Controlling portsdown 4 with putty

Post by sigourneyanderson » Fri Sep 27, 2024 7:50 am

Hello
Is the Portsdown 4, like Portsdown 2020 still controllable with Putty via the console interface?
When I enter the command /home/pi/rpidatv/scripts/menu.sh menu via putty, I get 'Portsdown DATV TX Version 202102250 By F5OEO and the BATC Team'.
I can apparently configure anything through the console.
I have tried with FW1.30 (MiniLime Selected) but also DVB FW (LimeDVB Selected) but I can only get it to produce a carrier at the set frequency ?

Hi

Some aspects of the ssh Console control work with the Porstdown 4 but, as so few people were using it, I have not updated it in the last 3 or 4 years.

I would not recommend using the ssh Console with the Portsdown 4 unless you find something that works.
