Re: FLDIGI - RTTY output to Serial Device
开云体育In the Misc section of the FLDIGI configuration you can choose 'RX text capture' and enable 'rx text stream' in the window that pops up.?That stream goes by default to .fldigi/talk/output.txt in your home directory. The best is to write a little script in bash or another of your? favourite languages as you need to set the serial port speed, open output.txt and read it in a loop to see or new characters are appended? to that file and copy/output those to your serial device.

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)
开云体育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; 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! Cheers Bob VK2YQA On 17/4/25 06:16, Dave, G?WBX via

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)
开云体育Hi again. OK, I've tried every which way and then some. I can get the new .07 alpha to restore my station and operator details, the view window layout (including the "show all 48 macros" setting) etc. But it still flatly refuses to use any pre existing macro definition file, or accumulated Log data file? And yes, I know Linux is case sensitive.? Ive been copying the
needed files "as is" between backup folders and the same
location(s) in the new .fldigi folder tree.? (That the new .07
does create.? And I think that is the problem, it creates new,
overwriting what was there.) What do you need from me to debug this? Or...? What specific instructions do you have to install an alpha, but retain the pre-existing settings and logs etc. 73. Dave G0WBX.

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.

开云体育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

.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. 73. Dave G0WBX

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.
