AMBED with Flo DF3ET AMBE3003 and DV-30 Stick

[hb9gfx]

As soon as I add a DV-Stick 30 Stick to the USB Port of the AMBE Server the AMBE3003 stops workling.
Both Ambes are recognized but no channels available.
As soon as I reject the DV-Stick 30 all is ok again.

I could not check it yet but I guess the code fails pairing the spare AMBE channel of the DF2ET AMBE 3003 board with the channel of the DV-Stick 30. I have to take a look at the code.

Ist it an issue or just not supported

[dl5di]

I found the same issue and proposed a change today to get it work.
I believe that there are actually 2 different issues:

1. There is a minor bug which lets the code run into a deadlock when you connect 2 sticks.
   That is easy to fix.
2. Even when that is fixed the code does not really support to combine AMBE3000 with 3003.
   But with a little change and a special treatment of this mixed configuation it works fine here at XLX262.
   I could only test with the specific combination of one 3003 and one 3000, have no others.

Hi Hans, thanks for the info. I was also trying to debug this. Could I see you patch please? vy73 de Florian DF2ET

Uhps, sure. I am no specialist on GitHub and thought that it would be visible at the correct place automatically. Maybe I did something wrong when recommending it. The changed source file is located in this forked branch: https://github.com/dl5di/xlxd/blob/patch-1/ambed/cvocodecs.cpp 73 de Hans DL5DI Am 26.03.2019 um 07:48 schrieb Florian (DF2ET):

Hi Hans,

no problem. I could also have had a look at your repo :-)
I will give it a try.

Last night I saw 2 branches in addition to the master in the xlxd repo. One was older, the other showed my recommended changes. Both are gone now, I only see the master branch left.

Maybe you looked at the original repo rather than your fork. I can still see the changes in your forked repo: https://github.com/dl5di/xlxd/tree/patch-1?files=1

Need to check my hars/soft reset settings on the USB-3000 board ...

[dl5di]

I also found some open issues to fix with my modified old ThumbDVs, which were for RPI/GPIO, but now modified for USB/FTDI. But these things should not have anything to do with the detection and pairing fix. This stuff was just invisible before, because the device was not used at all. The worst was, that the ambed always run into a deadlock as soon as I plugged in 2 sticks. Have fun with fixing the other open issues! :-) 73 de Hans DL5DI Am 26.03.2019 um 11:16 schrieb Florian (DF2ET):
