linhpsdr cwx addition (plus other additons)

[Matthew]

Back in November last year I posted this https://groups.google.com/d/msg/hermes-lite/QEYSaA_GwVw/OE1c0Ss3AwAJ

Since then Steve has opened up cwx in gateware. I have been trying to add this to linhpsdr, after quite a bit of messing around and testing I think I have something that works:

https://github.com/m5evt/linhpsdr

What does this mean? By ticking the box "cwdaemon" in the main radio dialogue (only when an HL2 is detected for now) a port (6789) in linhpsdr opens and behaves like cwdaemon. This means logging software (e.g. tlf, cqrlog) can connect to linhpsdr and you can use macros or type on the keyboard from within the logging software. This opens up remote cw contesting/dxing with the HL2. I have done a lot of testing of this looking at transmitted waveforms on my scope. It seems to be working reliably up to 40 wpm. But this testing has been limited to my machine and audio settings. I strongly recommend you listen to the transmitted CW on a receiver before using it too much to check that CW notes are timed correctly (especially the first character of a CW transmission). Note, what you hear isn't the transmitted sidetone, it is a generated sidetone in libcw. Unfortunately for now, this is limited to pulseaudio for the CW sidetone. I will work on adding a key input via MIDI next.

Note, you will need to install unixcw from my fork to get this to work:
https://github.com/m5evt/unixcw

I have put cwdaemon functionality in an #ifdef so you can modify the makefile if you don't want to install unixcw and use cwdaemon.

There has been a lot of talk of jumpy/choppy transmit audio in linhpsdr. I found a fix for this here https://groups.google.com/d/msg/hermes-lite/SjzO6YE28EY/4AuGSbmoFAAJ. But I wasn't happy with this. Since Steve added tx buffer debugging, I was still seeing occasional tx buffer problems. The latest commit now has the transmit packets scheduled according to receive packets. This should make linhpsdr much more reliable for transmit audio. In particular for remote links. I have been doing some initial testing over remote links (more work to come on this). I am reasonably confident the gateware tx buffer sizes will work nicely over these remote links (in terms of jitter and latency I have been observing).

Other additions:

-LNA gain is now the HL2 extended gain, panadapter and s meter are adjusted for gain (AGC level adjustment remains on the todo list);
-Automatic waterfall now has blue (not black) as the minimum;
-Linhpsdr now correctly reads the discovery response and limits the number of possible receivers to what the HL2 tells it.

I welcome feedback from all linhpsdr users, even if you don't use CW. There are some reasonably big changes in this commit and I may have broken something you are using but I haven't tested. I would be particularly interested if anyone has a Hermes and how this works with this. I can add cwx for a Hermes if people request this.

I think someone recently said about linhpsdr not having a compressor. I have been thinking about this. Something could be added, but I don't think I could do anything remotely as good as something like this:

https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/06/install-pulse-effects-ubuntu-ppa

Do people use these sorts of external tools for SSB? To me this approach makes much more sense. I'm not sure I have a microphone anywhere to test such things!

As a small celebration for my work on this I was playing with JS8call recently. I used linhpsdr + my HL2 to send an SMS (via 40m) to a friends cellphone using JS8call. Quite novel!

Hi Matthew,

I am having trouble building unixcw on my LinuxMint 19.3 system. I get the following error

gvj@GVJ-Lap /opt/M5EVT/unixcw $ make
CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && aclocal-1.14
/bin/bash: aclocal-1.14: command not found
Makefile:372: recipe for target 'aclocal.m4' failed
make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 127

I have tried using autoconf to rebuild the configure file  but same problem.

[Steve Haynal]

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for all your work on linhpsdr. Your improvements sound really great. I shall attempt to reserve some time this week to try your latest. I have added your project to the software wiki page:

https://github.com/softerhardware/Hermes-Lite2/wiki/Software

We now have 5 SDR software projects that I know of which have some dedicated or special support for the Hermes-Lite! Feel free to add or update the wiki pages with more info on linhpsdr.

73,

Steve

Did you run ./configure before the make? If so, could you post the last 30 or so lines output from this?

Please ignore link to repo above. This is replaced by:

https://github.com/m5evt/unixcw-3.5.1

I updated the linhpsdr readme with the following to install:

  git clone https://github.com/m5evt/unixcw-3.5.1.git
  cd unixcw-3.5.1
  autoreconf -i
  ./configure
  make
  sudo make install

I have just tried this and it seems to work. For anyone who doesn't want to use CW, you can modify the Makefile to comment out the following (then you don't need to install unixcw per above):

#CWDAEMON_INCLUDE=CWDAEMON

#ifeq ($(CWDAEMON_INCLUDE),CWDAEMON)
#CWDAEMON_OPTIONS=-D CWDAEMON
#CWDAEMON_LIBS=-lcw
#CWDAEMON_SOURCES= \
#cwdaemon.c
#CWDAEMON_HEADERS= \
#cwdaemon.h
#CWDAEMON_OBJS= \
#cwdaemon.o
#endif

This confirmed my feeling a few weeks ago that an external library wasn't the best way to do this and I should have written the code ground up within linhpsdr! I may still do this in future.

