#hamlib — Public Fediverse posts

The #nerd #high has produced another result! A result that barely clears the hurdles for its intended purpose, but a result nonetheless.

It has been quite a journey peeling this metaphorical onion. I'd like to think that I learned something about #Emacs #Lisp and #OrgMode along the way.

No test suite so it may decide to do something weird if a mosquito sneezes on the other side of the planet.

Yes, I tried Org export. No, it did not seem well suited to the Cabrillo portion of the task. But reading the #hamradio transceiver was almost trivial with #Hamlib.

I may try to take this for a spin on a casual #AmateurRadio #portable operation. We shall see.

40 hours give or take, but I finally have #gnuradio talking directly to my ft857d using #soapyaudio and #hamlib - RX only at the moment, but I'm going to be working on TX.

After calming down from all the excitement, I'll document the parameters and commit a proof of concept.

Working on a test framework project for #Hamlib amateur radio device control library, funded by @ARDC. Our goal is to have all supported CAT control commands tested in an automated way to improve the quality and reliability of Hamlib!

Hope to share the initial release of the test framework codebase soon.

Oh, and the relays in this transceiver still seem happy 😅🤞

Happy new year 2️⃣ 0️⃣ 2️⃣ 6️⃣ 🎆 ! This year, Web Radio Control remote control software will get some long-awaited updates: a redesigned web user interface (screenshots to follow soon), software update mechanism and plenty of improvements to make setup easier than ever.

We're also working on some significant new features on #Hamlib software with @OH3CUF - check out the @ARDC -funded project plan in GitHub: https://github.com/orgs/Hamlib/projects/1

HF packet radio on M2 macOS with Xiegu X6100, direwolf, hamlib, and paracon (quick notes)

Install Stuff

• with Homebrew
  • brew install direwolf
  • brew install hamlib
• make direwolf config folder
  • I chose /Users/Matt/direwolf
• download paracon: https://github.com/mfncooper/paracon/releases/
  • put into direwolf config folder

Configure Stuff

• update direwolf.conf with call sign, name of audio devices, and PTT setup
  • ADEVICE "USB Audio Device" "USB Audio Device"
    • Those are actual names, not placeholders
  • PTT RIG 3087 /dev/cu.usbmodem53620077003
    • Xiegu X6100 is hamlib rig 3087
    • Device list can be found with ls /dev/cu.* and copied into the line
    • This probably changes every time you plug it in?

Get Going

• plug X6100 (dev) into computer
• assuming direwolf config folder at ~/direwolf:
  • run cd ~/direwolf & direwolf
  • run python3 ~/direwolf/paracon_1.3.0.pyz
• Paracon: AGW connection
  • AGW host 127.0.0.1
  • AGW port 8000

I fixed one bug. #WaveLog wants to hear from the radio from time to time, so I made it send updates at least minutely even if there has been no change.

I also fixed several configuration errors that all got in the way of a proper release with binaries, so WaveLogGoat release 0.0.5 has been posted with binaries built for 12 different platforms.

The hamlib / rigctrld support is still not tested. Looking for someone who uses #hamlib / #rigctrld and would like a lightweight bridge to WaveLog!

This past weekend I operated in a #hamradio #contest, with #FreeBSD and #sway on the logging computer, with help from #tlf, #cwdaemon, and #hamlib for actually interacting with the radio.

It worked better than the antenna, and the antenna worked pretty well.

It's a #niche within a #niche within a #niche but it makes me #grateful for #opensource.

@Piciok @weinig Sieht man Euch auf der Ham Radio in Friedrigshafen? Pascale und ich sind die drei Tage am Stand der #IBFD und stellen unsere Transceiver-Steuerung auf Basis der #HamLib vor. Haben uns ja schon Jahre nicht mehr gesehen. #Ham #Amateurfunk #Blind #Accessibility #HamRadio2025 #FediHams #FediHamsFN

Hmmm...looking like its some interaction between RF GAIN knob and the S meter and possibly the auto tuner. Played with them until I could get the S meter giving me updated values via rigctl. Need to dig deeper, but this part of the pipeline (and AGC) has always been a creaky corner for me! #hamradio #hamlib

Weird issue with one of my hamlib / rigctl scripts. My s-meter seems stuck at "181" no matter what, rest of my rigctl works as expected, serial baud right, freq can be set, etc... radio and laptop have been dormant for 4 months or so, not sure what changed. need to see what got update behind the scenes... weird! #hamradio #hamlib

@m0rpk You are right, it is not ready for contest.

But maybe, there is a way to insert the relevant data to your editor using #hamlib. :alex_thinking:

#GettingCloser on the #SatNOGS RF ground station for #satellites .

The Green Heron RT-21 Az/El rotator controller is different from many other rotators in that it has a separate USB port for Az and El. In other words, you plug in to the rotator with two USB cables for the Raspbery Pi.

Bits of it are in #hamlib , but I think it is only for other models.

#LY1BWB: a fully remote-controlled and #Linux based satellite VHF/UHF station in Vilnius, Lithuania, can be tuned in by anyone at http://sdr.vhf.lt. For #hamradio purposes, we only use free and open source software (FedoraOS, #hamlib, Gpredict, cwdaemon, qsstv, pulseaudio, ...). En route to #fosdem2020, I have remotely downloaded this gem while in an airport lounge:

Linux in the Ham Shack | #206.

In this episode: an in-depth look at the wonder of hamlib, the software that binds applications to amateur radio hardware.

It's cross platform, small and actively developed.
