Apart from the first, each line of text has TWO identical URLs split at the first "fldigi/".

Many thanks for you time and effort on all of your software packages.

Remote operating with Bookworm and NoMachine

 

I remotely operate my HF station by logging into a Raspberry Pi with NoMachine and streaming my radio's audio.? I recently upgraded to a Raspberry Pi 5 and installed the latest version of the Raspberry Pi OS named Bookworm.? There are many configuration changes for remote operating with NoMachine between Bookworm and the previous version named Bullseye.? In general:
  • Windowing system must be changed from Wayland to X11.
  • Default audio handler must be changed from the Pipewire to PulseAudio.
  • Pipewire must be completely removed for NoMachine to stream audio.
  • , the Perl program used to generate the script to set up audio streaming, has been modified to set the level of USB audio to 50%.? The default value is zero which will result in no output power for digital signals going to the radio via USB.? This new version is named
Here is a link to a document that provides more details:

I've made this work on a couple of Raspberry Pi 5's and a Raspberry Pi 400, so I'm confident this works.? Please let me know if you have any issues or questions.? I am not a Raspberry Pi OS guru, so if you know of a better way to make this all work, I'm willing to listen.? I'm particularly interested if there's a better way to deal with Pipewire.

Speaking of the Raspberry Pi 5, it is *much* faster than the Pi 4.? Large complies like wsjt-x, fldigi, and flrig are tremendously speedier.? But the Pi 5 runs hot.? If you use the official Raspberry 5 case with just a small heatsink glued to the CPU and a modest fan in the case, you will crash your Pi 5 if you try something like "make -j4."? I've had much better success with the official Raspberry Pi Active Cooler.? Even large compiles do not overheat the Pi 5 with one of these attached.? There's a cottage industry of Raspberry Pi 5 cases and heatsinks, so there's lots of cooling solutions available.? I'm hoping they come out with a Raspberry Pi 5 in the same form factor as the Raspberry Pi 400 where the Pi is mounted to a large heatsink inside a keyboard for a nice form factor.

Subject:?[linuxham] #fldigi #flrig Connecting log server - a quirk?
?
My situation: I have my logging app working as a log server to fldigi. I am connecting both the logger and fldigi to flrig.

If I close either the logger or fldigi and restart it, it can no longer connect to the other. Even if I close both the logger and fldigi the logger is unable to bind to the HTTP port and so there is nothing for fldigi to connect to. Unless, I've also closed down flrig as well.

The other thing is that in that situation, I also cannot bind to the UDP port I try to open up to allow WSJT-X to connect to my logger as a server.

This may have started happening when I added the feature to start flrig and fldigi from my logger. I am using system("flrig --config_dir..... &") to launch flrig.

+ It DOES appear to be different if I've started flrig directly. Still need to close both the logger and fldigi and restart them. But I do not need to close flrig.

fldigi can perform both as an xmlrpc server and as a client (when operating with flrig).

kcat looks for the fldigi xmlrpc server and attaches without user intervention when the server is found.



In the kcat code:

void open_rig_xmlrpc()
{
??????? client = new XmlRpc::XmlRpcClient( "127.0.0.1", 7362 );
??????? // XmlRpc::setVerbosity(5);

??????? // Create a value suitable for the system.multicall method, which
??????? // accepts a single argument: an array of struct { methodName, params }
??????? // where methodName is a string and params is an array of method
??????? // arguments.? The params member is mandatory so we use a single-element
??????? // array containing nil.

??????? XmlRpcValue nil(XmlRpc::nil);
??????? status_query = new XmlRpcValue;
??????? const char* status_methods[] = {
??????????????? main_get_trx_state, main_get_frequency,
??????????????? rig_get_mode, rig_get_bandwidth
??????? };
??????? for (size_t i = 0; i < sizeof(status_methods)/sizeof(*status_methods); i++) {
??????????????? (*status_query)[0][i]["methodName"] = status_methods[i];
??????????????? (*status_query)[0][i]["params"][0] = nil;
??????? };
}

So - kcat does already have an xmlrpc server. Unadvertised and not configurable - but works pretty well. It listens on the port that fldigi uses by default (12345). I was getting confusing results because of running flrig concurrently, not knowing that it would interfere with kcat.?

So with kcat and fldigi on the screen, I can control frequency, mode, etc from either app, and fldigi can key the transmitter.?

Very nice. Thanks David for the hidden feature.?

Re: Add transceiver to flrig

 

I guess there's already some xmlrpc in kcat - I see that when I run kcat and fldigi together either one controls the frequency, and the debug log of kcat shows xmlrpc messages. It looses sync sometimes, so maybe not finished code. I'll see what I can figure out.


Re: Add transceiver to flrig

Probably easier to add an xmlrpc server to kcat.? I'll be back home tomorrow and will look at the difficulty.

BTW the change to the scanner in kcat was to allow 8 char start frequency input. The 6 char input limit made it impossible to change bands (for scanning).?

The equivalent of flrig but specifically written for the KC505DSP (mine is on a shelf in the garage).? All of the source code is there.? Might make it easier for you to do the flrig integration if you are really feeling energetic.
