Quisk Version 4.1.49 November 2019

 

Quisk can now program the Hermes Gateware (FPGA flash) over Ethernet. See the button on the radio Hardware screen. I fixed some more Python 3 bugs.

Hello Jim,

It works? a treat!!! I was really impressed at how the gateware can be loaded and the radio runs as soon as it is finished without a manual restart. Quisk is really a one stop shop for HL2 and HiQSDR. Thanks a million.

I do not connect to HL2b9 after gateware loading ... i have not had a successful connect to Hermes light2 on any restart of quisk ... if i close quisk and start it will connect ... and i think that its because i have 2 networks running... DHCP for internet wifi and the fixed ip on a lan to the HL2b9 ...

So if anyone else is having that issue ... i dont think it has anything to do with Quisk

Hi,

Installed Quisk 4.1.49 and tried to upload latest stable gateware for HL2 but the process failed when trying to erase the existing code in the EEPROM. Did not work with latest Spark either ... USB blaster did to job. My HL2 is build 5.

Hi Mike,
My HL2's are on the LAN getting IP addresses via dhcp.
However, I have my standalone HiQSDR 192.168.2.196 with ODROID-C2 connected? -- Ethernet (192.168.2.198 --> 192.168.2.196) and another Ethernet? connected to my LAN (192.168.10.x via dhcp).
That's the way it has always been.
As it's completely separate and a fixed IP address, it's doubtful.

When it's disconnected can you ping it.
Also check with "dmesg -T" to see if there are any clues given.
73 ... Sid.

My sentiments also.
Thanks to Jim, when I was looking for a Linux program for Softrock, quisk looked a prime candidate and Jim responded.
When DB1CC and others decided to develop HiQSDR based on Jim's N2ADR SDR transceiver published in QEX, that was the obvious choice with quisk again figuring in the decision to get HiQSDR.
I was again delighted to see Jim's involvement and support for HL2 as I was on the brink of asking him.

Amazing stuff.

Graeme -- a few weeks ago I emailed Helmut (DB1CC) asking if the extensions to the standalone HiQSDR were ever pursued but I have not received a reply.
I wanted to know if the promised implementation of? the HiQGPIO functions using rotary encoders for tuning and other controls were done. Some years back he sent me the gpio library for Arduino but not the circuit he promised or the proposed use of a different microcontroller.
73 ... Sid.

Hi Sid,

In the early days pre softrock I had a sound card sdr made from CD4066's in parallel and an AD9850 vfo controlled with a PIC. I corresponded with Jim and he helped me to get it going with Quisk and although I tried all the other consoless I stayed with Quisk and it is still my primary radio except for wspr where I use the fabulous SparkSDR. I reckon that about the time Jim was getting USB going you must have been working in parallel and he was being hounded by us both :-) I will be forever grateful for what he did for us as it was outside of what he needed for his personal station.

I think that Helmut may have lost interest in the early development of HiQSDR and it seems to have gone off in another direction with different PC console from Quisk so I don't expect that you will get the IO extensions that you are looking for. It might be possible to implement this ourselves in conjunction with Quisk and do it sort of backwards but I have no chance in the near future of looking at it as having recently moved house I am still trying to unpack enough boxes and make cupboards and benches so I can get the car in the garage. However a stand alone radio with HiQSDR is on my horizon and I want to use HL2 as a box that I connect all kinds of experimental accessories to and it will sit on my lan.

I do hope that you get a response.

Hi Graeme,
I found Jim by googling "Linux SDR Software". Looking at his code I thought it would not be too difficult to get Softrock supported.

Helmut and his group moved on to developing the R2T2 SDR transciever using QtRadio but the HiQSDR stuff is still up for sale on technologie2000.de

The file is gpio.tgz. The code builds gpio_V0_1.hex for ATmega32 and is interfaced to the HiQSDR Aux IO port, needs +3.3V signals from the ATmega32.

I originally used his RASDR software which had to be modified for different timezones and a few terms from German into English but eventually settled for quisk with Raspberry Pi 2 --> Pi3 -> the more powerful ODROID-C2 960K samplerate.

No great hurry, when you are settled and have the time.
73 ... Sid.
