Odaju Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Hi, the Yardstick 1 does not get automatically recognised by GQRX and I cannot seem to figure out the exact path for the USB device as I get this error "Unknown host (/dev/ttyUSB0)" Does anyone know how I can get the correct path for the USB or have any saved configuration file that can help me. I have tried "lsusb", "dmesg" commands but it does not help much.Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Does not help because...? Unplug the YS1. Run this: cd /tmp lsusb > lsusb.pre dmesg > dmesg.pre Now re-attach the YS1. Then run this: cd /tmp lsusb > lsusb.post dmesg > dmesg.post diff -u lsusb.pre lsusb.post diff -u dmesg.pre dmesg.post If you still can't figure it out based on this, it's probably because you're missing a driver, but post the output of those 2 diff commands here so we can have a look.

Integrated Rate Matching Hub Thanks I have done all that before. That only tells if the USB is attached but does not say the exact device path. Using the code below, I can find the exact path but I am still not sure what the configuration settings are for the yardstick 1 when I start GQRX find /dev/bus/ Please, can you tell me what configuration settings to use when I start GQRX -r or can you save your own configuration settings and send to me. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phpsystems Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 When you start GQRX, what are the build in sources? Are they like this: built-in source types: file osmosdr fcd rtl rtl_tcp uhd miri hackrf bladerf rfspace airspy Note the absence of the yardstick one, as it is not a SDR, so may well not be supported.

Odaju Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 Please does any one have a step by step process for using GQRX with the Yardstick 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odaju Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 It seems the Yardstick 1 is generally useless for its price since it is only compatible with rfcat. It is a better idea to buy a Raspberry pi or an Arduino and buy a transceiver instead for a cheaper price and better usefulness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phpsystems Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 The Yardstick one is a tool. It has it's limitations, and it also has it's benefits. What are you trying to do with it (other than just use GQRX,which you could just use with an rtl-sdr). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are in supported bands and supported encoding Yard Stick One is nice and simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
