Re: YAAC - Installed on inovato Quadra but no USB to TNC option

Andrew P. All Messages By This Member #2354 开云体育 You still need to tell YAAC what type of equipment you are connecting (a TNC, a GPS receiver, etc.) first, i.e., the YAAC Port Type. Then YAAC will give you a list of physical connection ports available (such as /dev/ttyUSB0) that support that type of device. There are about a dozen different types of devices and network connections you can make in YAAC, and none of them self-identify what they are to YAAC, so you need to tell YAAC what it is.

If I add YAAC as a member of the group owning the 'serial port device' /dev/ttyUSB0 - or whatever it turns out to be, will /dev/ttyUSB0 be automatically added to the drop-down ports menu? Thanks.

You could have your Argent Data Tracker connected through a motherboard COM port (non-USB) if your computer was old enough to have one; the TNC would behave the same regardless of the cable type. What the YAAC port types specify is what is on the other end of the communications cable, such as a Serial_TNC for a Terminal Network Controller connected through a serial port. Similarly, Serial_GPS specifies a GPS receiver connected through a serial port. Note that the Linux user account running YAAC will have to be a member of the group owning the serial port device (such as /dev/ttyUSB0), or YAAC will not have permissions to open the port. Typically, this will be the "dialout" group. Type the "groups" command at a shell prompt to see in which groups your account is a member. You can use the "sudo usermod" command to modify your account's supplemental group membership if needed. Hope this helps. Andrew, KA2DDO author of YAAC Can YAAC talk to USB? I looked in File -> Configure -> Expert Mode -> Add Port but none of the drop-down options mention USB. My rig is an ALinco DR-135T MkIII with an internal Argent Data Tracker TNC that's connected via USB. Thanks?
