Hi Tony,

I have since updated my code to use unsigned 32 bit integers so I am definitely
sending the FCD positive frequencies now. However, it does not appear to be
working properly and I can't see my error. If I send 4 bytes, whatever they are,
in a frequency set command, I would expect to get these same 4 bytes back on a
frequency read command, but I don't when the bytes represent > 2147MHz.

I am not sure RSSI is sensitive or linear enough for an analyser, we will have
to wait and see. There is an alternative. If you use Spectravue, set it to
somewhere away from the DC spike and limit the bandwidth and then select
continuum mode. This will give you a total power in band measurement. If you
sweep you have your spectrum analyser. The only problem is the two programs
don't talk to each other. I am sure there are other programs out there that will
do this using extIO. If not why not write one! I would like to get it going with
GNU Radio and I see experts are working on that.

The source is OK but it is not going to make any sense unless you have C++
builder. Also the HID classes will not transfer well. I was thinking of porting
it to QT but time and stupidity prevent my doing it.

Like wise Howards' code, which is much better written, is specific to MS Visual
C++ and also, like mine, uses the MS HID functions.

Howard kindly sent me some new test firmware - my FCD gives up at around
2203MHz. This is considerably beyond specification. I doubt it will go high
enough for 13cms - which is at the moment, wide open to Scandanavia from here.

Hi folks,

I'm Phil, one of the FUNcube development team and a long time coding addict :)

I've just offered up to try and get a Java API working, based on the control
layer in qthid (fcd.c/hidapi[/libusb]). It looks like the right place for me to
start is with a git repo cloned from Alex Csete, unless anyone else has a 'more
official' repository :)

Wish me luck with JNI and libusb ugliness...

Subject: Qthid updates

turbogrga

Greetings,

Few days ago I tagged and packaged v2.2 of the Qthid cross platform controller application for the Funcube Dongle.
This version is functionally identical to v2.1 the changes being mostly of cosmetic nature.

Changes in version 2.2:

Use native toolbar and status bar on Mac OS X
New application icon based on SVG drawing
Correctly set application and bundle icon on Mac OS X and Windows
Minor UI tweaks.
Fix qthid.pro to allow correct build on Ubuntu 9.04 (thanks EA4FVS).
Correct application name in file headers (thanks Andrew Elwell)

The source code and pre-compiled binaries for Mac OS X and Linux (32 and 64 bit) are available from the Github repository:

qthid-2.2 source package (requires Qt SDK to build)
qthid-2.2 32 bit Linux binary (requires Qt 4.7 to be installed)
qthid-2.2 64 bit Linux binary (requires Qt 4.7 to be installed)
qthid-2.2 Mac OS X bundle (includes Qt 4.7)

See the README.txt included in the packages for how use and compile the source code.

Work continues in the meantime towards implementing controls for the full API. Mario DL5MLO has already ported the code from the windows application to qthid. This work is now being integrated and tested in the "next" branch: https://github.com/csete/qthid/tree/next � I think we can have a fully functional qthid FCD controller in week or so :-)

Hi Phil,

As far as I know that is the most up to date and publicly available code.
Please note the I will change the API over the next few days to make the coding and naming style consistent across the whole application. Currently it is a mixture of at least two styles which can be rather confusing to read.

Wish me luck with JNI and libusb ugliness...

I wish you luck, although the libusb ugliness is hidden behind the hidapi wrapper :)

Well done.

My original windows code was based on the QT code.

I found there is a problem in the HID library. It opens but does not close file
handles. You should check this is no longer the case or after a while the PC
will run out of handles.

I am no longer using the QT code - which is one reason I can't port my code to
Linux or MAC.

Hello Alex;

Thanks have downloaded the Linux tarball (source and binary) and it runs fine on
Ubuntu 64 bit without the errors of the original version.

Now I just need a decent Linux SDR application, and the full control

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the feedback. Work is ongoing on the full functionality and thanks to Mario DL5MLO it will be available very soon. I would however like to point out that most settings have very little, if any, practical use. The LNA gain is probably useful as is the RF filter setting, but everything else is probably best if left untouched. Using the default settings I have been successful in receiving cubesats using nothing but an Arrow II antenna connected directly to the FCD. These cubesats transmit with 80-100mW CW. I have recorded these reception and they are available here: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A5FE5E811C57CF77

Concerning SDR application, I have been using Quisk SDR by Jim N2ADR: http://james.ahlstrom.name/quisk/
This is what I used in the recordings as well.
I like it very much because it "works as is" using the default audio input and it does not require hours/days/weeks of messing with jack audio etc. Simply download, unpack, type make and it is ready to go. A custom quisk configuration file for the FCD is available here: https://gist.github.com/838939
I have also made some modifications to the main program to cure the funky colors and make it follow the desktop theme. These are available here: https://gist.github.com/838950

I was lucky enough to get a device out of the 'last sunday batch' and should be able to implement support for it to my 'soon to be released OSX SDR application which still doesn't have a name' :)

Hello everyone from Pino, i have question on the funcube
I  experimental put an antenna duplexer with 144/430 to limit contamination (fm
broadcast), this is similar to a tuned circuit in a band 144, but I have not had
great advantages in the band reception only 144.Solo strong stations you can not
hear.
I made a connection with two coils to limit the noise but it is not 'no good.
Fcd by changing the settings in expert mode I can improve but not so much
receiving.

