Ham Radio Control Libraries / Discussion / Help: rigctl doesn't work with FT817 on rpi.

Erik Smith - 2021-12-06

Hi, I need some help.
I am new to this forum. I am running TS480 and FT817 on ubuntu computers with rigctl and rigctld, without problems.

But my FT817 doesn't work with rigctl on the RPI. The following programs are working fine on the rpi, FLrig and wsjtx, so USB comm should be ok.
Situation: FT817, hamlib 4.4 on raspberry pi 4, SB2000 radio interface
When I start rigctl, the FT817 is immediately in transmitting mode. Polling f and m gives an answer, but F with frequency is not posisble because the radio is in transmitting mode. When I use 38400 baud instead of 9600 or 4800, FT817 is not responding.
Could this be a problem of timing? In the FLrig program I had to look for the best timing of polling and retries.

Could some one help me. Enclosed the 9600baud text:
rigctl -m 1020 -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 9600 -vvvvv
rigctl.c(444) Startup: rigctl -m 1020 -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 9600 -vvvvv
rigctl Hamlib 4.5~git from indeterminate source revision.

    Thanks Mike, I tried this but no effect.
    
    I have changed the serial port (another USB/COM adapter) and this helped. I can now work with rigctl. I will test rigctld this afternoon.
    it is still strange that the SB2000 doesn't work well. (Is a FT232R USB UART FTDI) and the other comm I use now and works with the ft817 and hamlib is a ch341-uart.
    
    At this moment I can do my job. But I am still wondering why it doesn't work with the SB2000?

      Do you have the rig set for RTS or DTR keying?
      
      Quite possible the SB2000 has the lines held high.

Hi Mike,
Yes, you are right, the SB2000 puts the PTT and CW/FSK lights high. In normal situation this shouldn't.
I have tried:
rigctl -m 1020 -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 9600 -P RIG
but this didn't help. I thought PTT by RIG will bypass DTR?

I even tried :
rigctl -m 1020 -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 9600 --set-conf=dtr_state="OFF" --set-conf=rts_state="OFF"
Ok, the 2 leds PTT and CW are not high, but communication is timed out

I work always PTT via CAT.
Any other ideas to overcome this problem?

73's Erik

  I wonder if the SB2000 need DTR or RTS high to enable it?
  Try setting one of those to HIGH
