G2 PiHPSDR NOTICE

Hello fellow G2ers.

Christoph / DL1YCF, who has been actively maintaining and enhancing John's / G0ORX
wonderful program PiHPSDR, has merged in all of my Saturn PiHPSDR code to his repo.

Please follow the procedure below to update your git repo to point to his.
Also, please direct general PiHPSDR issues to him when using his repo.
I don't think he monitors this forum often so you may try him at DL1YCF@darc.de

If the issue is Saturn PiHPSDR related, please let me know. I monitor this forum very often
or n1gp@hotmail.com

NOTE: The github repository URL for G2 PiHPSDR has been changed from
https://github.com/n1gp/pihpsdr 
To 
https://github.com/dl1ycf/pihpsdr 
 
To see which URL yours is pointing to: 
1. Open a command window 
2. Type cd github/pihpsdr
3. Type git remote -v

If your URL is https://github.com/n1gp/pihpsdr you will need to change it. 

To change it (which only needs to be done once): 
4. You should still be in directory: github/pihpsdr 
5. Type make clean
6. Type git checkout master
7. Type git remote set-url origin https://github.com/dl1ycf/pihpsdr.git
8. Type git pull --rebase
9. Type git checkout RELEASE-2.2-DL1YCF

Then
10. Type make -j5

If you are asked for your name and email:

Type git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
Type git config --global user.name "Your Name"


You should check out the excellent PiHPSDR manual Christoph has written which
is also in his repo:

When I tried to change the repo, I had an issue, it asked me for my username and then password. After I entered in a password (which I didn't believe I had to do before), it displayed there was an error... but also said passwords were no longer used...? Tried again, and it still wanted a password! Confusing...

I received a file (pihpsdr-2.2-DL1YCF.tar), unpacked it, but don't know how to handle the contents (12 files total).

I was able to get the repository url changed and the pihpsdr software updated using your instructions.

No error messages or prompts for username / password so I can't comment on how to proceed in those circumstances.

I am using a G2 w/front panel.

Thank You Rick and Christoph

73,

Got your software down loaded and the receive audio sounds great. I have the G2 with the display and knobs. The knobs are not working so I am using the sliders with my mouse. Is there a setting I need to change to make the knobs work?
Thanks for all you work.

Got the knobs working. I found the setup and had to put the radio IP in the box. Works great.
Tnx, 73 Jim K6JR

I have a G2 black face. Although pihpsdr is a step in my firmware update process... (see here)

cd ~/github/Saturn/sw_projects/P2_app
make clean
cd ~/github/Saturn/sw_projects/audiotest
make clean

cd ~/github/Saturn
git pull
cd sw_projects/P2_app
make
cd ../audiotest
make

cd ~/github/pihpsdr
make clean
git pull
make


I use THETIS as my interface software to the G2.
Therefore, should I (we with black face G2's) carry on as normal with our firmware updates
OR
need we update our GitHub repository as you describe in the first post?

Again, I have to my knowledge never run pihpsdr.

Not sure if it is used in the background?

thanks Art W1SWL

it is not needed in the background. You can skip those steps if you don't run piHPSDR.
