Re: Guide to New Rig backend creation?

#53413

Hi again.

I also to, have two PCR-1000 receivers.? So I did take a look into their support needs.

Unfortunately, the "language and protocol" is utterly different to the CI-V driven radio's, not just the IC-R9000.
(Chalk and Cheese as we'd say this side of the puddle...)

It also seems the R9k has a rather limited selection of settings that can be altered over the CI-V bus, that could make things a little easier for me.?? Based on using a terminal emulator (CuteCom) to monitor what the radio spits out down the wire with the bus in "Transceive" mode, when something is changed on its front panel.
(I've yet to find a definitive CI-V "manual" specific to the IC-R9000, if such ever existed.)

Basically, Frequency, Mode, and Filter choice.? And the same basic command string is used for both mode and Filter setting.

Anyway, I'm making some, if slow progress, but one thing eludes me, and it's nothing to do with the coding for the radio.

I see now, that Flrig when you "make" it, (re)builds everything, needed or not.?? ISTR, that earlier versions used to (by default) only rebuild and re-link based on the file(s) that changed since the last "Make".

Is there an "adjustment" I can make to allow rebuilds to only recompile and re-link based on changed files since the last "make", so that I don't have to wait many minutes for it to complete!? (Long enough to make a fresh cup-o-tea!)

Or is that something now imposed by the current compiler and linker tools, as a security measure?

Sorry, but I don't understand the contents of the makefile, and there's heck of a lot of it!

If not, this is going to take me a long time to do.

Cheers and 73 to All.

Time to learn Unix commands.

?

Open terminal. That is your home directly (the prompt will have ~ in it), if not sure, type cd <enter> that puts you back to home.

?

ls -ahl

?

This will list a bunch of stuff.

?

You should see something like:

?

lonney@office-mac1 ~ % ls -ahl ? ? ?

drwxr-xr-x ?18 lonney ?staff ? 576B Oct ?1 08:01 .flrig

?

Rename:

?

lonney@office-mac1 ~ % mv .fldigi .fldigi.old

?

Start Fldigi again.

Hey Folks,

I have just started using FLrig for my FT-991A. I am wondering if there is a way to change memory channels that are stored in the 991A from within FLrig. Thoughts?

I don't think so, that would take a program like CHIRP which doesn't yet support the 991A.

Re: fldigi on MacOS

When I run the fldigi exec file in terminal it gives this warning:?

?

Caught signal 11

Aborting fldigi due to a fatal error.

Please report this to: ? fldigi-devel@...

or file a bug report at:

I think this has something to do with a "shared memory segment" whatever that means. maybe that's the issue?

I am the original and principal developer of fldigi.? I run the program on several different Apple h/w and OS versions.? The issue described below is only associated with the latest h/w and OS releases, including Sonoma 14.6.1 on all both Intel and Apple silicon.? I too count exactly 43 clicks to get past the microphone gate keeper.? I do not know what process in fldigi's start up code is causing the problem.? I can tell you how to avoid the gatekeeper.

open a terminal window and execute the following set of commands:

$ cd /Applications/fldigi 4.2.06 (for latest version)
$ cd Contents
$ cd MacOS
$ cp fldigi ~
$ cd
$ ls (you should see the contents of your home folder with the fldigi binary present)

run this copy of fldigi in one of two ways

from the terminal window

$ cd
$ ./fldigi

or from the finder

open finder to the home directory and double click on the fldigi binary icon

Either way, fldigi will open as a terminal application.? Be sure that you have granted microphone access to the the terminal.? You do this in the System Settings for "Privacy and Security"/Microphone.
you may minimize the terminal window, but do not close it or fldigi will also close.

No, sadly nothing new on this issue in this version.

I’m running??4.2.05.24 on a M2 MacBook Air (Sequoia 15.0.1) and confirm the "FLDigi would like to access the microphone” issue IS still present in this version.

It still takes *exactly* 43 (forty-three) clicks of the “Allow” button before the “microphone” (IC7300 in my case) is allowed access.

I wonder why it *always* works after the 43rd “Allow”??

Could that number be helpful in find the the cause of this issue?

Try renaming the .fldigi folder in your home directory. Setup Fldigi again.

Hey everyone. I'm looking for help to fix a problem with fldigi on my Mac computer (v 12.7.5). I downloaded fldigi and it worked for a day or 2, but now every time I try to open it, it closes almost immediately. I'm not sure what the issue is or how to diagnose it. any help would be appreciated.

Hi.

AFIK, it's an OS imposed restriction, of the use of "Microphone" like unknown (to the OS dev's) devices (aka any audio input device) as a privacy thing.

Winders does much the same, but may be easier to tell that to let it run.

No such issues (that I've found yet) on any Linux.

(Currently, using LMDE6 here, or an old Linux Lite version, on an Acer One for /P use, mainly these days to receive the weekly SWRG broadcasts.? I have to drive for anything up to 20 minutes to find a HF quiet area, here in central UK!)

Greetings,

I am contemplating buying a iMac with M3.

I’ve always used Easy Digi with my Toshiba Satelite with Win 7. Works great on BPSK31 that I operate 90% of my QSO’s.

Is there an Easy Digi product that Clifford is selling, that will provide easy connectivity using the 2024 iMac M3.

All comments are greatly appreciated.
