Application crashes with Arduino CAT Controller for HPSDR

[Ujjwaana]

1. Have the basic HPSDR CAT controller by N6LYT https://www.tapr.org/pdf/DCC2015-ArduinoCAT-Controller4HPSDR-G0ORX-1.pdf https://github.com/TAPR/OpenHPSDR-SVN/tree/master/N6LYT/Arduino/hpsdr_basic_controller
2. Connect the Arduino Nano with the Rotary controller to Raspberry Pi through USB. You can see the Arduino emulated as /dev/ttyUSB0 and CAT commands like ZZSA;ZZSA ..... ZZSB;ZZSB appear on Serial monitor
3. Now launch Pihpsdr and Click Menu->RigCtl->Check CAT over Serial -> Select ttyUSB0 for device and baud rate as 9600
4. Now move the Rotary encoder. After few rotation , Pihpsdr will crash

I am attaching the Console log with all Debug flags in Pihpsdr enable during compile and the core dump (.BZ2 Zipped for the sake of Github letting the file to upload)

I have pushed an update (v2.0.0-rc10) with a rewrite of the rigctl (CAT) code. It is still a work in progress, but a major number of the CAT commands are implemented. More testing is in progress but the basic code is working OK. Let me know if there are any problems.

Hello, tested it with fldigi (4.1.12): Frequency change is ok in both directions. changing the mode from fldigi has some problems: e.g. USB is ok, LSB is ok, CW changes to DSB, CWR changes to AM, FM changes to CWL

tested with WSJT-X (V2.1.2): if I change the band sometimes piHPSDR freezes and WSJT-X stops with 'Rig Control Error'. Not every time. In debug mode the last commands see attacched file.

This should be resolved now. It is a hamlib issue (too small timeout). In Hamlib, this is now increased considerably.
