Going insane, still no install

[Hans-jacob Stenhuus]

Tryed this again after abandoning my radioberry a few months ago
Now i cant even install the radioberry software

I tryed several fresh installs on 2 different Images (bookworn and bullseye), full updates etc

Kernels and image run 64 BIT

I have 2 Pi 4s and 2 radioberrys, all the same problem

Starting to think i have 2 defective radioberrys from china

Please help me, running low on energy on this project

[Jean-Claude Abauzit]

I am not sure if it will help.

I am new to RadioBerry and I am also new to the Raspberry PI.

I had no problem installing the software and this is what I did.

I downloaded the latest installer from the PI website.

I ran the installer and chose the first OS from the list: BookWorm Desktop 64 bit.

Booted the newly created SD card.

I don't remember in which order but I answered Yes if I wanted to update the kernel and I gave the username of pi. You must use pi as username.

After that I ran the installation as described in this page:

https://github.com/pa3gsb/Radioberry-2.x/releases

The first part of the install is the one which does not work for you:

cd /tmp
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pa3gsb/Radioberry-2.x/master/SBC/rpi-4/releases/dev/radioberry_install.sh
sudo chmod +x radioberry_install.sh
./radioberry_install.sh

It worked for me.

Note:

At this point it does not matter if you RadioBerry is good or bad. It even need not be present:

I did not receive my RadioBerry when I did the install

The rest of the install when smoothly and when I started PIHPSDR it just said that it did not find any board.

If you can pass the first part do not answer yes when it asks if you want to use Local CW.

Don't ask why I know.

I have updated the driver.  Should work now.

Follow the instruction on https://github.com/pa3gsb/Radioberry-2.x/releases/tag/radioberry

Please let us know if it works for you? i just did an install wihtout issues.

Hi Johan, I installed the software one week ago without any problem as you can see in my post above.

Should I do a reinstall?

Thanks

[Jean-Claude Abauzit]

I may have found out:

It worked for me as I have a CL016 and the problem was with the CL025 which Hans-Jacob has.

[Hans-jacob Stenhuus]

UPDATE

Johans driver update worked for the radioberry install. thank you!

now to where i got stuck last time. Im not getting any signal, only a little noise. as you can see on the attached photo.
the noise increases a little when i touch the antenna.

Here is a print from the terminal~

Sorry to hear that. The noise seems strange to me: on my RadioBerry with NO antenna connected  the noise is uniform across the spectrum. May be yours is normal as you have an antenna connected.

What you should try is moving the RX-GAIN up and down. With no antenna you should see no noise when the control is at 0 and at maximum you should have  a relatively high and uniform noise level.

[Hans-jacob Stenhuus]

No nothing. Still No real signal.
Anyone?

So without antenna and moving the RX gain slider the noise floor does no go up and down?

[Wim PE1PWR]

I guess Jean that you have resoldering the AD9866 chip. There are a lot with bad soldering.

I have four Radioberry cards with 3 solder problems. https://youtu.be/SzMaRHlwolc?feature=shared

Hopes this will help you. You can try to put some pressure on the chip and see if something happens in receiving noise level.

Hi Wim, I am not the one having the problem, Hans-Jacob has it. Before I got my RadioBerry we had exchanges on the forum and you told me about bad PCBs and bad soldering of the modem. I suspect it is the problem Hans-Jacob has but I wanted to know more about it before making the suggestion. If the noise floor does not move when moving the RX gain slider it is almost certain the problem lies with the modem. Hopefully if this the case he can get it going by pressing on the chip. This chip is really tiny and the pins very close and it must be delicate to reflow it. A lot of flux, an iron just wet with solder, niot loaded, a good magnifier to check afterwards. A hot air station could also do the job but some kapton tape would have to suround the chip. I would go with the soldetring iron. I got my RadioBerry from an Aliexpress vendor said to be selling goods boards, although there was one feedback for a bad one. It is a CL016 black board. On Amazon and Ebay they seem to be selling only CL025 green boards

Although all these boards  have a QC passed sticker it looks like no testing is  . May be it is cheaper to give a refund once in a while than testing them.

I too am unable to install the radioberry driver now on my Pi4. It was working briefly this morning then suddenly collapsed including my Pihpsd

error: 4079 bytes of body still expected

then all guess red, failed to stop radioberry etc

RadioBerry driver installation failed.

What is going on?

The nois floor rises. But still No signal when testing with something like a 433 MHz remote.

[Jean-Claude Abauzit]

433 MHz is kind of high in frequency, I am not sure you would see anything.  Just take some 10m of wire as a sloper outside and use it as an antenna. If you do not have a male SMA connector use stranded wire an take a few strands that you can twist together  and insert it in the center hole of the SMA femelle connector. You should hear something, if there are AM brodcast stations in your area you should be able to hear them: long wave which are almost all gone: 153-279kHz

Medium wave from 526-1606kHz.

[Hans-jacob Stenhuus]

You Are right. Tested with 125 khz signal and everything is Working. Thank you!
