I don't know the rig above, I just Google'd some info's.
I see, the rig has an USB connector - but I assume that it's a
serial converter (which is probably true, the USB_to_UART in your
name of device affects that too).
If that true, the most simple way, that you unplug the converter
from PC, and reconnect, till you see the syslog/messages file.
You'll see some kind of these lines:
[235784.268109] usb 5-1: ch341-uart converter now attached to ttyUSB3
then you can set up in your logcfg.dat these:
RADIO_CONTROL
RIGMODEL=361
RIGSPEED=19200
RIGPORT=/dev/ttyUSB3
of course, the RIGPORT is what you see in your log.
You can fix the device through the udev:
type this command:
sudo udevadm info /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2102_USB_to_UART_Bridge
you'll see something like this:
P: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.3/usb5/5-1/5-1:1.0/ttyUSB3/tty/ttyUSB3
N: ttyUSB3
S: serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB2.0-Serial-if00-port0
S: serial/by-path/pci-0000:00:1d.3-usb-0:1:1.0-port0
...
E: ID_MODEL_ID=7523
E: ID_PATH=pci-0000:00:1d.3-usb-0:1:1.0
E: ID_PATH_TAG=pci-0000_00_1d_3-usb-0_1_1_0
E: ID_REVISION=0254
E: ID_SERIAL=1a86_USB2.0-Serial
E: ID_TYPE=generic
...
E: ID_VENDOR=1a86
E: ID_VENDOR_ENC=1a86
by those lines, you can write an own rule for udev:
sudo touch /etc/udev/rules.d/z21_persistent-local.rules
edit the file, and put these fields, of course replace to your
output:
ATTRS{idProduct}=="7523", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1a86", SYMLINK+="rig"
Then:
sudo udevadm control --reload
In this case, if you'll connect your rig to your PC (which has
that udev rule), you will see that as "/dev/rig", and you can
talk with from any application (of course, you have to replace
the /dev/ttyUSBX in Tlf logcfg.dat file too).
Hope that's clear - let me know, if you have any question.
73, Ervin
