ICOM IC-910H doppler control semi-functional with current hamlib

Open dl3jop opened this issue 1 year ago • 8 comments

Hey,

I've seen multiple issues, some closed, some still open, with conflicting issues regarding doppler control on the IC-910. I did some tests and wanted to share the current state (and if i find ideas how to fix it) :

Issue:

  • Doppler control with gpredict/hamlib/ic910 not working
  • only downlink is corrected, rigctld shows rejected command errors
  • if the VFO knob on the radio is turned, the frequency jumps back and forth a couple of kHz
  • disengages after some seconds

Steps to reproduce:

  • rigctld Hamlib 4.6~git 2024-08-19T14:01:05Z SHA=137231 64-bit
  • gpredict 2.2.1
  • radio setup as per https://github.com/csete/gpredict/blob/master/doc/notes/ic-910.txt: grafik
  • rigctld commands:
    • rigctld -m 3044 --serial-speed=19200 -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -vvvvv
    • adding --vfo has no apparent effect
    • adding --twiddle_timeout=2s decreases the frequency jumps a little but sometimes jumps still occur
  • IC-910 in satellite mode
  • Result:
    • gpredict sets inital downlink frequency, and tracks it for some seconds, than disengages

The rigctld log is spammed with rejected commands: https://pastebin.com/asNU0FjC The logs show errors when addressing VFO_A/B but in this mode I think it should be Main/Sub?

I also tried this branch with no success

Did anyone get it to work lately? All the best, Joshua

Hopefully you are building you own Hamlib. Replace the ic910.c file with the attached and see if it behaves better.

Hey Michael, thanks for coming back so quickly, I compiled it with your version with the new backend but the error still persists:

Using --vfo the rigctl gets unresponsive trying to retreive the VFO: Backend version: 20240831.2, Status: Stable main: Using IPV4 main: rigctld listening on port 4532 Connection opened from 127.0.0.1:60392 mutex_rigctld: client lock engaged mutex_rigctld: client lock disengaged mutex_rigctld: client lock engaged mutex_rigctld: client lock disengaged handle_socket: doing rigctl_parse vfo_mode=1, secure=0 rigctl_parse: called, interactive=1 rigctl_parse: cmd=S(53) handle=9 rig_parse_vfo called

Discarding the --vfo flag yields the Command rejected by the rig errors as in the logs above

--vfo is the only way to run Icom rigs with gpredict -- without the vfos can swap like crazy. Can you send me a debug log with the --vfo please?

Ah, thanks for the information about the --vfo flag.

Using the master branch it freezes on the same position: https://pastebin.com/dxfw3zPZ

Using the hamlib_VFO branch, it tracks and corrects downlink but the uplink is unchanged and not written to the radio. When spinning the radios VFO dial it crashes after some seconds: vfo_branch.log

dl3jop avatar Sep 18 '24 20:09 dl3jop

I assume you are compiling yourself?

Can you try the latest git version of hamlib?
