Re: Chirp support for uBitx (was: Re: [BITX20] Implement a uBITX Memory Manager Program)
|
The current uBITX source does not have instructions to control memory yet. So I extended the CAT protocol to read and write memory for uBITX. uBITX can use 0 ~ 1023 EEPROM based on Arduino Nano.If uBITX is the only extension to the protocol, it does not matter what program it is.
Ham radio deluxe and hamlib all use memory access protocol.?The same is true of my program, and so is chirp.
uBITX can simply extend the protocol (very easy - Actually, I wrote 20 lines of code.), it will be accessible from many software.
The program I created will be one of them.
I think it's important to put an extension protocol in uBITX and I do not think it's important what programs use it. If you support uBITX in chirp, it is a good thing.
Ups... !!!
We are working on similar approaches, but I'm on the draft board
yet. Last night I was drafting a Chirp driver for the actual ubitx
code I found here:
The firmware mod is trivial, the Chirp diver kind of trivial as I
have a few years as an active Chirp's developer, some testing and
validation will be required and that takes time (a week or so).
What is the latest killing firmware repository for the uBitx?
Would you like to manage settings and memory channels from Chirp
for the bitx40 (v1 & v2) from Allard, and the latest killing
firmware for the ubitx?
For those how don't know Chirp (),
It's a cross platform (Linux, Windows, MacOS) python software with
the LoTR philosophy:
"One software to program all radios"
Currently supporting about 200+? radio models from 28 brands
()
and with an active developer and users community.

escribi¨®:
I wrote and tested
the Yaesu compatible CAT protocol. You can see it in the past
posting.
I will release the firmware I made tomorrow. The program will also
be release.
Currently, only the firmware I created can communicate, but the
protocol added for uBITX only is within 20 lines.
Adding about 20 lines to the original source will probably work.
How to modify the original source will be posted later.
My vacation is short and I am working very busy to release the
beta version of firmware I made so far tomorrow.
Most of the beta testers that we tested until last week reflected
the opinions, but I hope to make something that is not done yet.
