Digirig support in WoAD

There are no plans currently for adding an ARDOP TNC internal to WoAD, so for now its just a connection to a remote ARDOP TNC (through either telnet or USB). Something I’ll keep in mind for the future though.

All the best,

If you mean the Destination Address, that will be the callsign of the receiving station, usually suffixed with the ‘-10’ SSID.

This can be browsed with the RMS list after setting your grid information in the Position Report section of the 3 dot menu.

Thanks for the reply Andrew! I’ll have to see if there’s an android version of ARDOP for android that I can latch into in the meantime to avoid lugging around my raspberry pi.

Nailed it! Thanks for the reply! Woad could work only with VHF/UHF stations or hf also?

Happy to help!

Yes, WoAD can also be used for HF primarily through the Vara and ARDOP connection options.

These will require TCP/IP or other connection methods to an applicable modem (such as Direwolf for the Vara application or ardopc/piardopc for ARDOP) that runs on a separate computer.

So far, I haven’t found an all-android solution for HF winlink using WoAD, and I’m currently using a raspberry pi and piardopc to fill that gap.

Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions!

Cheers,
Dan

Thanks Dan! I’ll make some tests and I’ll come back with my results. :wink:

Disregard. I got it working.

Trying to get this to work with an anytone d868uv with no luck.

I thought RTS would work, but no joy.

Any suggestions?

I did get this working with that other audio interface product, but wanted to use something smaller.

Andrew reports public availability of WoAD version 1.4.68 including Digirig support.
Documentation is updated to reflect the changes.

Download it from the Google Play Store or from WoAD - Download

Hi,

I just updated my Woad app to the latest version 1.4.68 on two separate Android phones. One is a Samsung and the other is an LG. When I enable the PTT USB RTS, I do not get an option in the USB PORT selection area to choose from. Do you have any suggestions on what to try? Thanks.

Hey Todd:
Do you have the Digirig plugged in? It will not appear as a possible selection if it’s disconnected from the Android system

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the response. Yes, I had the USB lugged into the digi rig. Also, I confirmed the unit was OTC capable.

Any ideas are appreciated.

Todd

Maybe another app is using the Digirig? I usually plug the Digirig in with the screen unlocked, then it prompts me to select an app to use with the connected USB device.

Can you post an image of the config page?

Trying to get Woad and Digirig Mobile working with both a FT-70 and VX-6R. Woad works great with a Mobilinkd TNC3 but not so much with the DR. I have tried replicating Dans settings above but can’t get it to work. The best i have been able to accomplish is keying the radio but it never unkeys. Are there any settings within Android that i need to take a look at?

Thanks for joining this thread, this forum! I like WoAD.

hello I would be very happy if you explain how to use the application with digirig

I have a Tripltek 8(Android tablet) and the latest Digirig. Whenever I plug in the Digirig, a little headphone icon appears at the top of the screen, and the app launch option appears.
I set up WoAD(1.4.74) to use RTS, and the appropriate USB dev device path. When I run a session, the PTT is triggered, but the headphone icon disappears, and the sound is played through the Tripltek speaker. So, the radio transmits silence.
It’d be nice if the current sound device name is listed in WoAD. I’m flying blind, otherwise.
Thanks

I have a Samsung G21, WOAD, Digirig and a Yaesu VX-6R.

I’ve followed Dan’s setup, above, but the radio will not switch to TX. Do I need an OTG cable between the phone and the Digirig? Is that why the radio won’t transmit?

With VX-6R make sure the cable fully engages. Some operators reported that it is necessary to remove the o-ring. You can test the PTT functionality using this method:

Hi Dennis,

Yes, it’s me who has been in contact with you about the O-ring. :slight_smile:

The radio transmits fine with the cable (without o-ring) when connected to the DigiRig when using Winlink… But will not transmit in WOAD using Dan’s settings.

The Android phone recognizes the DigiRig and suggests WOAD as an app to open when the DigiRig is connected. I hear tones through the DigiRig audio or if I connect earphones to the audio port, so everything except the PTT appears to be working.

Not sure If I should make a new post or share this here but I too am having trouble with Digirig/WOAD. Replicating the same settings as above; everytime I start a session I get the notification “RTS disable: exception” and the radio begins flickering transmit. Could it possibly be the usb c cable between the digirig and and my phone or might it be something else I am missing?

Thanks,
