Simpleusb-tune-menu error

This worked yesterday. Now I get an error. What am I doing different?

sudo simpleusb-tune-menu

Error parsing device parameters: No such command ‘susb tune menu-support 0’ (type ‘core show help susb tune’ for other possible commands)

Is there another way to do the simple usb tune?

de Steve N6VL

sudo /usr/bin/simpleusb-tume-menu

@N8PC The executable is actually located at /usr/sbin/simpleusb-tune-menu

@Smalltalk Yes, you can, but it’s a bit more difficult because you need to know what the “menu codes” are by looking them up in the source code for simpleusb-tune-menu.

The error you are seeing means that there may have been a problem connecting to the local asterisk to run the command. Restarting would probably fix this. But you can also test the following command and report back what happens:

sudo asterisk -rx "susb tune menu-support 0"

Make sure you use the double quotes. If this reports back a string of numbers and commas like

500,500,0,1,1,0,1,0,2,2,0,0

then that means it should be working and you can try sudo simpleusb-tune-menu again.
If instead you receive some sort of error message, then you can post that for more help.

sudo asterisk -rx “susb tune menu-support 0”
No such command ‘susb tune menu-support 0’ (type ‘core show help susb tune’ for other possible commands)

That said this was working the other day.

that is exactly what I said as to where it was located.

This suggests a configuration issue either with “rpt.conf” (the “rxchannel = SimpleUSB/node#” variable/value for the node) or “simpleusb.conf” file (a missing/mismatched “[node#]” stanza) … and remember to restart asterisk after making changes to the .conf files.

rpt.conf and simpleusb.conf look okay now. I did have to tweak rpt.conf. But the error is still there even after restarting the asterisk service.

Also I noticed that there’s a completely different tune function inside of asl-menu. This one doesn’t error out.

This command is to be run from a linux command line not a asterisk CLI>

@Mike

You misunderstood me.

I know ‘sudo simpleusb-tune-menu’ is run directly in the terminal.

But in asl-menu
1 Node Settings
1 AllStar Node Setup Menu
1 Update node ######
8 Interface Tune CLI

There’s a similar utility. This one I can run. But ‘sudo simpleusb-tune-menu’ keeps giving me an error.

Should I be using ‘Interface Tune CLI’ or ‘sudo simpleusb-tune-menu’? Are they pretty much the same?

The asl-menu “Interface Tune CLI” option executes the simpleusb-tune-menu command. That code, in turn, ends up using the “susb tune …” commands to interact with the SimpleUSB channel driver.

Q? does your configuration have a single node? or more than one?

I do wonder if the device addressed changed. Might verify that.

Thanks for all the help. I was able to get my node up and working.

Using the asl-menu ‘Interface Tune CLI’ was enough to get me up and going. At least I have the basics working.
