All, OK, I am trying to start on the IC-V80 driver: - Devl env OK on my 32 bit PC - Created a driver "icv80.py" by renaming the one for the IC-T70. That is their identical HT but dual band, so is presumably close - Did a download and saw the mode string 0x32 0x54 0x00 0x01. Changed _model to match and HT seems to now be recognized - Increased _memsize greatly and ran a new download. Where is the debug log that you speak of? I have no familiarity with this lang or env. So I have error messages of course, but nothing that shows a last address. Should this be in the command prompt window that I used to initiate the program? That is where I get error messages. Or is there some debug log somewhere else in Python? I'm familiar with using *nix, but never developed in it. 73, Drew K3PA ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Drew, > I?d like to help by working on a driver for my IC-V80 HT. How to start? What platform are you on? Windows? If so, get started with these instructions: http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/DevelopersWin32Environment Once you're able to run chirp directly from the source tree, you can start work on a driver. Take a look at the template driver for a start, which is in chirp/template.py. Also look at some of the other Icom drivers, since they share a lot (like all of the clone code). You may want to start by taking something similar and simple, like the ict8.py file as a starting point. Copy that to icv8.py and change the names within the file. Simply doing that will cause the new model to show up in the download box. Here is the rough set of steps after that: 1. Figure out what the model identifier for that radio is. This can be done by trying to download it and watching the debug log to see what it finds from the radio. Change the _model in your driver to match. 2. Figure out what the size of the device's memory is. Do this by setting the memsize in your driver to something large and trigger a download. The debug log will tell you what the last address was before the radio stopped sending. 3. Capture the "end frame" from the end of the clone process in the debug log during step 2, and adjust in your driver appropriately. 4. Now you should be able to get a clean download from the radio. Save that to a .img file and start examining it in a hex editor. Depending on how the radio is designed, this may be obvious, or it may require doing a series of changes on the radio, followed by a download, followed by looking at the hex dumps. You'll be modifying the MEM_FORMAT structure definition in your driver file to tell it where and how the memories are laid out. Once you get to step 4, we may be able to help you spot some common Icom-isms to get you started. Make sense? -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

[chirp_devel] Need Advice for UV-5R Driver
by Jim Unroe 05 Jan '13

05 Jan '13

All, I want to use a section of code something like this. This already works, but is there a better way to do it? What it need to do is allow the user to see and edit a VHF or UHF frequency within the allowable frequency range. It would be nice if it could be displayed and edited similar to a cell in the spreadsheet view. _vfoa = self._memobj.vfoa.freqa rs = RadioSetting("vfoa.freqa", "VFO A Frequency", RadioSettingValueInteger(0, 9, _vfoa[0]), RadioSettingValueInteger(0, 9, _vfoa[1]), RadioSettingValueInteger(0, 9, _vfoa[2]), RadioSettingValueInteger(0, 9, _vfoa[3]), RadioSettingValueInteger(0, 9, _vfoa[4]), RadioSettingValueInteger(0, 9, _vfoa[5]), RadioSettingValueInteger(0, 9, _vfoa[6]), RadioSettingValueInteger(0, 9, _vfoa[7])) workmode.append(rs) I also want to limit '_vfoa[0]' to a list of 1, 4 and 5. Any suggestions on how to do that? Also, I would want to set another variable, lets call it 'vfoaband', to 0 [meaning VHF] if '_vfoa[0]' = 0 and 1 [meaning UHF] if '_vfoa[0]' = 4 or 5. Thanks in advance, Jim Unroe

[chirp_devel] ID-31A Loses part of label
by Drew Vonada-Smith 05 Jan '13

Team, I just bought an ID-31A and found that Chirp loses the first 4 letters of the label upon download from HT. Icom's CS31 sees the label OK. Anyone seen this? Ideas, or file as a bug? 73, Drew K3PA
