With some help from others, and building upon the work for KJ6MSJ and VA3ZTF, he was able to finally make this work and has released the final product to everyone. These macro tags allow the execution of external scripts from within a Fldigi macro, such as a you might use to automatically log a QSO after sending your final 73 and SK message. Earlier this month, Dale took on the task of trying to get Fldigi to properly execute an AppleScript to write saved log entries to MacLoggerDX via the macro tags within Fldigi. On other OS’s, this may take the form of a Python script or some small Bash script in Linux, but proper execution of AppleScript has been difficult at times to figure out.Įnter Dale Puckett (K0HYD). However, Fldigi has been able to support execution of external scripts for some time now. Due to its nature as a non-Cocoa application, Fldigi has not been able to benefit from AppleScript’s features and capabilities. Among many other capabilities, AppleScript can be used to automate importing of logs from programs such as CocoaModem or to automate upload/download from eQSL or LoTW and it is in these areas we see it most often applied by amateur radio software. Much of the popular amateur radio software on OS X, such as Aether, MacLoggerDX, CocoaModem and RUMlog, has supported AppleScript for years. If you found this post useful, consider dropping a buck in the tip-jar.AppleScript® is one of the many features of OS X that can be used to add so much functionality to your computer. Hopefully what we’ve shared so far has been useful for you. I’ll also continue shariny my own Raspberry Pi projects in blogs and videos as I get them done. I’ll keep sharing Raspberry Pi for ham radio resources as I find them.
#BOOTABLE LINUX FLDIGI PORTABLE#
I’m sure I would have been able to achieve my Raspberry Pi for ham radio goals, but it was definitely made easier by the kind and helpful operators in the portable digital & qrp group on Facebook.
#BOOTABLE LINUX FLDIGI HOW TO#
He shows us how to get up to date repository for wsjt-x for the Raspberry Pi, as well as installing FLDigi. KK5JY has made a step by step tutorial to show us how to do exactly that Compile FLDigi for Raspberry Pi
The best way to ensure you get the latest greatest version of fldigi is to compile it yourself.Here are two web pages which helped immensely in setting up both of those software packages.
#BOOTABLE LINUX FLDIGI INSTALL#
So you’ll either need to build your own installation packages from source, or find an updated repository to install from. Setup, installation & repositoriesįirst of all it wasn’t easy setting up wsjt-x from the raspbian repositories, because those packages are extremely outdated. The whole thing is powered by my 10 amp hour lithium iron phosphate battery, and powerfilm solar panel. For the Yaesu ft-891 its USB port connects to the Raspberry Pi as well.
I used the zlp MiniProSC audio interface connected to the USB port of the Raspberry Pi, with its digital output connected to the Yaesu ft-891 or Yaesu ft-817. I use a Samsung Galaxy Tab active as a screen and interface for the Raspberry Pi.