Hi Matthew,
Looks like you are on an old distro.

configure is in the unixcw-3.5.1 directory so don't know why it complained. I suspect that trying to satisfy a number of distros is going to cause you a lot of frustration. Don't worry about trying to sort it out for me as I can puddle around with it myself and you never know I may get lucky.

Matthew, I had a clean compile but when I run linhpsdr I get:

"linhpsdr: error while loading shared libraries: libcw.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

The library is in fact in /usr/local/lib as a simlink to /usr/local/lib/libcw.so.6.6.1

I am on ubuntu 19.10

Graeme,

I have just setup a freshly built VM for Ubuntu 19.10. I am hoping this issue is related to you not having libtool installed? Could you try sudo apt install libtool to check?

73 Matthew M5EVT.

[Graeme Jury]

 Hi Matthew,

Many thanks for pursuing this for me. Yes the libtool installation fixed all the compile problems but now I am into a run problem, probably caused by Ubuntu installing unixcw in an unexpected place. I saw a message earlier about a symlink which I will follow up. I have copied my error messages for your info and will get back on how I make out with the symlink

Glad to hear we have some progress, I'm surprised that a sudo ldconfig doesn't fix this. I would really like some feedback on quality of transmitted CW. The rather troublesome library you have all been trying to install is at the heart of the transmitted CW timing. I would like to know that on a broader range of systems beyond my own that the transmitted CW sounds ok. Just because the sidetone sounds ok, this doesn't mean the transmitted signal sounds ok.

I'm looking to add some alerts to the receiver screens for SWR, high temperature, ADC overload and TX buffer under/overflow. The TX buffer alert may provide some hint that the transmitted CW could be problematic (the terminal output tells you this in the build at the moment). I have considered removing the sidetone and simply using the transmitted signal feedback to produce the sidetone, but this won't work further down the line when I add MIDI cw key support as I want to produce sidetone in linhpsdr for this.

Hi --

The install of libcw.so needs to be finished by a "sudo ldconfig" to refresh the cache of dynamically loaded libraries.  That happens automatically at every reboot.  There may be a systemd service that will do it for unprivileged users.

"autoreconf -i  && ./configure && make && sudo make install" worked for building unixcw-3.5.1, but I think I installed libtool somewhere along the way, too.

It's more than a ldconfig issue here as I did that routinely. I am away from the computer at present but did try to run cw which couldn't find the library either. When I get a chance I will try adding the library directory to the path and see if that is the problem. (Might study the readme's Roger :-)

You need to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

When you put that into one of the shell startup files, you should be able to run the application - either .profile or .bashrc

OK it runs fine on Pulse Audio with SSB Rx and Tx but can't raise anyone on air, will have to wait for tonight. I will use the intervening time to get to grips with using the cw daemon.

I have certainly missed more than my share of readme files, but I don't know which one I missed here.

When linhpsdr failed to load libcw.so.6, I ran ldconfig, and linhpsdr then ran without a problem.  libcw.so.6 was installed into /usr/ocal/lib.  /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf lists /usr/local/lib, the libc-bin package on Ubuntu 19.10 installs /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf,  /sbin/ldconfig, and several other files concerned with dynamic linking.

Maybe your ldconfig has been configured differently?

Hi Matthew,

Problems with the code crashing...  Let me start out by saying I'm not sure what cwdaemon enabled is supposed to behave like, but I see and hear no difference, BUT there are larger crash issues that I am going to detail.  I have also included the full debug session along with a couple of netstats that have been grep'd to only show linhpsdr matches.

Let me explain the crash,  I am able to enable cwdeamon and the check box stays on, if I close config and open it again the check box is NOT checked.  If I check the box again the program crashes.  It also will not keep it checked from session to session.  I took netstats while it was checked then used my key/keyer directly attached to the hl2 and I can see the debug showing dots/dash/ptt.  It only showed dots in the debug not dashes even tho it transmitted and registered with a debug statement.  I then opened the options again and it is not showing the check box for cwdaemon checked.  I then took a second netstat -nap and still shows the daemon port running.  I think the crash is caused by trying to bind to the port a second time and not checking if it actually is bound.  You will notice the very line of the debug (beginning of the shell prompt) is the word bind.   there must be a logic error on checking if the port is enabled thus showing it not checked and then blindly enabling the port causing the crash.  I have not dug into the code yet but that is my educated guess.  Follows the netstats and debug.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

cwdaemon checked 1st time - netstat -nap

So I figured out that is for pc keying only... Duh!  So when I enable it in cqrlog it sends cw commands to linhpsdr and shows in the shell debug fine.  I hear sidetone - very nice but it does not key the transmitter.  I must be doing something wrong....  BUT if I go through the previous scenario it still crashes the app
