Hermes Lite 2.0 no longer works

[sanamon]

Hi,

I have a Hermes lite 2.0 radio and use LinHPSDR, I noticed that a fresh checkout no longer works with the hermes lite 2.
My "old" version which has commits up til "Date: Sun Mar 10 13:46:18 2019 +0000" works, but somewhere among the last 6 commits something broke it. If I try reverting the 2 last commits it works again, so i'm guessing something in the "improved control for LimeSDR"
6675f95 breaks Hermes Lite 2.0 support?

The old version doesn't work flawlessly as reception doesnt start when starting the radio, but changing the the sample rate from 48 to 96k or vice versa starts it. So that does work, but with a recent clone it doesnt work at all, even after changing sample rate.

Best Regards,
Jonas

It is the same in my case also. John is getting a loan of an HL2 and I am sure he will fix this when it arrives. The issue of needing to change the sample rate to start the radio has been discussed in the hl groups forum some months ago.

Thanks Graeme!

Good to see i'm not the only one who has to change sample rate to start it.

Can You also confirm that commit 6675f95 breaks Hermes Lite 2.0 support?
(after this commit, it doesn't help to change sample rate. It does not start at all)

Jonas

Hello Jonas,

Yes that is correct and I needed to go back 1 version. I am sure that John will fix this when he gets his HL2. It's pretty amazing that it has got as far as it has considering that he was flying blind.

Yes, i agree. Kudos for making such a great software also! Regards, Jonas

I have pushed an update mainly for SoapySDR and support for QO-100 transverter settings. I have also run this version of the code with a RadioBerry that emulates a Hermes Lite 2. Can someone check if this is working with a real Hermes Lite 2.0?

Thanks,

Hi John, Thanks for the update. Unfortunately I still get only a black scope/waterfall and changing the sample rate does not start it. Best Regards, Jonas Den tis 23 apr. 2019 kl 23:17 skrev John Melton <notifications@github.com>:

Hello John et al,

Sorry but moved house today, no Internet, just my cell phone for a few days. Will test as soon as I can.

I will be going to see Alan Hopper tomorrow to test with his Hermes Lite 2. I will take my Radioberry so we can try to work out why one works and the other does not.

Fixed. Hermes Lite added a timeout on receiving data from the application. At startup this was being exceeded after sending start to radio but before application ready to process data.

Thanks John,

I just did a git pull and tested, but now it segfaults after starting the radio...

Never mind.
Did a "make clean" and a new "make" and it works!
Thanks again!
