These configuration files work on the current version of Ubuntu Linux. I make no promises that they will work in the future or on any other version. If you find on obvious error, or find a better way to do something, please let me know. I do allow comments on the site but they are moderated and require a user login. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first thing I had to do was to make sure both the USB names for the radio and the Alsa sound device names were a constant. So, first the usb-dev in \/etc\/udev\/rules.d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\/etc\/udev\/rules.d\/50-usb-serial.rules<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUBSYSTEM==”tty”, ATTRS{idVendor}==”0403″, ATTRS{idProduct}==”6015″, SYMLINK+=”FT-840-CAT”
SUBSYSTEM==”tty”, ATTRS{idVendor}==”0403″, ATTRS{idProduct}==”6001″, SYMLINK+=”FT-818-CAT”
SUBSYSTEM==”tty”, ATTRS{idVendor}==”067b”, ATTRS{idProduct}==”23a3″, SYMLINK+=”FT-150″
SUBSYSTEM==”tty”, KERNELS==”3-2.1:1.0″, SYMLINK+=”FT-710-CAT-1″
SUBSYSTEM==”tty”, KERNELS==”3-2.1:1.1″, SYMLINK+=”FT-710-CAT-2″
SUBSYSTEM==”tty”, ATTRS{idVendor}==”051d”, ATTRS{idProduct}==”0002″, SYMLINK+=”UPS-APC1350″<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then the Alsa sound file name, again in \/etc\/udev\/rules.d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\/etc\/udev\/rules.d\/99-my-audio-names.rules\n\nSUBSYSTEM==\"sound\", KERNELS==\"pci-0000:05:00.4-usb-0:1.3:1.0\", ATTR{id}=\"HF_SL\"\nSUBSYSTEM==\"sound\", ATTRS{idVendor}==\"0d8c\", ATTRS{idProduct}==\"0013\", ATTR{id}=\"FT710\"<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nThen we have to start rigctld with the rigctld-710.service file in \/usr\/lib\/systemd\/system\/rigctld-710.service<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\/usr\/lib\/systemd\/system\/rigctld-710.service\n\n[Unit]\nDescription=rigctld Hamradio rig controler ft818\nAfter=syslog.target network.target\n[Service]\nType=simple\n#ExecStart=\/usr\/local\/bin\/rigctld -m 1049 -r \/dev\/ttyUSB4 -t 4534 -s 38400\nExecStart=\/usr\/bin\/rigctld -m 1049 -r \/dev\/FT-710-CAT-1 -t 4532 -s 38400 --set-conf=data_bits=8,stop_bits=1,serial_parity=None,serial_handshake=None\n -D NONE -vvv\nExecReload=\/bin\/kill -HUP $MAINPID\nRestartSec=60\nRestart=always\nUser=root\nGroup=root\n[Install]\nWantedBy=multi-user.target<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nMake sure you enable that with systemctl enable rigctld-710.service and then start it with service rigctld-710 start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, we have to start direwolf, but the the configuration file that works for me is in \/etc\/direwolf.conf <\/p>\n\n\n\n
