[chirp_devel] [PATCH] [RFC] Dynamic driver registration
by Dan Smith 17 Feb '12

17 Feb '12

# HG changeset patch # User Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com> # Date 1329428169 28800 # Node ID cfbdca8031730005d3c61613bdce6b1798d4872d # Parent 0786ddcd02c395ffcfc3a99f9605ffa87102ebd8 [RFC] Dynamic driver registration This patch gets rid of the big silly static definition of the driver directory and replaces it with one that is populated dynamically. When multiple people are working on a driver, it's often the case that patches will conflict because they both made edits to the directory listing. Further, it makes it harder to add/remove a module during development because you have to edit the directory. This patch introduces a "register" decorator in the directory module. Any driver claiming to implement a radio driver can decorate that class and have it automatically included in the directory. Thus, simply placing mydriver.py in the chirp module folder will cause it to be included. Two example radios (Yaesu FT-7800 and Icom IC-2200) are implemented here for demonstration. I've been wanting to do this for a looooong time. Thoughts?

[chirp_devel] [PATCH 0 of 7] Prototype of advanced bank model
by Dan Smith 13 Feb '12

13 Feb '12

Hi all, For a long time, CHIRP has had a very naive internal model for dealing with banks of memories. This was developed at a time when CHIRP only handled Icom radios, and thus it assumed each memory could only be in one bank at a time. Yaesu radios have a one-to-many bank system, where memories can be in multiple banks at a time. This patch set: 1. Creates a new bank model system 2. Demonstrates support with two icom radios (with slightly different bank mechanisms) and one yaesu radio 3. Adds UI elements to allow setting bank memberships This only works for the three radios included right now, but I will finish the support for the rest of the radios that currently have bank support soon. Following that, I will add bank support to the radios that Jon's patches includes. I'm sending these to the list in case anyone is interested or has comments about how this may or may not enable bank support for hopefully any type of radio out there. Thanks! -Dan KK7DS

[chirp_devel] VX2r
by Andrew Errington 12 Feb '12

12 Feb '12

Hi all, I can not report success, but I will detail what I have done so far. After reading, perhaps you can tell me what I am doing wrong. I have modified an FTDI FT232R based USB serial interface dongle by removing the RS232 level shifter, connecting the VCCIO line to 3.3V (instead of 5V) and connecting to the FTDI chip's Tx and Rx lines directly. These are wired to a 3-pin (stereo) 3.5mm socket. Tip is data in to the PC, ring is data out from PC, sleeve is ground. I also made an adapter for the 4-pin 3.5mm plug on the VX2r. Tip is N/C, 1st ring (data/clone) is connected to Tx *and* Rx above, 2nd ring (mic+ptt) is N/C, sleeve is ground. The dongle still works, and when I plug it in it is assigned to /dev/ttyUSB0 When I plug the adaptor in (but not the radio) then I have basically made a loopback device, and I can use gtkterm to view echoes of every character I type. I have modified chirp and copied the VX7 module to make a VX2r module. I can run chirp (in Linux) and select VX2r and the /dev/ttyUSB0 port. When I plug the radio in I press FW whilst turning it on. The display says 'CLONE'. Next, I press BAND, because I want to Tx from the radio to the PC. The radio display says 'TX'. Nothing happens in chirp (I guess I am supposed to see an animated progress bar) and the radio eventually times out and shows 'ERROR' on its display. Please point out my obvious mistakes and I will try again. :) 73, Andrew ZL3AME

Re: [chirp_devel] Yaesu FT-897D support
by Dan Smith 08 Feb '12

08 Feb '12

Hi Emil, > I have an FT-897D and would be happy to do some testing should there be > a need. We just pushed the FT-857 support into the tree, and it will be in tomorrow's daily build. Could you attempt to use the 857 driver to download an image from your 897? If it works, it should grab all the data from the radio, but then chirp will complain once completed. However, if you ignore the errors and go to File->Save As, you should be able to save out the memory map as a .img file. If that works, could you send it to us for analysis? Did you get subscribed to the development list? Thanks! -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

Hi Marco, Might this link be of interest to you as you move on to the FT-897? Looks like he's already happy with your work on the FT-817 :) Thanks! --Dan -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Yaesu FT-897D support Date: Sun, 5 Feb 2012 23:42:07 -0800 From: Emil Sarlija <vk3naf(a)gmail.com> Reply-To: Emil Sarlija <vk3naf(a)gmail.com> To: undisclosed-recipients:; * Project: CHIRP <http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp> Hi Dan, I found a site that may be useful should you be considering including support for the FT-897D: http://www.webalice.it/famiglia.pagni/default.html All the important stuff is under the "Yaesu FT-897D Internals" link. I have an FT-897D and would be happy to do some testing should there be a need. I also have an Icom IC-746 so should there be experimental support for that I'd be happy to do testing as well. Many thanks, Emil - VK3NAF PS - I've been using the latest daily build under LinuxMint and it works wonderfully with my Yaesu VX-3R and FT-817ND. Excellent work! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This email has been sent using contact form on website: http://chirp.danplanet.com

[chirp_devel] All-in-one patch
by Dan Smith 06 Feb '12

06 Feb '12

Hi Kurt, Sorry for the delay on getting this to you. Attached is the entire set of changes Marco has made in a single patch. This should apply on top of the current tree and add all of the fixes he has. If you could test and let us know, we'd appreciate it. If you do get a successful download, please send me your .img file so I can take a look at it as well. Thanks! -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

[chirp_devel] FYI for Wouxun KG-UV6D 199 memory channel radio
by Robert Terzi 05 Feb '12

05 Feb '12

FYI, for the maintainer of the wouxun driver. David Behar has done the work to map out the memory format as well as the .tw file format for the newer version of the Wouxun KG-UV6D radio. This is a newer version with 199 memory channels and 2.5 khz spacing. Note: the memory format and software between the earlier 128 memory channel HT's (KG-UV1,2,3) and the 199 memory channel is similar but incompatible. There have been reports of people running into problems (including possibly bricking radios) by using incompatible versions including .tw files from a different version of the radio. The wouxun settings including the band limits seem to be in range of the writable memory area without much protection. It sounds like using the wrong version will unintentionally overwrite those settings with garbage (channel data). I've read that writing band limits outside the range the radio is capable of will cause the PLL to fail to lock and the microcontroller will then hang waiting. Note: it may be worth mentioning on the chirp pages that the KG-UV(D)[123][PD] driver is not compatible with the kg-uv6d. I don't know if the UV6D radio sends a different identification or has any reliable way of telling the difference. I don't have one. I'm just sharing what I've seen on other mailing lists as an fyi. Hope this helps, --Rob -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [KG-UV_Commander] Re: KG-UV Commander for KG-UV6D? Date: Sat, 4 Feb 2012 01:45:33 -0800 From: David A. Behar To: <KG-UV_Commander(a)yahoogroups.com> I've passed on to Jim a draft memory map of the radio's memory space and of the KG-UV6D TW file format.

[chirp_devel] [PATCH 0 of 4] Make ft857 survive to run_tests
by IZ3GME Marco 03 Feb '12

03 Feb '12

The following patches has to be applied on top of 857 ones I sent, here is also included the merge with Dan's changes in the repository. After all this ft857 can pass the run_test. 73 de IZ3GME Marco P.s. Hope all this work as this is my first try sending patch directly via email ...
