cat control --- VSP #914

Open DANKC2STA opened 2 years ago

DANKC2STA commented 2 years ago

OS Ubuntu 18.04, CubicSDR-2.5Appimage, WSJTX 2.1.0 . SDR Airspy HF+

I am trying to get rig control from WSJTX to Cusbic SDR. So i need to create a VSP pair.

I have tried socat, which creates the pair, but they are in dev/pts , not dev/ as other serial ports are.

$ socat -d -d pty,raw,echo=0 pty,raw,echo=0 2021/09/03 14:14:23 socat[25506] N PTY is /dev/pts/1 2021/09/03 14:14:23 socat[25506] N PTY is /dev/pts/2 2021/09/03 14:14:23 socat[25506] N starting data transfer loop with FDs [5,5] and [7,7]

In WSJTX, I can type in the dev/pts port in the port pull-down.

CubicSDR says I can also type in the dev/pts port, I have been unable to do so, no character entry or deletion is allowed,

How do I enter the port?

Any help is appreciated

Thanks Dan KC2STA

Found out the Appimage version does not support this, but installed version 2.6a does. Now if I could figure out how to connect to WSJTX. DAN
