![]() Success! RUMlog did not throw any errors and back on the logging screen, I saw that frequency and mode was being updated off the radio. The app did not crash when I tried this, so I assumed it was running, and then configured RUMlogNG to connect to the Raspberry Pi on port 7373. After attaching a Serial to USB Converter to a Raspberry Pi, I was able to run the below command as root: ~/remserial-1.4 $. ![]() Reading the specifications of the piglet, it became apparent that what it was doing was taking the serial CAT interface of the rig control, and making it accessible over wifi network to connected devices by streaming the serial data out of a TCP port.Īrmed with this information, went looking for alternative ways to connect serial interfaces to RUMlog, and happened across this forum post, talking about an app called remserial. One of the more interesting features was that basic interaction with your radio was possible (reading of frequency, mode), with the suggestion to use one of Pignology’s Piglets. The dongle connects my Icom and my iMac running RumLog or RumPed. Not ready to purchase a laptop just for radio operations, I was hoping that I could use a more contemporary platform for operations – an iPad.Ī quick search around and I came across RUMlogNG, which is easily the best logging interface I have seen in a ham radio iPad app that is modestly priced. First the CT17 CAT dongle and now an Icom cable for the Minipro arrived here really fast. The Toshiba Tecra M2 which I used as my station computer for many years finally reached the end of its life, with none of the major operating systems supporting non- PAE chipsets. XCat works well with various other programs - but is there a way to make a 'Virtual Serial' port for the Skookum to see, that can link into the XCat - or direct to the Flex/Maestro Just thinking of trying something for this weekends ARRL DX Contest. ![]() My workspace for my radio gear is pretty limited, therefore space is at a premium.
