QDX, brand new, in a confused serial state, after several good RX bandhopping days. #dev #edu #serial #wspr #documentation


 

I have a good 9600 baud connection, two way, from a pi4 to the QDX. ?The poor brand new QDX is in ?confused state.

? ? Things came up correctly, brand new, 4 days ago. ? ?

? ? It RX'ed on 20m, 17m and 15m for 3 days nicely. ?Using WSJTX-2.6.1 and?"Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)"

?

? ? I would like to return to "factory default". ? ?


? ?I am an absolute vanila new user. ?I'd like to RX for a week and test the QDX before I TX

? ?Is there a keystroke I should know to "get back" / "return" ?to the "normal" initial screen.

? ? ? ? ? Thanks for any suggestion. ?Bradshaw K1TE

Should wsjtx 2.6.1 ?recognize this screen and resolve the communications across serial?

Please say what do you mean by "confused state".

What are you referring to as the "normal" initial screen??

It isn't clear to me what you are experiencing that is a problem.

To do a hardware reset you need to open Putty and get to the config screens in the QDX.

The page you see in Bitcom is the main config screen in the QDX and it all looks normal.

Normally The TX Threshold is set to zero, but I understand it should work at the default also.

thank you, I am not getting the screen that QRP-LAB shows in the PC trouble shooting.

I connected via minicom 9600,n,8,1 and expected to get the screen shown under?

? ?QDX IS ALIVE AND TALKING ? ? from ?

I got this correct screen when I first powered up the unit, after it arrived assembled from QRP-LABS.



I receive this "wrong" screen, ?I can type on this screen, it is rx and tx over serial comms, so the cable is good, 9600,N,8,1 from the pi4 running Bullseye 11.

How may I "get off" this screen, back to the correct starting screen.

From this wrong screen, TEST CAT always fails.

Thank you, Bradshaw K1TE. (also thank you also for the very quick response)

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Excited about seeing this run.

Would you know the keystrokes to get the QDX back to the normal QDX Alive and talking screen listed on?? the trouble shooting link above?

It looks like you hit enter once too often or clicked on the top item in the list "Configuration". What you should see when you click the top line in the "expected" view. I seriously doubt there is anything wrong with the QDX.

Isn't Wsjtx work any more?

Hmmm... I've never used Minicom so don't know why it would comeup at the Configuration screen rather than the normal initial screen.?

Did you get the first 5 items on the webpage for QDX is alive and talking?

Did you check the items following? ?

What results?

If nothing else stands out you'll need to do a "forced firmware update" and reload the firmware - See the bottom of the web page. I've never done that, but it doesn't sound difficult. The EPROM chip is between the CPU and the edge of the circuit board.

I'd use putty from the Pi.

Minicom is an old terminal emulater. Used it on 386 computers. It sounds like the way it handles end-of-line is not configured properly. If I remember correctly it can either send CR/LF LF or CR at end-of line. Maybe more. Also could be sending X-ON/X-OFF characters. If it's sending extra characters when you hit enter it will send you to screens you don't want. Can't help you with minicom. It's been too long.

Try installing putty and use it in serial mode.?

Just had a thought, you do have Minicom not running when you try to connect to Wsjtx don't you?

Did you get the first 5 items on the webpage for QDX is alive and talking?

Did you check the items following? ?

What results?

If nothing else stands out you'll need to do a "forced firmware update" and reload the firmware - See the bottom of the web page. I've never done that, but it doesn't sound difficult. The EPROM chip is between the CPU and the edge of the circuit board.

Screen, I am not at the ?normal config screen, and CAT does not work from wsjtx on the win10 computer.

I am still with no CAT running, and a "wrong screen". ?I saw the correct screen 3 days ago. and was able to excercise the configuration options. ?I cant get there now.

Can I find the key stroke needed to manually change from the TCXO Screen to the Config Screen that QRP-LABS says to look for on power?

Yes.mincom is in or wsjtx is in.

QDX configured and worked great for three days.

This is a qrp-labs factory assembled and tested unit.

After the three days CAT quit.


I had used minicomputer (ancient) and picocom (raspberry pi) both 9600,n,8,1 initially, to see the QDX talk happily.


When QDX CAT started consistently failing I went back to picocom first then minicomputer and found QDX on a config screen. Accepting characters from serial usb.

I have ?two correct cables, one new. Both work with my printer.

I have a 20 w qrp-labs dunnyload, ?I have not thransmitted. I have a good 17m dipole good location.

I was going for 3-4 days of RX band hopping 20-17-15 to compare the QDX to my airspy discovery hf+ with rtlsdr-wsprd to compare RX before TX

This is all for an ARRL STEM grant for schools along the 1914 Marconi 50 mile path on cape cod. ?Not in a rush. I need super reliable operation.

————?

Still stuck on the wrong screen. ?Using the qrp-labs serial troubleshooting.

I appreciate your guidance!
