I am having trouble getting CAT control working on Linux. Maybe somebody can help me. TIA.
My setup is RRC1258 Elecraft Twin bundle and K3/0 mini on the control side.
I am running Ubuntu 14.04 and CQRLOG (it does TRX control with hamlib rigctld) on a hacked chromebook.
I am able to get CAT working when using COM1 (set in mode 7 on the control box) connected with a null-modem cable via an FTDI USB adapter, I then can talk to /dev/ttyUSB0 without problems.
Once I connect the control box via the built-in mini USB, I am getting four ports /dev/ttyACM0 to ttyACM3. I enable usb for COM1 on the control box, but getting this from the hamlib:
kindsvaters@3peppy:~$ rigctld -vvvv -m 229 -r /dev/ttyACM0 -s 38400 -T 127.0.0.1 -t 4532 &
[1] 3016
rigctld, Hamlib 1.2.15.3
