    DVMEGA BlueDV for D-Star and DMR

    Installation manual

    The DVMEGA BlueDV is DMR/DSTAR hotspot software for Android 4.x and higher. Firmware
    on your new DVMEGA is already installed. New firmware for your existing DVMEGA can be
    loaded with X-Loader.

    DVMEGA firmware upgrade.

    DVMEGA Arduino Dualband Radio :

    Start X-loader, choose the correct hex file, select Device UNO or MEGA and set the COM port
    to the port number that is assigned to the ARDUINO. The baud rate defaults to 115200. Then
    press Upload to load the firmware. If the firmware is loaded correctly a message will appear
    below in the bar of the Xloader screen.

    DVMEGA Raspberry PI Singleband Radio :

    To load new firmware a programming adaptor is required. This adaptor is available from the
    shop. Before you can load new firmware a wire has to be soldered on the DVMEGA board,
    see Fig. 1. This wire is to activate the bootloader when X-loader start.

    Firmware for DVMEGA Raspberry PI Singleband radio is the same as DVMEGA Arduino UNO
    Dualband radio. So you can use a Arduino UNO to load the firmware in the microcontroller of
    the DVMEGA Raspberry PI Singleband radio. Just lift the microcontroller from the DVMEGA
    Raspberry PI Singleband radio and place in the socket on the Arduino UNO. After you have
    load the firmware place the microcontroller back on the DVMEGA Raspberry PI Singleband
    radio.

    Fig. 1

    Start X-loader, choose the correct hex file, select Device UNO and set the COM port to the
    port number that is assigned to the ARDUINO. The baud rate defaults to 115200. Then press
    , within 30 sec after connected to USB, Upload to load the firmware. If the firmware is
    loaded correctly a message will appear below in the bar of the Xloader screen.
    DVMEGA Raspberry PI Dualband Radio :

    To load new firmware a programming adaptor is required. This adaptor is available from the
    shop. Before you can load new firmware a wire has to be soldered on the DVMEGA board,
    see Fig. 2. This wire is to activate the bootloader when X-loader start.

    Fig. 2

    Start X-loader, choose the correct hex file, select Device UNO and set the COM port to the
    port number that is assigned to the ARDUINO. The baud rate defaults to 115200. Then press
    Upload to load the firmware. If the firmware is loaded correctly a message will appear below
    in the bar of the Xloader screen.

    BlueDV Android application.

    Install the Android BlueDV app from the Play Store. Search for the app BlueDV written by
    PA7LIM.

    Setup next items :

    Ham call : Your call


    DMR id : Your DMR id or CCS7 id
    Your info : Message text for D-Star
    Enable APRS : Yes / No
    DSTAR freq : Your DSTAR RX/TX frequency
    DMR freq : Your DMR RX/TX frequency
    DMR QRG : DMR QRG correction (will be explained seperate)
    Enable ser2net : Off = Bluetooth, On = Ser2net
    ser2net IP : IP adress of ser2net device

    For detailed explaination and video's please vissit : http://www.pa7lim.nl/BlueDV/


    Connect DVMEGA to BlueDV Android application.

    There are 2 way's to connect the DVMEGA to the BlueDV application.

    - Bluetooth
    -Ser2net

    Bluetooth

    A Bluetooth/program board is available from Ruud PE1MSZ


    http://www.combitronics.nl/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=61

    - Set Enable ser2net in setup tab of BlueDV app to OFF.


    - Powerup the BlueStack DVMEGA stack.
    - Search for BlueStack device on your Android device.
    - Connect BlueStach device.

    Start BlueDV Android app, HOTSPOT status will be BT CONNECTED.

    ser2net

    ATTENTION ! IF YOU USE AN EXISTING RASPBERRY IMAGE


    MAKE SURE THE G4KLX SOFTWARE IS NOT RUNNING.
    First you have to prepare your Raspberry PI to run ser2net. Make sure that no other
    application claim or use the serialport your DVMEGA is connected to. Install ser2net using
    the next procedure :

    - sudo apt-get install ser2net


    - sudo nano /etc/ser2net.conf
    - add next line at the botton :
    2000:raw:600:/dev/ttyAMA0:115200 8DATABITS NONE 1STOPBIT
    note : if you run a DVMEGA Arduino dualband shield, AMA0 must be ACM0
    - Press CRL-x
    - Press y
    - press enter
    - Restart your Raspberry PI, Ser2net is now running.

    Start BlueDV Android app, HOTSPOT status will be NET CONNECTED.

    QRG correction

    In almost all cases the QRG has to be corrected for DMR. A simple check is build in and
    informs you when you have to correct the QRG. When QRG has to be corrected the info field
    in the main windows show "PLEASE CHANGE QRG!" A good way to find the right setting is to
    search the upper and lower threshold and set the average. Every time you change the QRG
    you have to disconnect and reconnect to DMR. QRG update is only done by connect to radio
    mode.
