G8JCFSDR 281 on Linux Mint


 

Hello Peter

I have installed G8JCFSDR 281 on Linux Mint DE4 with WINE for Elektor SDR-Shield2
and I have updated to Arduino via the terminal (si5351vfoGM8JCF.hex).
My problem is that the program doesn't seem to work with Arduino
because the serial port I have is / dev / ttyACM0 and not COM1.
Is there a solution for this ???

Hi Nikos

Welcome to the group.

As I understand WINE, the COM port mapping should be automatically handled by WINE, see I know very little about WINE, but hopefully the link will help U get the COM port working. Note that U must be a member of dialout or sys group to be able to access serial ports.

I'd really like to know how you progress with getting the G8JCFSDR to work on LINUX+WINE, and please don't hesitate to ask any further questions.

Apologies that I don't have a better answer to your problem.

Hello Peter

? Thank you for your replay and your advice,
I will check it out and i will let you know.
The program works with the WINE,
the only problem is the serial port.

Hi Nikos

That is fantastic news indeed.

Hopefully once U get the serial port working, you will be able to tell us all that the G8JCFSDR can be got to operate under LINUX

To help check your serial port connectivity, if U open a terminal emulator to the port, baud rate 115200, 8data, 1Stop, No Parity, Line terminator CRLF, U can issue the command
v<crlf> and the SDR Shield will respond with the version number
f nnnnnn<crlf> where nnnnnn is the frequency in Hz to set the tuned frequency to will tune the SDR shield
f ?<crlf>? and the SDR Shield will respond with the current tuned frequency
