I'm trying to persuade Gpredict to control my FT-817 to no avail. When I open the Radio Control menu, it shows pretty Doppler corrections that it simply won't send to the radio. When I invoke rigctl and ask for the frequency, it looks like this:
pi@aramis:~ $ rigctl -l | grep FT-817? 1020? Yaesu? ? ?FT-817? ? ?20201015.0? ? ? Stable? ? ? RIG_MODEL_FT817
pi@aramis:~ $ rigctl -m 1020 -r /dev/ttyUSB0
?
Rig command: f
get_freq: error = Communication timed out
rig.c(2090):rig_get_freq return(-5)
rigctl_parse.c(1998):rigctl_get_freq return(-5)
rigctl_parse: vfo_opt=0
?
Rig command: q
pi@aramis:~ $ rigctl -m 1020 -r /dev/ttyAMA0
?
Rig command: f
get_freq: error = Communication timed out
rig.c(2090):rig_get_freq return(-5)
rigctl_parse.c(1998):rigctl_get_freq return(-5)
rigctl_parse: vfo_opt=0
?
Rig command: q
pi@aramis:
The lights on my USB/serial adapter don't do anything. Nothing does anything. I believe that rigctl isn't seeing my adapter at all. Yet, flrig and fldigi work perfectly using the same adapter.
Any suggestions?
