FLDIGI - RTTY output to Serial Device
Greetings:
?
I have setup an RTTY -> phone -> modem ->ASR-33 demo here at the Computer Museum @ System Source (Hunt Valley, MD) ()
?
I am taking an RTTY Feed, (for example ) and feeding the sound into a telephone handset.
?
When the handset is in a modem (I am just using the modem microphone since I don't think we have a modem for 45baud, Baudot) the sound goes into the sound card and is decoded by fldigi.
?
I have not figured out how to easily get the text (which appears on fldigi screen) to the serial port which goes to the teletype.
?
I have hacked it by logging the RTTY text to a file, and then I am using a Python script to clean up the log file and print on the ASR-33.? Hoping to find a way to simplify and pipe the rtty signal directly to /dev/ttyUSB0.
?
Thanks
Bob
?
(More details, not really important for the question, but here is the setup)
Raspberry Pi 5, with USB sound dongle:
mplayer gets rtty feed.? Sound redirected from HDMI to USB Sound Dongle that is wired to old school Dial-up telephone.? When phone goes off hook, we hear the RTTY signal from the phone earpiece.
Earpiece is set in acoustic modem.? just used the microphone which is wired back into microphone input on USB sound dongle.? Fldigi decodes RTTY, and logs to /home/pi/.fldigi/fldigiyyyymmdd.log
Python opens the file, skips two the end, the cuts the beginning of each line which logging info, and it sends the ASCII text to a USB->Serial Dongle.? ASR-33 has a 3rd party card to take RS-232 as input instead of Current loop.

Re: kcat (kachina 505dsp) used to play nice with fldigi but now not so much
Tried a couple earlier versions, including 4.1.17 from 2020. Same behavior as the newest version. So I guess it's nothing in the new code that broke it. And maybe I'm dreaming that it ever worked...
?
Pasted below are a few log lines that show the behavior. You can see that kcat is trying to increment the frequency up, but if I'm interpreting the log correctly, fldigi keeps pushing it back to 14070.?
Interesting lines underlined and bold.

Re: Fldigi 4.2.06.27 (was Re: [winfldigi] RX/RTX Character Set)
Hi Dave.
Not seeing the accumulated logs (and a lot of other problems)
maybe a result of that change some years ago to use
$HOME/.fldigi/.fldigi when it was previously just $HOME/.fldigi
eg my older installation in $HOME/.fldigi/fldigi.prefs defines
the macro files as;
last_macro_file:/home/xxxx/.fldigi/macros/macros.mdf
Whereas some experimental configs add an extra "'.fldigi". eg
last_macro_file:/home/xxxx/.fldigi.experimental/.fldigi/macros/macros.mdf
(The .nbems directory also gets put in the later .fldigi
structure)
Also check fldigi_def.xml for every reference to a file/directory
location, that is valid for your installation. Mine for example
are;
<THOR_AVATAR_IMAGE_FILE>/home/xxxx/.fldigi/avatars/vk2yqa.png</THOR_AVATAR_IMAGE_FILE>
<CTYDAT_PATHNAME>/home/xxxx/.fldigi/</CTYDAT_PATHNAME>
<XMLRIGFILENAME>/home/xxxx/.fldigi/rigs/IC-9100-D.xml</XMLRIGFILENAME>
<LOGBOOKFILENAME>/home/xxxx/.fldigi/logs/logbook.adif</LOGBOOKFILENAME>
<WEFAXSAVEDIR>/home/xxxx/.fldigi/wefax/</WEFAXSAVEDIR>
<KML_SAVE_DIR>/home/xxxx/.fldigi/kml/</KML_SAVE_DIR>
<AUTO_PROG3_PATHNAME>/home/xxxx/bin/logsn3</AUTO_PROG3_PATHNAME>
Oh and make sure you haven't merged an old and new tree together.
There would normally be nothing except .fldigi and .nbems
directories within the newer $HOME/.fldigi one. Any mixing might
explain the lack of logfile visibility too.
As an in initial check in a shell box, cd to the directory you
want to check and;
find . -print
Then post the output here along with fldigi.prefs and
fldigi_def.xml. Check that there is only one file of that name in
your tree. (Pls verify nothing personal/private gets posted)
Hope this makes sense!

