Re: X6100 release of v1.17, adding support for wfview

Been there, done that with G90 and GSOC. Now I have a 5105 I hope to sell tomorrow at the Cincinnati Hamfest and a 6100 just for kicks.
I keep saying no more Xiegu but still get drawn back in, like Michael Coreleone.?

I have no confidence at all in their enthusiasm for the X6100 when it could be the greatest rig they've ever designed.

I have also tested cat control in Bluetooth, this is no longer working,
I hope they do fix this issue
As all are useful,

Wow Dave, with all the other un-fixed problems you are certainly remaining positive with Xiegu. They have a lot of work yet to do but release new firmware that doesn¡¯t alter any of the existing issues. That should tell us something about Xiegu thought processes.

Re: X6100 release of v1.17, adding support for wfview

 

do1hfs is correct,with this new firmware, they have broken USB CAT control,
Yes wfview using WiFi now working, but you can not use say ham radio deluxe using the USB port,
I hope they will fix this problem, I will test with Bluetooth,
Thanks Dave 2E0DMB

It looks like a Developer Firmware for WFView and not ready for Customers.

So if there are new C-IV codes do we have extra functionality of the new codes over CAT? (assuming if we turn of WFServer CAT works as normal?)

there are changes in the 6100 code to make it work. It's not only adding a built binary and a config file.?

It requires quite a few change and additions to the CI-V code. Now, what if I wrote it alnd tol you that "added BSR CI-V code", it would not say you anything.

Now, the base code is 1.1.6 so the linux part will be what it is/was. So if BT was shoddy, it still is.?

ICOM does not mention all fixes either for instance.Do you want to have the whole git log for wfview or do you want a list of the "major things" fixed?


Re: X6100 release of v1.17, adding support for wfview

 

it doesn't. WF is WaterFall


Re: X6100 release of v1.17, adding support for wfview

 

You do know that the WF in WFView stands for WiFI.


Re: ALC 100 and NO TX output (AFT5M31N) LDMOS

 

Hi Real,

I am so happy you have fixed the radio!?

I also have flashed the new Xeigu fw 1.1.7 from the cqxeigu website but it has not fixed my problem, and so I will await the arrival of my new final transistor before continuation.?

I have downgraded and then re-upgraded the FW versions.?

I notice on careful testing that the TX current of the radio is momentarily higher also, and then drops quickly. (like chirping). The voltage on the gate of the output FET is similar in behaviour.

Once I replace the final I will update this thread. Hopefully it helps some people.

If your radio lives on or does not please let me know Amigo!

Well this is pure speculation, but often displays can be a source of noise, so perhaps Oleg is doing something like running the display at a different refresh rate ???

Hi Scot

my x6100 had the problem of alc 100 and no power output while plugged in CAT control and in FT8 mode, I believe the cat control crashed my radio,

I took the measurement of the AFT5M31N with my multimeter, it seems to me to be good, I replaced the AFT5M31N and my tests were always negative (alc100 no power). I said to myself I will wait for a new version of the firmware.

I must have been lucky with firmware 1.1.7 now the radio transmits very well, I'm afraid to use the CAT to crash my radio again!

I did nothing special

I flashed several firmware version

I replaced the AFT5M31N

and I flashed version 1.1.7 which luckily solved the problem.


Thank
Real

Works here with wfview.

Notes: Make sure the IP address is using the correct subnet and in wfview setup use the IP address in the host name field.

Well, I guess that explains why I couldn't find them in the menus.

Hi Real,?

OK.. so you replaced the ?AFT5M31N final also before flashing yes?

I have flashed the new 1.1.7 Firmware but this was not a fix yet. I wonder if you did anything particular in your sequence??

Thanks

The thing about having fewer birdies is interesting. I think that Oleg is writing the GUI only. Unless Xeigu's GUI computer is generating birdies that the radio is picking up, processing and including them in the data stream being sent to the GUI computer, there should be no difference in the two versions of GUI, I would think.
I wonder if it's possible that Xeigu is doing something in their software that generates noise via some component on the GUI computer side, like some chip or transistor or FET that's being abused that's trashing the radio?
I'm pretty sure we as programmers don't have access to the radio software at all.?
Interesting stuff...
