Ham::Device::FT817COMM - Library to control the Yaesu FT817 Ham Radio
VERSION
Version 0.9.9
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
exists
The 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.
Note that you are not limited to one radio. You can create more than one instance using a different name and serial port
my
$anotherFT817
= new Ham::Device::FT817COMM (
serialport
=>
'/dev/ttyUSB1'
,
baud
=>
'38400'
,
lockfile
=>
'/var/lock/ft817-2'
);
my
$port
=
$FT817
->{
'serialport'
};
my
$baud
=
$FT817
->{
'baud'
};
my
$lockfile
=
$FT817
->{
'lockfile'
};
my
$version
=
$FT817
->moduleVersion;
REMEMBER!!!! Each instance created needs its own destructor.
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
=
$FT817
->catLock(
'ON'
);
"$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 Frequency
We 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.
$FT817
->setDebug(1);
# Turns on the debugger
The first output of which is:
DEBUGGER IS ON
Two distinct type of transactions happen with the debugger, they are:
EPROMM commands: Commands which
read
and
write
to the EEPROM
With the command: catgetMode() we get the regular output expected, with verbose(1)
Mode is FM
However with the setDebug(1) we will see the following output to the same command:
[FT817]@/dev/ttyUSB0$ 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
(eepromDecode:DEBUG) - READING FROM ------> [00x79]
(eepromDecode:DEBUG) - PACKET BUILT ------> [00790000BB]
(eepromDecode:DEBUG) - OUTPUT HEX -------> [81]
(eepromDecode:DEBUG) - OUTPUT BIN -------> [10000001]
(writeEeprom:DEBUG) - OUTPUT FROM [00x79]
(writeEeprom:DEBUG) - PACKET BUILT ------> [00790000BB]
(writeEeprom:DEBUG) - BYTE1 (81) BYTE2 (1F) from [00x79]
(writeEeprom:DEBUG) - BYTE1 BINARY IS [10000001]
(writeEeprom:DEBUG) - CHANGING BIT(0) to (0)
(writeEeprom:DEBUG) - BYTE1: BINARY IS [00000001] AFTER CHANGE
(writeEeprom:DEBUG) - CHECKING IF [1] needs padding
(writeEeprom:DEBUG) - Padded to [01]
(writeEeprom:DEBUG) - BYTE1 (01) BYTE2 (1F) to [00x79]
(writeEeprom:DEBUG) - WRITING ----------> (01) (1F)
(writeEeprom:DEBUG) - PACKET BUILT ------> [0079011fBC]
(writeEeprom:DEBUG) - VALUES WRITTEN, CHECKING...
(writeEeprom:DEBUG) - SHOULD BE: (01) (1F)
(writeEeprom:DEBUG) - IS: -----> (01) (1F)
(writeEeprom:DEBUG) - VALUES MATCH!!!
ARTS set to OFF sucessfull!
The output shows all of the transactions and modifications conducted by the system functions
Modules
- agreeWithwarning()
-
$agree
=

they are removed from the hash. If an
alarm
is thrown, look at what function was done in the history
log
and output
log
to figure out why the value was changed
[FT817]@/dev/ttyUSB0/:$ bitcheck
CHANGE FOUND IN MEMORY AREA [0055]: BIT 4 is 0, WAS 1

usefull
return
information Except
for
digest. With
no
argument, it defaults to
console and dumps the entire 76 software calibration memory areas to the screen.
Using digest will
return
an md5 hash of the calibration settings. Using file along
with
a file name writes the output to a file. It's a good idea to keep a copy of
this in case the eeprom gets corrupted and the radio factory defaults. If you dont have
this information, you will have to
send
the radio back to the company
for
recalibration.

->rebuildSoftcal([filename]);
This command is used to reload all of the software calibration settings
for
the FT817 in the event
that either the software calibration had become corrupted, or a master
reset
was needed
for
the rig.
This reload uses the FT817OS
'cal'
file
format
to reload data. If you did not backup your cal settings
The cal file must be in the directory where you are running the program which calls it. The program will
ensure the file
exists
, and the data is correct
before
it attempts to
write
it to the Eeprom. If it finds
an error it will
tell
you what line of the cal file produced the error and stop.
Note that this will start writing data
if
the cal file is error free and not provide any user prompt
Returns 0 on sucessfull
write
of the 76 bytes
Returns 1 on Error

);
Writes settings to the memory area
given
HOME [BAND] and an Option and value.
Writes settings to the memory area
given
MEM [1-200/M-PL/M-PU] and an Option and value.
Writes settings to the memory area
given
QMB and an Option and value.
This is only
for
regular memory's and not the VFO Memories.
Valid options:
MODE - Sets the mode in memory - update only appears
after
toggling the VFO
NARFM - Sets
if
Narrow FM os ON or OFF
NARCWDIG - Sets
if
the CW or Digital Mode is on Narrow
RPTOFFSET - Sets the Repeater offset
TAG - Sets the radio display to show label or frequency
LABEL - Sets the 8 character label
for
memory area
MEMSKIP - Sets
if
the memory area is skipped on scan or not
TONEDCS - Sets type type of tone being used
ATT - Sets
if
ATT is on
if
applicable.
IPO - Sets
if
IPO is on
if
applicable.
FMSTEP - Sets the setting
for
FM STEP in KHZ
AMSTEP - Sets the setting
for
AM STEP in KHZ
SSBSTEP - Sets the setting
for
SSB STEP in KHZ
CTCSSTONE - Sets the CTCSS Tone
DCSCODE - Sets the DCS Code
CLARIFIER - Sets the CLARIFIER on or off
CLAROFFSET - Sets the polarity and offset frequency of the clarifier
RXFREQ - Sets the stored Receive Frequency
RPTOFFSETFREQ - Sets the stored Repeater offset Frequency
The UHF / HF/VHF and FREQ RANGE options are set automatically by the RXFREQ option and should not be manually set
If you have never used the QMB/MTQMB option on the radio, the memory addresses will show garbled data.
Its simply easier to first
send
some arbitrary data to the channels in the radio by following the instructions
on manual page 44. This is not a requirment,
if
you dont
use
QMB or MTQMB you
do
not need to
do
this.
Never used memory addresses will be automatically formatted
with
the correct data
when
the memory area is activated
Using a built in function within writeMem That checks
for
the ready bit within that area.
- writeMemvfo ()

$option
=
$FT817
->writeMemvfo(
'[MTUNE/MTQMB]'
,
'[OPTION]'
,
'[VALUE]'
);
Writes settings to the VFO memory
given
a VFO [A/B] and a BAND [20M/40M/70CM] etc..
Writes settings to the VFO memory
given
a VFO [MTUNE/MTQMB]
no
band required
