That is awesome!
There are a number of "test programs" included with the package. The specific one designed for testing the back ends is "rigctl".?
The command to make it work with the FT-980? (using a USB serial driver) would be "rigctl -m 1031 -r /dev/ttyUSB0", where 1031 tell hamlib we are using an FT-980 rig. You can use it like this interactively, send commands to execute via the command line, or direct a setof commands into it via "<".
Note: I plan to also make an automated test vector routine (to avoid the potential of screwing up something already working with a later change) ... but that won't work for first time testing, and examining corner cases.
Versions:
The "release" version on github is the one with the bug where you can't access memory 16.
The "daily" version on github has the memory fix in it, but you'll need to set it up to compile (I put instructions in dropbox).
The one on my computer has the VFO fix since I haven't pushed it upstream to github yet.
