Hi Ken, I am basing the fact that it is possible to drive the SDR-1000 hardware from Linux on this post from Bob McGwier back in January.
"The Mini-ITX, running SUSE 9.3 carries Don Imus 660 AM every morning using SDR-1000 number 2 running jsdr, jack." I am trying to use the code in the pyhw2 directory to control the SDR-1000 hardware over the parallel port. I can issue commands and hear the relays click in the SDR-1000 but I have not been successful yet in receiving an AM radio station. There is also another command line interface- cmdr - in the DttSP package but I think that this interface controls just the software - not the hardware. One problem was that ubuntu on my system does not have /dev/parport0. With some help from Bill on teamspeak and my linux guy at work I learned that you can create the port with either: sudo modeprobe ppdev or sudo mknod /dev/parport0 c 99 0 I also did a sudo chown epalmer:epalmer parport0 so I could drive the parallel port from my user account. 73, Everett, KG6RYB At 10:22 PM 5/28/2006, you wrote: >How in the world are you controlling the parallel interface? >as far as I know, there aren't any SDR-1000s running on Linux. >BK de Ken > > >Everett Palmer wrote: >>I am trying to operate my SDR-1000 from Ubuntu Linux with the command >>line interface. >>Could some one tell me the commands listening to an AM radio station? >>Also do I need to use both the cmdr shell script and the pyhw2 python script? >>Thanks, >>Everett, KG6RYB >> >>_______________________________________________ >>FlexRadio mailing list >>FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz >>http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz >>Archive Link: http://mail.flex-radio.biz/pipermail/flexradio_flex-radio.biz/ >>FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://mail.flex-radio.biz/pipermail/flexradio_flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com
