDR# or GNU Radio on a device with enough power to process the data

SmokePi = Bad Idea
● SD storage not suitable for database applications– Lots of writes wears out flash
● SmokePi generates lots of graphs– SD slow compared to disk
– Lots of writes wears out flash
● USB-mSATA hat allows adding a hard disk– With a SSD drive this becomes feasible
