Re: New to Raspberry Pi and this group
|
I have done an extensive search on internet for solutions to the problem I have been having. It seems to be specific to the FUNCube Dongle Pro + and GQRX on the Raspberry Pi. It seems to be a problem that many are having, not just me. It has nothing to do with how much current the FUBCube is drawing. It is about the same for all three SDR dongles I am using and the other two, the RTL-SDR Blog V3 and the Airspy Discovery HF+, all work fine with GQRX on the Raspberry Pi. I have tried a couple suggested solutions I found but none of them worked (when the FUNCube is started, the mouse and keyboard lock up). At this time I am giving up on using the FUNCube with GQRX on the Pi. Maybe it will work on another SDR program. I still have two other SDRmodules that DO work.

That line is already in the config.txt file. So much for that.

The problem I have had is evidently a common and well-known problem with the FUNCube dongle on GQRX. After some searching, I found a site that outlined a repair. It said
Add this
line to the bottom of /boot/config.txt: ? dtoverlay=dwc2,dr_mode=host
I am going to try that this evening.

Disconnect the USB keyboard and mouse to check the difference in current draw with each of those. And remember, you are limited to 1.2 amps TOTAL current combined from all 4 USB ports
