[chirp_devel] New Developer Documentation
by Dan Smith 24 Dec '12

24 Dec '12

Hi all, We've got (at least) a couple new folks joining who are looking to help out. They're going to have questions about the process for doing things, and I figure it's about time to codify some of that for easy access. I have added a general "process" overview, as well as instructions on how to get a Win32 development environment set up to the top-level developers page: http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Developers Comments and suggestions are very much welcomed from veterans as well as new folks trying to follow them. If they're not helpful or confusing (or I left something out) please speak up! Thoughts? -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

Re: [chirp_devel] Mods for the UV-5R

Since this is new-plans stuff, I'm going to drag you over to the devel mailing list. Let's continue the discussion there. > Unfortunately Baofeng didn't just tack new settings on the end.

I can easily change it by > adding the 2 additional selections, but I'm afraid someone selecting > 20.0K on an older firmware will actually get 25.0K. I would need help > knowing how to make two lists and then selecting the correct one based > on the firmware version being used. Right, so there's a method on the driver called "_is_orig()" that will return True if it is the "original" style of firmware, or False if it's the newer kind. So, you can do something like this: tuning_steps = list(STEP_LIST) # Make a copy of the main list if not self._is_orig(): tuning_steps.insert(5, 20.0) # Insert 20.0 at index 5 tuning_steps.insert(...) Then just change the initialization of the setting to use the tuning_steps list instead of the global constant one. > I would like to add most of the rest of the settings that would go on > the Settings tabs. That should be fairly easy for me to do. I believe > that, with your excellent guidence, I have a good start on that. Yep, sounds like you've got a good handle on that part. > Then what I would like to do is tackle some of the 'per channel' > settings like Busy Channel Lockout, S-CODE, PTT-ID (if that is even > possible). Yep, that's good. Anything that the Memory class has in it should be supported that way (i.e. the Memory class in chirp_common.py). However, features not supported there can be added to the "extra" field in Memory. This field lets you stuff settings (just like you've been doing for the radio-wide settings) that are specific to a memory channel in there, which are exposed to the user via the Right-click->Edit dialog box. See the ft817.py driver for an example. Look in get_memory() and set_memory() for where mem.extra is manipulated. Thanks Jim! -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

[chirp_devel] Chirp support for Alinco DJ-G7E
by Luchezar Georgiev 21 Dec '12

21 Dec '12

Hello, I had few emails with Alinco and they send to me full programming info for Alinco DJ-G7E. My initial intentions was to write some piece of software to import repeater channels from my QTH to handheld from CVS file. Stock software is very instable, etc. Unfortunately I will be very busy next few months and have no time and experience to add this radio to chirp. So, if anyone wants to help I will share information with him, also I can provide remote acces to some machine, using Windows or Linux and radio connected via ERW-7 cable. Keep up the good work LZ1LGG

[chirp_devel] Extending the UV-5R Structure Definition
by Jim Unroe 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

Hi all, Over the last few weekends I have been mapping the various features and functions of the Baofeng UV-5R to CHIRP image files that were created by different firmware versions. After a short email exchange with Dan and after examining a some files that he suggested I look at, I think I might be able to assist with extending the UV-5R structure definition. Does anyone have any advice for me on how to get started? Thanks, Jim KC9HI

[chirp_devel] Memory Banks
by Rob Campbell 07 Dec '12

07 Dec '12

I have a couple questions about memory banks in chirp. I have a TYT TH-UVF9 radio with memories numbered like this: A1 A2 ... A127 A128 B1 B2 ... B127 B128 Would this be considered two indexed banks with a size of 128? The same radio also has FM Radio memories 1-25. Would that be a third indexed bank? My Wouxun KG-UV3D also has FM Radio memories. How would I go about adding support for that to the existing chirp driver? Thank you. -- Rob Campbell KG6HUM
