Yardstick One amplifier not working #59

Closed nobody656 closed 1 year ago

nobody656 commented 5 years ago

Hello,how can i enable Yardstick One power amplifiers....when i use d.setMaxPower() it just set power of cc1111...and when i set d.setAmpMode(1) i dont see any change in signal power...thanks for help

atlas0fd00m commented 5 years ago

the power amps are enabled by default in the YS1 firmware. as you indicated, d.setMaxPower() only configures in the CC1111 hardware. can you force different output levels between d.setAmpMode(x) where x changes?

if you cannot identify a difference, perhaps @dominicgs and @michaelossmann can shed some light. mike wrote the firmware/client changes for the amplifiers.

Sorry for the massive necro but this ticket is still open, I've just tested the latest rfcat release (on windows 10 x64, python 3.9) and it seems that setting d.setAmp(n) does in fact work, where n=0 or any even number the amp is off, where n=1 or any odd number the amp is on and evident in the SDR waterfall.

thank you for the follow-up @pickeditmate . @nobody656 , were you still having any issues? i believe what you may have been seeing is the fact that the power amp is automatically enabled on the YS1.
