DigiRig not working on Build-a-Pi #digirig #ft817 #flrig


 

Just got my DigiRig today looking to replace my tried and true SignaLink that has served me many years with my first digital mode JT65.? Now that I am into POTA the DigiRig + Build-a-Pi + FT817 and I have a great POTA gear bag.? However it doesn't work.? Plugged up the DigiRig and Build-a-Pi and the following port appeared:??usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2102N_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_968edf4dad67ec1193961f42ef680de7-if00-port0.? When I try to send CAT commands to it using flrig or rigctl no response from the radio.? Baud rate is correct.? Plugged the DigiRig into a Windows machine everything works.? I have a USB CAT cable that works with this configuration.? So is there a setting or driver I am missing?

Well after much searching I found the offending setting.? From?

"if you are using GPS ensure you are explicitly specifying the GPS device you are using and disable USB hot add/remove of devices in the /etc/default/gpsd file."

Whoda thunk it?? In the /etc/default/gpsd file set the following:

# Automatically hot add/remove USB GPS devices via gpsdctl

USBAUTO="false"


 

Glad you got it figured out. Out of curiosity, did you install the GPS software with Build a Pi? If so, it should have set the USBAUTO to false by default. If it didn't, I need to look into it and figure out why not.