Wrplus use to get to 999,999 but how can I stop getting into such frequecy 1.2

Can you imagine... we can almost follow a schedule...

The fully functional qthid controller is now almost ready. In fact, there are only a few very minor things I need to add, so those who wish and can build the code themselves are welcome to check it out from https://github.com/csete/qthid (use the default "master" branch). I believe it provides all the functionality of the "fully functional windows controller".

I'll be back in a few days with formal release and binary packages.

turbogrga

Greetings,

Qthid 3.0 � the Qt-based controller application for the Funcube Dongle � has been released. This release includes support for the full control API available with the 18f firmware for the Funcube Dongle. This should cover all the functionality provided by the "fully functional windows frontend". You can see a screenshot here: http://flic.kr/p/9pqY67

Changes in version 3.0:

Implement full API in firmware 18f (thanks to Mario Lorenz, DL5MLO).
Requires firmware 18f or later (FCD with earlier firmwares are not detected).
Added auto-repeat to tuning buttons (click and hold the button to scan).
Added new RF chain diagram.
Show firmware version in status message.
Remember the location of the last used firmware.

The source code and pre-compiled binaries for Mac OS X and Linux (32 and 64 bit) are available from my Github repository:

qthid-3.0 source package (requires Qt SDK to build)
qthid-3.0 32 bit Linux binary (requires Qt 4.7 to be installed)
qthid-3.0 64 bit Linux binary (requires Qt 4.7 to be installed)
qthid-3.0 Mac OS X bundle (includes Qt 4.7)

See the README.txt included in the packages for how use and compile the source code.

Have a nice weekend!

Indeed, it sounds like it's caused by my changes with the application icon.
Try to change qthid.rc to use "images/qthid.ico"

If that doesn't help you can try to comment out the "RC_FILE = qthid.rc" line in qthid.pro

I had just figured that out.... I then had a problem with the symbian libs - so
I am re-installing QT. I installed QT Creator first, then realised I needed and
installed the full SDK which is not in the QTCreator download. I thought that
was probably the wrong order as I ended up with two copies of QT creator. I also
realised I probably should have done this as administrator. It takes about 10
minutes to do this and it did not fix the problem.

mandrakulos

Dear all,

after a long discussion at the Funcube Group regarding my RX problem ( I
couldn't receive any signal at any mode ) I was advised to join this group,
download and run FCD checker tool and post the results.


The results are below and I am waiting your comments.

Set Frequency, FCD Frequency, PLL Status
50100000, 50094688,Unlocked
until 51594524 all frequencies are marked as unlocked.
From that point till the end of the test all frequencies are LOCKED.

Could you please advise.

Thank you in advance for the help.

I have it compiling and running on Windows XP Pro although with errors in
the build.

Haven't tested all the functions yet but looks promising.

Trouble is I'm not very good at this Qt stuff. :-(

Commenting out the line
�� RC_FILE = qthid.rc
fixes that particular problem for sure.� I just tried it, but now i need some windows SDK to complete the build...

Hi David,

Thanks for the info.
If you have it running then there were no errors during build because all build errors are (or at least should be) fatal.

Hi Alex

OK, should have said Build Issues :-)

Anyway have copied below where I'm at now.  As I said complete novice at Qt.

The Load & Save FCD, IQ and Firmware icons at top left of window are all
greyed at present, don't know why.

Everything else appears to be working fine.

Ok looks like the PLL Status is ok. I'm out of ideas- may be worth contacting
Howard for a replacement-explaing all that has been tried and your still having
RX issues.

This is the problem:

win32:LIBS += C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft
SDKs\\Windows\\v6.0A\\Lib\\setupapi.lib"

That kine is making an invalid assumption I have these SDKs installed and their
location.

hidwin requires this library. Therefore the SDK has to be installed and that is
a big task.

Hi Alex

Are the "Load" & "Save" FCD settings and the "Tools" supposed to work?

I can't see any function behind them?

All the settings are responding as expected and the FCD can be switched
between Application and Bootloader mode.

Looks good. :-)
