Python program for changing date & time on new betas (GD77transfer.py)

Post by oh1fss » Sun Sep 19, 2021 2:13 pm

I have added new functionality to my program which downloads and uploads codeplug to/from GD77 (or RD-5R or DM-1801). I have added option -t which updates date and time of the radio from the PC.

To update date/time of your radio, plug in the cable, turn the radio on normally and on the PC issue command:

$ ./GD77transfer.py -t

This works on the new betas (I tested on Public Beta (2021 09 14)). On the old releases the -t option does nothing.

If your radio happens to use other port than /dev/ttyACM0, you have to use the -d parameter. See dmesg for the actual port device name.

The other functionality has not been changed. The satellite information is embedded in the codeplug (as "custom data") and this program should be able to download/upload such codeplugs.
