Grig and IC-7410 (2)

passband

Here I am trying to change first the mode, and then the passband width (=filter). What happens is that the mode changes alright, but not the passband width.

% grig -d 5 -m 367 -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 19200 2> grig.log

I found that the debug level of 5 is necessary to gather all the traffic between grig and IC-7410.

% cat grig.log | colrm 1 40 | colrm 40 | grep "fe fe" | uniq | egrep 'e0 04|e0 06|80 04|80 06' 
            
fe fe 80 e0 06 00 fd <- Send operating mode LSB                  
fe fe 80 e0 04 fd <- Read operating mode                      
fe fe e0 80 04 00 02 fd <- mode is LSB and FIL2               
                
fe fe 80 e0 06 01 fd <- Send operating mode USB                   
fe fe 80 e0 04 fd <- Read operating mode                      
fe fe e0 80 04 01 02 fd <- mode is USB and FIL2                
                
fe fe 80 e0 06 02 fd <- Send operating mode AM                   
fe fe 80 e0 04 fd <- Read operating mode                      
fe fe e0 80 04 02 02 fd <- mode is AM and FIL2              
                
fe fe 80 e0 06 03 fd <- Send operating mode CW                   
fe fe 80 e0 04 fd <- Read operating mode                      
fe fe e0 80 04 03 02 fd <- mode is CW and FIL2               
               
fe fe 80 e0 06 04 fd <- Send operating mode RTTY                   
fe fe 80 e0 04 fd <- Read operating mode                      
fe fe e0 80 04 04 02 fd <- mode is RTTY and FIL2                

(so far so good, now I'm trying to change the passband width (=filter).)
               
fe fe 80 e0 06 04 fd <- Send operating mode RTTY                   
fe fe 80 e0 04 fd <- Read operating mode                      
fe fe e0 80 04 04 02 fd <- mode is RTTY and FIL2               

fe fe 80 e0 06 04 fd <- Send operating mode RTTY                   
fe fe 80 e0 04 fd                      
fe fe e0 80 04 04 02 fd                

fe fe 80 e0 06 04 fd <- Send operating mode RTTY                   
fe fe 80 e0 04 fd                      
fe fe e0 80 04 04 02 fd                

fe fe 80 e0 06 04 fd <- Send operating mode RTTY                   
fe fe 80 e0 04 fd                      
fe fe e0 80 04 04 02 fd

It seems only the first parameter (Operating mode) is sent, but not the second parameter (Filter setting). Is that the cause of the problem?

Grig and IC-7410

Let’s see what grig and IC-7410 are talking each other.

% grig -d 4 -m 367 -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 19200 2> grig.log

dataFormat

Before looking into the log file, we need to know the data format. The line that starts with “fe fe 80 e0” is from grig to IC-7410, and with “fe fe e0 80” from IC-7410 to grig.

% grep "fe fe" grig.log | colrm 1 40 | colrm 40 | uniq

So as far as we see here, it looks almost OK.

Use the Source, Luke! (2)

IC-7410product

So let’s see how IC-7410 is supported by Hamlib.

% dpkg -l | grep hamlib
ii  libhamlib-dev   1.2.15.3-1ubuntu4 amd64 Development library to control radio transceivers and receivers
ii  libhamlib-utils 1.2.15.3-1ubuntu4 amd64 Utilities to support the hamlib radio control library
ii  libhamlib2      1.2.15.3-1ubuntu4 amd64 Run-time library to control radio transceivers and receivers

First, we have to download the source code from here.

A little bit surprising, because I thought all the rig dependent definitions are in ic*.h

Now that you have the source, if anything goes wrong, it’s your fault!

Flrig

flrig

Flrig is a rig control program that cooperates with fldigi. It is almost OK with my IC-7410, but the mode change sometimes does not work properly. Perhaps some configuration parameters are wrong, I suspect.

CQRLOG and rigctld

cqrlogRigctld

Both fldigi and CQRLOG work fine with IC-7410. The only problem is that rigctld does not start automatically with CQRLOG, and I have to run rigctld manually.

dialout

If you try:

% cqrlog --debug=1

you will get

rigctld1

So let’s change all but the serial speed parameters to be default.

rigctld4

Now it runs!

Hamlib and grig

Grig works with IC-7410, but some functions are faulty. Of course, you can fix it by yourself if you really need to.

Grig is free software licensed under the GNU General Public License. This gives you the freedom to use and modify grig to suit your needs.

Hamlib and rigctl

rigctl

You can control your rig directly from your program, but sometimes it is easier to use existing libraries.

fldigi

Rig control is also possible from fldigi using Hamlib.

The followings are the configuration for IC-7410.