kcat (kachina 505dsp) used to play nice with fldigi but now not so much
I use kcat all the time and it works great. I use fldigi only now and then. But I built fldigi from source yesterday, to get all the new-and-improved, all looked clean. But now doesn't work with kcat.
?
I wish I had tried this before blowing away my old fldigi. I can't say what version it was, or if for sure it would have worked yesterday. But it used to work.
?
fldigi version 4.2.06
kcat version 1.2.5
?
Sequence & Symptoms:
- start fldigi
- some alsa lib errors, JackShmReadWritePtr messages
- some complaints about not being able to open sockets
- But it starts up and shows a nice normal looking window.
- start kcat - no indicated issues
?
I start fldigi in a terminal window and after starting kcat I can see that the two are talking over the xmlrpc link, constant streaming of freq/band/mode messages in the fldigi terminal window that look ok.
Frequency, mode, bandwidth are the same in both gui windows.
If I change mode or bandwidth on kcat, fldigi tracks. Likewise if I change mode or bandwidth from fldigi, kcat tracks.
===> If I try to change frequency from kcat, it won't, meaning it briefly shows the changed frequency then jumps back.
===> If I change frequency from fldigi, fldigi updates the display as if normal, but nothing happens on the kcat end (stays stuck on same freq as when started).
If I close fldigi, kcat can then manage the frequency as normal. So it would seem fldigi is not allowing kcat to change frequency.
?
I think this setup worked a few months ago. kcat has not changed. fldigi has changed.?
I would try building a downlevel fldigi to test against but I don't know how, and can't find instructions.
?
Any suggestions appreciated.

Re: Fldigi 4.2.06.27 (was Re: [winfldigi] RX/RTX Character Set)
This is not a font change Dave, but a translation table change.? The missing character will be the pound sterling symbol.
The translation change is for the " ' " and bell characters.
Check to be? sure of the fldigi folder naming.? Linux/Unix is case sensitive,? .fldigi and .Fldigi are not the same.
Dave
Built and runs OK, but ...
a)??? Not sure where the new font choices appear, I can't see
anything new listed in the config font menu choices relating
specifically to RTTY.
That, and more worryingly...
b)??? The new .27 alpha, has wiped out my pre-existing macro
configurations and log's!....
I had backups, so copied them back into the default .Fldigi
folder structure (as I had to do for .26) and ran it again.? Same
result, logs etc are empty (it appears to write new blank/default
files without checking first it seems.)
Past alpha (pre .26) updates didn't have this issue, but .26 and
.27 do it seems.? .27 with a vengeance it seems!
OS:??? LMDE 6 64bit, on 4 core intel with 8G RAM.? All
up-to-date.

FS: RPi 5 / 8 Gb w/ 256 GB SSD and Accessories
Still finding "experiments."
I have a RPi 5 with 8 GB RAM. It also has a Raspberry Pi Foundation active cooling fan and third-party daughterboard (SupTronics X1000 v1.5) for an M.2 NVME SSD. Includes a black Raspberry Pi Foundation enclosure. The RPi with fan and daughterboard mostly fit inside the case. The top will not snap down due to the SSD board GPIO header extension.
?
Also includes a Geekworm 5 VDC / 5 A power supply.
?
All of it works, I'm just no longer interested in pursuing the use of a Raspberry Pi.
?
$100 total shipped to your door.

Please respond direct if interested.

If you are encountering lag and freezing with FLDIGI after upgrading to Bookworm, the issue may be with the Wayland display server native to that operating system.?

Reverting to X11 may resolve the issue, and is extremely easy to accomplish through sudo raspi-config. Here is a website I found with simple instructions:

Re: Macro for timed band-switching?
To test the use of fldigi-shell from a cron script file I created two cron entries using "crontab"
dave@tk7:~$ crontab -l
# Edit this file to introduce tasks to be run by cron.
#
# Each task to run has to be defined through a single line
# indicating with different fields when the task will be run
# and what command to run for the task
#
# To define the time you can provide concrete values for
# minute (m), hour (h), day of month (dom), month (mon),
# and day of week (dow) or use '*' in these fields (for 'any').
#
# Notice that tasks will be started based on the cron's system
# daemon's notion of time and timezones.
#
# Output of the crontab jobs (including errors) is sent through
# email to the user the crontab file belongs to (unless redirected).
#
# For example, you can run a backup of all your user accounts
# at 5 a.m every week with:
# 0 5 * * 1 tar -zcf /var/backups/home.tgz /home/
#
# For more information see the manual pages of crontab(5) and cron(8)
#
# m h ?dom mon dow ? command
30 21 * * * /home/dave/bin/fldigi-shell -c "rig.set_frequency 14070000"
45 21 * * * /home/dave/bin/fldigi-shell -c "rig.set_frequency 7070000"
a few minutes before 2130 and then waited for the cron demon?to execute the 2130 and 2145 entries.
Worked perfectly.

For very long duration timing and band/frequency changes you should set up a chron?job that sends xmlrpc commands to the fldigi xmlrpc server.??
