Hello KJ7PLR,
I'm relatively new to direwolf, learning the ropes. So
much possibility and an amazing piece of software.?
RaspberyPi4 Type 1 USB <-> Yaesu 857D CAT mini din, using an
RTSystems USB-62C cable.
The RTS cable doesn't do sound.
I have this configuration working properly using flrig
at 4800 baud. Image attached. PTT works.
No image attached but I would expect PTT would work but that's it.
arecord -l shows no capture devices.?
aplay -l shows only the bcm2835 as card0
Correct.? You need a sound device to use.? Refer to the Direwolf
UserGuide doc but it's recommended to use a Syba USB sound device
which costs $9.?
My question is: how should direwolf/raspian be
configured to utilize the FTDI cable for everything including PTT,
as flrig ?does? I'm close. but missing something obvious.
You could use a GPIO pin off the Raspberry Pi with a simple
transistor circuit for PTT and use that cable elsewhere.? Now, if
you would like to do full rig control on your FT857 with this cable,
you can do so.? You could continue to use Flrig for rig control or
since Direwolf is a command like tool, you could use the command
line centric Hamlib program like rigctl to do basic rig control.? Up
to you.
