G2 Ultra no control panel found on terminal window

Postby ULTIMAX » Tue Feb 25, 2025 12:30 pm

I got a G2 ULTRA which I got few days ago only and I put it on the desk and turn it on , waited a second, I notice before I started that the G2 MK2 panel was chosen at the tab, also notice al protocols were check in , close it and press start, it turn on and after that I try checking any of the control panels buttons and VFO and it don't do anything , I when after that using a post on the Forum ,and did a check using the terminal window with:

cd ~/github/Saturn/sw_projects/P2_app
./p2app -p

And after it populated it states that it search for G2 MK1 and G2MK2 and below no front panel controller found

Any ideas how to fix this

p2app does a search for either the V1 front panel (looking for an I2C interface device) or the V2 front panel (looking for a response from the serial port). I'm guessing it didn't get a response. The most likely reason is, it didn't find the serial device.

Can you look in the /dev/serial/by-id folder and tell me if you see a device called g2-front-9600. If so, the "rules" file we now use to name the device have been followed. If not there, it might mean the factory didn't install the rules file.

If you don't find that device please try:

cd ~/github/Saturn/rules
sudo ./install-rules.sh

then re-check that folder
