RC-28, more than half solved

Installation Help
1

I got the PTT button to work now, and also the LED link and transmit works. Here is a log:

I used this udev rule:
SUBSYSTEM==“usb”, ATTR{idVendor}==“0c26”, ATTR{idProduct}==“001e”, GROUP=“users”, MODE=“0666”

Which now supplies these permissins, the device 004 is the RC-28:
ls -al /dev/bus/usb/001
totalt 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 160 12 jan 01.41 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 80 1 jan 1970 …
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 189, 0 30 jan 11.35 001
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 189, 1 30 jan 11.35 002
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 189, 2 30 jan 11.42 003
crw-rw-rw-+ 1 root users 189, 3 30 jan 11.42 004
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 189, 4 30 jan 11.42 005
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 189, 5 30 jan 11.42 006

I think the important change was the GROUP-command in the rule. But the VFO wheel still does not work. The sensitivity bar in the RC-28 setup also is not adjustable.

I have discovered an issue with the way USB controllers handle Frequency change commands, this is fixed in my development branch, called “kenwood” (which also adds provisional support for Kenwood TS-890) you can try that. by modifying the build script.

Thanks, can you please give me directions to find the Kenwood build?

Just call the build-script (fullbuild-wfview.sh · master · Elliott Liggett / scripts · GitLab ) with the name of the branch,

./fullbuild-wfview.sh kenwood

Please be aware that this branch is being actively worked on, so may break other things, please don’t report any issues!

Thanks, will try, I have a copy of my present installation so no worries if there are any issues!

Yes, the udev rules with the group command and your Kenwood build gets the RC-28 to work as intended on my Bookworm system, thanks for your patience!
