Does it behave if you lower power all the way down?

Re: flrig v2.0.05 has a problem setting 2 stop bits

Nico
 

I tried flrig 2.0.05.75 on linux and I selected FT-747GX. When I try to initialize it freezes the radio. I have to turn it off and on again to unfreeze it. I also checked fldigi and this doesn?t happend with FT-747GX selected. Is there any way to hardcode the 2 stop bits on the windows version to check it? maybe I could use a microcontroller to capture the UART frames and re transmit them with 2 stop bits.

Same result, it still isn?t sending the 2 stop bits. I noticed it says "DCB.StopBits 0" I guess it should say "DCB.StopBits 2". Also, it says "expected 28 bytes" but the radio sends 345 bytes.

Re: Double-clicking setup.exe does nothing

 

I use 7-zip all the time...but my action of choice is to
right click the file in the Windows file manager
from the context menu...with options created by installing 7-zip...
...I choose...
Extract to "name_of_zip_file"
That is the fastest for me. Then I rename the resulting dir if I want it renamed...and in this case, I suspect you do.
The other recommendations about fldigi config directory and files is ~exactly~ why I never install any fl_suite program, but always unzip. I have spent far too much time with hams trying to debug the mess they created by installing, removing, etc., unaware that they were contributing to their problems. Then follow the other suggestions of Tobias.

~R~
Re: Double-clicking setup.exe does nothing

 


Bill,

Just like Rich wrote, if setup doesn't run as expected (and provided you have downloaded the correct FLdigi setup file!) it may make more sense to extract (unzip) it directly into the new folder of your choice.


Then you can:

1. First verify that the setup file is complete.

2. See exactly what you put where.

3. Then run the fldigi.exe from your (new) folder and see what happens. Normally, you should be OK now.


Please take a look at the attached screenshot:

If you don't have/use it already, I highly recommend to download the lightweight, versatile and free 7zip archive manager from 'www.7-zip.org'.

With it, you can open the setup file just like an ordinary zip file, which is what I show in the attached screenshot.

Either drag the 'fldigi...setup.exe' onto '7zFM.exe' (see below) or, if you have setup 7zip this way, use the context menu (or right click) in the Explorer and then, with your FLdigi setup file selected, choose 7zip > Open archive.

In 7zip, once you have the setup file opened, first click the 'test' icon to see whether the archive as such is OK. This is *not* a malw./vir. check (!), it simply tests the archive data integrity. 7zip may or may not check and find issues in the file while opening it, so this extra check is useful.

The 7zip File Manager (7zFM.exe) can be setup to display 2 windows side-by-side, as shown here.

There simply select all the program files and folders contained in the setup file and (if you have entered the path of the target folder on the right side, as shown here), click the 'Copy' icon and the files are extracted into your chosen folder. Alternatively, you may also drag the selection into the right window or into a separate explorer window showing the target folder.

Then run FLdigi as usual and all should work as expected. From this point onward, the 7zip window is no longer needed.


Notes:

1. If all looked OK so far but the FLdigi program window still does not open, consult the Windows 'Task Manager' (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) and look for fldigi.exe in the 'Process' tab. If it is visible there (possibly multiple times: sort the list it by name clicking the respective header!), close all these previous instances and run FLdigi from your new folder again.

2. If FLdigi still won't open, you may try and locate existing data and settings from an (old) installation, usually in 'C:\Users\<UserName>\fldigi.files'. If this folder exists, close all fldigi instances (as described in 1.) and rename the 'fldigi.files' folder into something else, e.g. '_BACKUP_fldigi.files' (you may wish to keep it in case you still have useful data there). Then run Fldigi again - now there's no reason why it should fail. FLdigi will recreate the 'fldigi.files' folder with default values. Then copy what you still need from the _BACKUP_ into the new fldigi.files folder and you're all set. Once complete, you can remove the _BACKUP_ folder. If this method did not work either, I'm afraid I don't have an explanation or advice.

3. Should you wonder, no, not every app ('exe') can be opened this way as an archive. But the fldigi setup for Windows is compatible with this operation.


Hope this helps. Good luck!

And please let us know whether (and if so, how) you were successful.

Can you test WSJT-X-Improved to see if it works with the FT747?



Then we can compare debug logs.

Or if you contact me off-list maybe we can hook up using AnyDesk and do some debugging.

Re: flrig v2.0.05 has a problem setting 2 stop bits

 

Last night I re-installed FLRIG 2.0.05 freshly downloaded from Sourceforge. It installed and controls FLDIGI correctly, to operate an IC7300.

I don't think that the "problem" resides in the two programs themselves. Be sure that -after setting the stop bit 2- you go to the bottom of that screen and choose SAVE or INITIATE.

Also, on the FLDIGI Configure tab there is an option to SAVE SETUP.

Re: flrig v2.0.05 has a problem setting 2 stop bits

I can do the testing for the Yaesu FT-80C or the FT-747 because they are almost the same and I have the 80C. I forgot to mention that the issue of the stop bits happens only in the windows version. I have tested the linux version and it does not have that issue. But both versions have the issue that they do not recognize the radio. Do I have to send Dave a message or will he read this messages? Thanks!

Ok, well hopefully Dave will be able to check the code and find the issue. One of the big challenges is that he does not have any way of actually testing on many of the rigs to verify the code.

Re: Double-clicking setup.exe does nothing

 

I never install it, because of the way I use it. Installations always result in conflicts with the constant changes I make to my systems. I unzip, and run from there.
I wondered at the choice of FL_APP, because that suggests you are thinking of FL_APPS....for the portable installation.
Sorry to say I don't have a clue about why 4.2.05 would do this.
You should not have to log in as admin.
Did you download from

*** Note http, NOT https !
What Windows version?
I imagine that even if, as I have seen on occasion, the install window winds up behind some other window or minimized, it would still be on the taskbar.
Sorry not much help.
