🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to siqs_ftdi — it's the Sdr IQ Server, and it's literally the glow-up your radio deserved 💅✨ (this one lives in the User Manuals section, if you were wondering where to find it 🎀)

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like. this program is out here trying to mimic the sdrxx server that was created by Moe WHEATLEY, and the whole point is to give the SDR-IQ a network interface that's compatible with the one on the fancier radios from RFSPACE. it's giving "budget bestie, luxury energy" 🫶

ngl, the sdrxx server source code turned out to be unfeasible to port to Linux 😭 but it was invaluable as a reference, so no regrets fr fr.

also a special mention deserves Ken N9VV — that icon put his radio, his Linux computer and his Internet connection at my disposal so this software could get developed and tested. king behaviour, no cap 👑

this application is compatible with the SDR-IP and NetSDR networked software defined radio receivers made by RFSPACE, Inc. of Atlanta, GA 🌈

and running it with other receivers that have USB interfaces (such as the SDR-IQ) is made possible by the siqs_ftdi program. that's the whole vibe check, that's the plot 💖

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

siqs_ftdi

---

🦋 getting it running 🦋

okay so in order to run CuteSDR you have to remove the standard Linux kernel FTDI driver from your system. don't panic, this is feasible at run time:

sudo rmmod usbserial ftdi_sio

next, check that the radio is correctly linked to the system:

lsusb

and you should see something like:

Bus 006 Device 002: ID 0403:6001 Future Technology Devices
International, Ltd FT232 USB-Serial (UART) IC

if everything is fine, open a terminal window and start the server:

siqs_ftdi ------
------ SDR-IQ server for Cute SDR
------
------ libftdi version
------
------ (C) 2012, Ken N9VV && Andrea IW0HDV
interfaces = 2:
lo - 127.0.0.1
eth0 - 192.168.10.1
SRXXX STARTED: size 56
Press q <ENTER> to exit.
Listening for TCP connections on port 50000 socket: 6

last step bestie: run CuteSDR from another terminal window, and into the menu Setup->Network press the "Find SDR" push button, or manually insert the network data. 🌟

heads up tho: the auto discovery procedure works only if the CuteSDR and the server are placed on the same LAN (broadcast domain). same wifi or it's not happening 🙈

please note that the server is not yet completed with all the features: e.g. the discovery messages is only partially supported. it's a work in progress, be nice to it 🥺
