Adalm Pluto Portsdown 4

Post by SP4ELF » Sun Jun 20, 2021 5:19 pm

Hello everyone
I started Porstdown 4 set and I can't get Adalm Pluto to broadcast. Has anyone encountered this problem with Adalm Pluto. Maybe I missed something during installation?
I have v0.31-4-g9ceb-dirty version installed. Other generator functions or additional Langstone option work without problems. Thank you for all the suggestions.

Hi Marek

We need more information to be able to help:
  • What Video Source are you using?
  • How is the Pluto Connected to the Portsdown?
  • What is the IP Address of your Pluto?
  • What is the IP Address of your local network?
  • What SR and Frequency?

Hello Dave, thank you for the response .
I'm using as signal source - test screen or portsdown screen. Camera will arrive soon.
Adalm Pluto is connected to USB 3.0 port. IP address set to 192.168.2.10. Network address 192.168.2.1.
I tested all possible SR settings and types of broadcasts.. I mainly depend on working with SR66.

Please try it not connected to your home network. You did not tell me what the IP Address range of your local network was.

Also try with the Pluto in the USB2 port. Use 333 kS FEC 1/2 DVB-S2 QPSK H264 Test Card for testing.

Thank you very much for the advice Dave.
After changing the port to USB 2.O and reloading the firmware, everything started working. The problem is only with the work of SR 66. The signal from Pluto appears only after closing the TestCard image and returning to the menu. There is a signal for a moment then it turns off.
