I am wondering if this is correct setting in the Modem Tab I thought it used to be something else.

I would like to use my UDRC ll with a Kenwood D700 is it as simple as just using the 6 pin Din plug on the front of the radio? Are there any special settings to make on the radio?

Thanks, Ted W3VG

Hi,

Are you sure the ThumbDV is at /dev/ttyUSB0 ? (ls /dev/ttyUSB?)

Yes, it's on /dev/ttyUSB0. Here's what "dmesg" says :
  FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0

Have you tried the python test scripts?

Yes. Using it on /dev/ttyUSB0, speed 460800, of course with ThumbDV connected :

If it is a newly purchased ThumbDV the baud rate is 460800

Brand new, ordered last month.

--
After re-checking all, reinstalling init.d script, and rebooting, it works !!!

I think the reason of the failure was I had an init.d startup script with the default speed (230400). This may have sent scrambled data to the serial port during boot, causing odd behavior later (even with the right speed settings).

For people who may encounter the same problem later, my init.d startup script contains the following line :
  /usr/bin/AMBEserver -d -i /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 460800

Hi,

I'm trying to run AMBEserver with a ThumbDV on a Raspberry Pi 2 running Raspbian (with kernel 4.4.38).

I compiled AMBEserver from DL5DI OpenDV GitHub.

I try to run it with the following command :
  /usr/bin/AMBEserver -d -i /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 460800

It seems to start :
  AMBEserver: Opened serial port /dev/ttyUSB0 at 460800 bps.

Then, after a few seconds, I get the following errors :
  AMBEserver: Couldn't find start byte in serial data
  AMBEserver: error receiving response to reset
  AMBEserver: Could not initialize the DV3K!

ThumbDV is brand new, out-of-the-box. I tried both speeds of 230400 and 460800, with same results.

Please note I didn't follow the installation procedure described here :
https://nw-digital-radio.groups.io/g/ambe/wiki/Installing-AMBEserver-on-a-Raspberry-Pi-and-ThumbDV%E2%84%A2
(I do not want to use an 'exotic' Linux distribution, I'd like to run it on standard Raspbian).

Thank you in advance. 73 de TK1BI

ok John....getting close....I can connect now, was messing with the gateway settings. I don't hear anyone...but  I am connected now. What should my gateway settings be?

It was the baud rate setting.just figured that part out...but....  i am using the 1.5.8 software version. Now it seems that I am not connected, and the connect button is grayed out. i am making a little headway, that baud issue really had me going there. Thanks for your help John.

got this error on both a pc and a tablet. windows 10. any ideas?

Is there any software to access DMR with the NW Thumbdv ?

I've gone roughly 1hour w/o the app crashing or having display issues but the "stop" button to end a transmission is failing to engage once a transmission has begun. Thet's just bad amateur radio practice and if it's the app failing then that's no good. It's a pretty app but I'm not sure it's a very reliable app at this time. Well, I hope it's been noticed and addressed. I have no idea if they are reading my submissions, I get no replies.

I do not want just complain or point out faults. I do appreciate the application and the effort that's been put into it. So, thank you for the app and I hope my donation goes toward making it a better app.
