Re: Was the "wants to use the microphone" issue ever fixed?

Regarding flrig on Ventura 14.4.1.? Tested using my Macbook Air with USB interface cable to FT-710.? The FT-710 and FTdx10 use similar USB port h/w.
  1. install the CP210 driver found at
  2. reboot the computer after successful installation
  3. plug in FT-xxx cable if not already attached
  4. execute flrig and before attempting to configure for the Yaesu transceiver
    1. open System Settings application
    2. go to Privacy & Security / Blue tooth
    3. allow flrig to use Bluetooth.? do not know why this worked but it did
  5. check the transceiver USB serial baud rate,?? I use 115200 for my FT-710.
  6. open the flrig Configuration dialog? to Xcvr
    1. select the transceiver
    2. select the /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART device.? The /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART was not accessible.? On Ventura the "tty" devices are opend in lock mode and it appears that either another application (or the flrig serial port discovery code) did not completely close that access port.
    3. set the baud to be the same as the Xcvr
    4. set 1 stop bit
    5. set RTS/CTS
    6. set Poll Intvl to 100
    7. press the Init button
  7. shut down flrig and restart ... SUCCESS
  8. enable "Rig auto On" and "Rig auto OFF" on the drop down extras tabs, Misc.
  9. shut down flrig.? transceiver should turn OFF.
  10. start flrig.? transceiver will be discovered and turned ON

Hi, Dave.

It looks like we¡¯re almost there.? Using the steps below fldigi opens and that ¡°use the microphone¡± question is no longer popping up.? I¡¯m even able to decode signals.? Yea! I do have a terminal window open, though, and it just sits there doing nothing until I close fldigi, at which time it says:

?

Saving session...

...copying shared history...

...saving history...truncating history files...

...completed.

?

[Process completed]

?

Unfortunately, for some reason the waterfall is blank so I have to rely on the Channels frame to see where the signals are.

?

There is no $HOME/.flrig/FTDX10.prefs file, probably because I never get to the point where I can save the configuration.? If it helps, here are the contents of my flrig.prefs file:

?

; FLTK preferences file format 1.0

; vendor: w1hkj.com

; application: flrig

?

[.]

?

xcvr_name:NONE

?

My apologies for all of the trouble but your help is greatly appreciated.

Gary,

For fldigi, please try this

Open Finder to /Applications
Right click on the fldigi icon and select "Open Contents"
Double click "Contents"
Double click "MacOS"
Double click on the fldigi icon.

Does fldigi open without the microphone sob story?

For flrig,? Send me this file $HOME/.flrig/FTDX10.prefs

Which version of flrig please?

I'm desperately trying to ditch Windows and right now the only thing keeping me there is I am still not able to start Flrig and FLDigi on my M1 Mac Mini (Sonoma 14..4.1, FTDX10, Signalink). ?

On Flrig, once I set the Rig, Update, and Baud fields correctly then click Init I get a never-ending beachball and have to force quit.

On FLDigi I still can't get past the "would like to access the microphone" pop-up, no matter how many times I click Allow.

JS8Call is working like a dream and if I move the cables to a Windows laptop FLDigi works great there.

Any thoughts?? Please forgive me if the solution has been posted and I missed it.

Thanks,
