SCU-17 Behind The Raspberry Pi?

Pete Moscatt
 

G'Day To All,

Has anyone successfully used a Yaesu SCU-17 USB Interface with a Raspberry Pi ?

Pete VK4CCV
 

Hello Pete

Yes, I use a SCU-17 with both the Pi 4 and 3A+ connected to a Yaesu FT-891 and FT-817nd. Works very nicely with wsjt-x and fldigi.

Care to enlighten the rest of us that are having difficulty getting it to work? Any particular steps to get it to work, like having it recognized by linux and how to change the port and/or port settings? Any help would is greatly appreciated. I have mine plugged into a 8-port powered usb hub. I see 2 different entries when I use the lsusb command. Not sure which one is which. I do need the port numbers for CAT and PTT but don't know how to obtain them.

Brandon, ND3U
 

Using one behind a pi4 4gb with excellent results on Js8call wsjtx fldigi.

Thanks Guys,

I gave it a go and it was just a matter of plugging it in and selecting the Ports and away it went.

Hello Brandon

Rather than writing, hope you don't mind but I've provided pics of my FT-817 setup to the Pi 3A+ (the "Pebble" usb battery unit for the Pi was just temp while I took the pics).

The Yaesu FT-891 are similar settings except; select the Radio in "Settings" as FT-891, connect a second usb cable between the Pi usb (I don't use an external usb bus, so I use a Pi4 with multiple usb ports) and the usb CAT port of the FT-891, don't connect a SCU-17/ACC cable to an FT-891 as CAT commands are only via the usb cable direct to the Yaesu-891.

Hope that makes sense.

73 Glen G0SBN

Yaesu FT-817 and SCU-17, cables are required to both the Data and Acc (CAT) ports, and a usb cable between SCU-17 and Pi.




I use "VNC Viewer" on my Wi-Fi network to remote control WSJT-X and JS8Calll on the Pi 3A+ which is sending CAT commands to the FT-817.






WSJT-X settings (note that I used 4800 baud on the FT-817)






JS8Call settings (note that I used 4800 baud on the FT-817)

Did you install some driver on the Raspberry PI to have the SCU-17 to work?
On Windows I see the virtual com port driver is needed to be installed before connectingthe SCU-17to the PC... similar on the Raspberry?
Thanks
 

Hello tmmird

No additional drivers need to be insralled.

have you used it with qsstv? My fsk light turns on and the audio will only sent one tone.
 

Hello nl13286

Yes the SCU-17 works fine with both my FT-891 and FT-817 with QSSTV (9.4.4) on Linux. I use Linux Mint (20.3 Una) and PiOS (Bullseye) depending on hardware.

You shouldn't be seeing.the FSK indicator during transmission.

I can do some screenshots of the Sound and CAT configuration if you need it.

Hello Everyone,

Trying to get js8call to work on Raspberry pi 4, running the latest Raspbian 11.?Yaesu FT-8178 and SCU-17 connected to each other with both DATA and ACC; and USB cable from SCU-17 to RBpi.

CAT seems be working, I can see the correct frequency and PTT test works too.

On js8call settings, modulation soundcard, the dropdown seems to be empty of disabled. Cannot see any sound card :(

Help!!! ??

Try this:

?? - disconnect the SCU-17's USB cable from your Rpi
?? - open a terminal session on your Rpi and run the command "dmesg".? You should see the final part of the Rpi boot up details.? Recognize the final lines from that output of where that output was completed.
?? - re-connect the SCU-17's USB cable to your Rpi
?? - Run the command "dmesg" and at the bottom, you should see details about the SCU-17.? If you don't see anything, check your USB cable, etc.
?? - Run the command "aplay -l" and "arecord -l" to show the learned sound devices on your Rpi.? Send us the output of those two commands
????? - If your system doesn't have aplay / arecord installed, install the "alsa-utils" package with "sudo apt install alsa-utils"

Hi David,?not sure what is going on here, but I already replied twice (one time about 24h ago; and another about 10h) and I can't see it here :-( On my reply, I copy & pasted some code to answer your requested data.

The raspbian seems to detect well the devices (CAT, sound and micro) coming from SCU-17, but on js8call -> settings -> modulation soundcard, seems no have no idea about that USB sound card.?

Hello Anaxi,

It's clear that Linux is seeing your sound device so you're problem is at the application layer (wsjt-x).? Googling around, I found a few things that you might check out:

??
?? ? --
?? ? Missing libqt5multimedia5-plugins package
?? ? --
??
Not having that plugin package seems to be a common problem for people


??
??? - provides a list of packages to confirm you actually have installed


Re-read the WSJT-X installation for LInux to see if you missed any other steps:

??



Assuming you figure out why things aren't displaying, you'll then want to select the following entry in WSJT-X:

?? plughw:CARD=CODEC,DEV=0


Beyond that, I don't have anything else to recommend and I would recommend to post your question to the WSJT-X support list at

Hello David,

You are my new best friend!

I struggled with this for couple days and all it took was installing that one missing package, libqt5multimedia5-plugins.?

Thank you so much????If you ever come to Portugal, allow me to pay you a beer or something.

PS: I hope Brandon and tmmlrd on this thread also managed to get their system working.

Regards,
Anaxi

Anyone??? It looks like there are plenty people are saying that they can successfully make the SCU-17 with Raspberry Pi, but I'm really struggling to make it work.? I am having no such luck.? Could anyone please show what settings they are using to get CAT control to actually work??? The sound isn't an issue, it's the CAT control I cannot get to work.
 

Which Pi are you using?? If it's the Pi5 the software may not be compiled for it. Pi5 changed the address of the GPIO due to using a separate chip. The GPIO libraries that run on the older Pi's won't work on the 5. Until the developers update the SW to work with the 5, they need to be run on a Pi4 or earlier

I am running on a Pi4.?? People are saying it should just magically "work" on a pi4? but I am having no such luck.? I just cannot get the pi 4 to talk to the SCU 17 no matter what settings I use.? I need to see what settings people have for this
