So first thing is to make sure the PiDV is properly seated on the pins. Here is information on using the serial port from the GPIO (turn off console to it) https://www.abelectronics.co.uk/kb/article/1035/raspberry-pi-3--4-and-zero-w-serial-port-usage Use the ambetest.py program(s) to verify the serial port is communicating with the PiDV HAT. (Baud Rate is 230K unless the board has been modified). If it passes all of that, then try the AMBEserver. Make sure nothing else is installed that might be grabbing the port. I suggest the current version of Buster and AMBEserver alone to get going. - Hide quoted text - On Mon, Apr 20, 2020 at 3:33 PM Mechanical_Mac wrote: The dv3000 which is now the PiDV as I understand.

Before I pull out the remaining few strands of hair I have left, for the love of God, can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I initially attempted to install my DV3000 on my Raspberry Pi 3 B+ according to the instruction found at: https://nw-digital-radio.groups.io/g/ambe/wiki/Installing-AMBEserver-on-a-Raspberry-Pi-3-and-PiDV%E2%84%A2 Having failed miserably, I followed John's advice at: https://nw-digital-radio.groups.io/g/ambe/wiki/Installing-AMBEserver-on-a-Raspberry-Pi-3-and-PiDV%E2%84%A2 and attempted to install it using the latest version of Buster and the Quick Build on Linux method outlined at: https://nw-digital-radio.groups.io/g/ambe/wiki/AMBEserver-Addendum Still no success. Any advice much appreciated.
