NAME
Ham::Device::FT817COMM - Library to control the Yaesu FT817 Ham Radio
VERSION
Version 0.9.0_17
SYNOPSIS
use HAM::Device::FT817COMM;
Constructor and Port Configurations
my $FT817 = new Ham::Device::FT817COMM (
serialport => '/dev/ttyUSB0',
baud => '38400',
lockfile => '/var/lock/ft817'
);
my $port = $FT817->{'serialport'};
my $baud = $FT817->{'baud'};
my $lockfile = $FT817->{'lockfile'};
my $version = $FT817->moduleVersion;Destructor
$FT817->closePort;Lock File
In the event you abruptly end the software or loose connectivity via ssh. When attempting to reconnect you will see the following error.
Can't open serial port /dev/ttyUSB0: File existsThe lock file can be remove simply by
rm /var/lock/ft817 Initialization
The instance of the device and options are created with the constructor and port configurations shown above. The variable which is an instance of the device may be named at that point. In this case $FT817. The serialport must be a valid port and not locked. You must consider that your login must have permission to access the port either being added to the group or giving the user suffucient privilages. The baudrate 'baud' must match the baudrate of the radio CAT RATE which is menu item 14.
Finally lockfile is recommended to ensure that no other software may access the port at the same time. The lockfile is removed as part of the invocation of the destructor method.
METHODS
1. Using Return Data From a Module
This allows for complete control of the rig through the sub routines all done through the cat interface
$output = 'rigname'->'command'('value');an example is a follows
$output = $FT817->catLock('ON');Using this method, the output which is collected in the varible $output is designed to be minimal for use in applications that provide an already formatted output.
For example:
$output = $FT817->catLock('ON');
print "$output";Would simply return F0 if the command failed and 00 if the command was sucessfull. The outputs vary from module to module, depending on the function
2. Using setVerbose()
The module already has pre-formatted outputs for each subroutine. Using the same example in a different form and setting setVerbose(1) we have the following
setVerbose(1);
$FT817->catLock('ON');The output would be, for example:
Set Lock (ENABLE) Sucessfull.Other verbose outputs exist to catch errors.
setVerbose(1);
$FT817->catLock('blabla');The output would be:
Set Lock (blabla) Failed. Option:blabla invalid.An example of both is shown below for the command getHome()
As return data: Y
As verbose(1) : At Home FrequencyWe see that return data will be suitable for a program which needs just a boolean value.
3. Build a sub-routine into a condition
Another use can be to use a subrouting as a value in a condition statment to test
if (($FT817->gethome()) eq 'Y') {
warn "I guess we're home";
}Call all of the modules, one at a time and look at the outputs, from which you can decide how the data can be used. At this time I have completed a command line front end for this module that makes testing all of the functionality easy.
DEBUGGER
FT817COMM has a built in robust debugger that makes available to the user all transactions between the software and the rig. Where verbose gave the outputs to user initiated subroutines, the debugger does very much the same but with internal functions not designed to be called directly in the userspace. That being said, you should never directly call these system functions or you will quickly turn your 817 into a paperweight or door stop. You have been warned.
Feel free to use the debugger to get an idea as to how the module and the radio communicate.
$FT817->setDebug(1); # Turns on the debuggerThe first output of which is:
DEBUGGER IS ONTwo distinct type of transactions happen with the debugger, they are:
CAT commands : Commands which use the Yaesu CAT protocol
EPROMM commands: Commands which read and write to the EEPROMWith the command: catgetMode() we get the regular output expected, with verbose(1)
Mode is FMHowever with the setDebug(1) we will see the following output to the same command:
[FT817]@/dev/ttyUSB0$ get mode
(sendCat:DEBUG) - DATA OUT ------> 00 00 00 00 03
(sendCat:DEBUG) - BUILT PACKET --> 0000000003
(sendCat:DEBUG) - DATA IN <------- 1471200008
Mode is FM
[FT817]@/dev/ttyUSB0$ The sendcat:debug shows the request of 00 00 00 00 0x03 sent to the rig, and the rig returning 1471200008. What were looking at is the last two digits 08 which is parsed from the block of data. 08 is mode FM. FT817COMM does all of the parsing and conversion for you.
As you might have guessed, the first 8 digits are the current frequency, which in this case is 147.120 MHZ. The catgetFrequency() module would pull the exact same data, but parse it differently
The debugger works differently on read/write to the eeprom. The next example shown below used the function setArts('OFF'), the function which tunrs arts off.
[FT817]@/dev/ttyUSB0$ set arts off
