First of all, congratulations on obtaining a FUNcube dongle, the SDR
|
||
|
|
receiver ground segment for the FUNcube satellite! More info on this
|
||
|
|
exciting AMSAT-UK project can be found on http://funcube.org.uk/ more about
|
||
|
|
the dongle on http://www.funcubedongle.com/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The FUNcube dongle driver uses the USB kit backend in hamlib to interface to
|
||
|
|
the dongle via the USB HID interface. For this to work in hamlib, we need
|
||
|
|
LibUSB support (tested with 1.2.3.0 and 1.2.4.0) and LibUSB support compiled
|
||
|
|
into hamlib. This should be the case for all official hamlib releases
|
||
|
|
(hamlib-win32-1.2.13-2 tested).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You will need to download and install libusb-win32 from
|
||
|
|
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb-win32/ extract the zip archive to a
|
||
|
|
convenient location, change into this directory and run inf-wizard.exe
|
||
|
|
located in the bin directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Select the proper device in this wizard (Vendor ID 0x04D8, Product ID
|
||
|
|
0xFB56, interface 2) Click NEXT and accept the defaults, or change the
|
||
|
|
vendor name and product ID as you wish to see it appear in device manager.
|
||
|
|
I've changed this ID to reflect the vendor (hanlincrest ltd) and product
|
||
|
|
name (funcube dongle).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can now suggest a location to store the driver (I suggest creating a
|
||
|
|
directory for this as the wizard creates more than one file). Finally,
|
||
|
|
install the driver as suggested by the wizard.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You should be all set up now. Running hamlib from the command line using
|
||
|
|
rigctl -m 2513 -vvvv should provide something like below:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
>rigctl.exe -m 2513 -v
|
||
|
|
Opened rig model 2513, 'FUNcube Dongle'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Rig command:
|
||
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
If you made it to here, you are all set up and ready to go.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**** PLEASE NOTE: by installing the LibUSB INF driver, other tools accessing
|
||
|
|
the dongle cannot find it anymore as they are looking for the windows HID
|
||
|
|
driver. Just uninstall the hamlib driver if you want to use those tools
|
||
|
|
again! HAMLIB or LibUSB DID NOT BREAK YOUR SYSTEM! ****
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You could use hardware profiles to easily switch drivers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Happy SDR-ing!
