Ham::Device::FT817COMM - Library to control the Yaesu FT817 Ham Radio
Version 0.9.6
use HAM::Device::FT817COMM;
my $FT817 = new Ham::Device::FT817COMM ( serialport => '/dev/ttyUSB0', baud => '38400', lockfile => '/var/lock/ft817' ); my $port = $FT817->{'serialport'}; my $baud = $FT817->{'baud'}; my $lockfile = $FT817->{'lockfile'}; my $version = $FT817->moduleVersion;
$FT817->closePort;
In the event you abruptly end the software or loose connectivity via ssh. When attempting to reconnect you will see the following error.
Can't open serial port /dev/ttyUSB0: File exists
The lock file can be remove simply by
rm /var/lock/ft817
The instance of the device and options are created with the constructor and port configurations shown above. The variable which is an instance of the device may be named at that point. In this case $FT817. The serialport must be a valid port and not locked. You must consider that your login must have permission to access the port either being added to the group or giving the user suffucient privilages. The baudrate 'baud' must match the baudrate of the radio CAT RATE which is menu item 14.
Note that you are not limited to one radio. You can create more than one instance using a different name and serial port
my $anotherFT817 = new Ham::Device::FT817COMM ( serialport => '/dev/ttyUSB1', baud => '38400', lockfile => '/var/lock/ft817-2' ); my $port = $FT817->{'serialport'}; my $baud = $FT817->{'baud'}; my $lockfile = $FT817->{'lockfile'}; my $version = $FT817->moduleVersion;
REMEMBER!!!! Each instance created needs its own destructor.
Finally lockfile is recommended to ensure that no other software may access the port at the same time. The lockfile is removed as part of the invocation of the destructor method.
This allows for complete control of the rig through the sub routines all done through the cat interface
$output = 'rigname'->'command'('value');
an example is a follows
$output = $FT817->catLock('ON');
Using this method, the output which is collected in the varible $output is designed to be minimal for use in applications that provide an already formatted output.
For example:
$output = $FT817->catLock('ON'); print "$output";
Would simply return F0 if the command failed and 00 if the command was sucessfull. The outputs vary from module to module, depending on the function
The module already has pre-formatted outputs for each subroutine. Using the same example in a different form and setting setVerbose(1) we have the following
setVerbose(1); $FT817->catLock('ON');
The output would be, for example:
Set Lock (ENABLE) Sucessfull.
Other verbose outputs exist to catch errors.
setVerbose(1); $FT817->catLock('blabla');
The output would be:
Set Lock (blabla) Failed. Option:blabla invalid.
An example of both is shown below for the command getHome()
As return data: Y As verbose(1) : At Home Frequency
We see that return data will be suitable for a program which needs just a boolean value.
Another use can be to use a subrouting as a value in a condition statment to test
if (($FT817->gethome()) eq 'Y') { warn "I guess we're home"; }
Call all of the modules, one at a time and look at the outputs, from which you can decide how the data can be used. At this time I have completed a command line front end for this module that makes testing all of the functionality easy.
FT817COMM has a built in robust debugger that makes available to the user all transactions between the software and the rig. Where verbose gave the outputs to user initiated subroutines, the debugger does very much the same but with internal functions not designed to be called directly in the userspace. That being said, you should never directly call these system functions or you will quickly turn your 817 into a paperweight or door stop. You have been warned.
Feel free to use the debugger to get an idea as to how the module and the radio communicate.
$FT817->setDebug(1); # Turns on the debugger
The first output of which is:
DEBUGGER IS ON
Two distinct type of transactions happen with the debugger, they are:
CAT commands : Commands which use the Yaesu CAT protocol EPROMM commands: Commands which read and write to the EEPROM
With the command: catgetMode() we get the regular output expected, with verbose(1)
Mode is FM
However with the setDebug(1) we will see the following output to the same command:
[FT817]@/dev/ttyUSB0$ get mode (sendCat:DEBUG) - DATA OUT ------> 00 00 00 00 03 (sendCat:DEBUG) - BUILT PACKET --> 0000000003 (sendCat:DEBUG) - DATA IN <------- 1471200008 Mode is FM [FT817]@/dev/ttyUSB0$
The sendcat:debug shows the request of 00 00 00 00 0x03 sent to the rig, and the rig returning 1471200008. What were looking at is the last two digits 08 which is parsed from the block of data. 08 is mode FM. FT817COMM does all of the parsing and conversion for you.
As you might have guessed, the first 8 digits are the current frequency, which in this case is 147.120 MHZ. The catgetFrequency() module would pull the exact same data, but parse it differently
The debugger works differently on read/write to the eeprom. The next example shown below used the function setArts('OFF'), the function which tunrs arts off.
[FT817]@/dev/ttyUSB0$ set arts off (eepromDecode:DEBUG) - READING FROM ------> [00x79] (eepromDecode:DEBUG) - PACKET BUILT ------> [00790000BB] (eepromDecode:DEBUG) - OUTPUT HEX -------> [81] (eepromDecode:DEBUG) - OUTPUT BIN -------> [10000001] (writeEeprom:DEBUG) - OUTPUT FROM [00x79] (writeEeprom:DEBUG) - PACKET BUILT ------> [00790000BB] (writeEeprom:DEBUG) - BYTE1 (81) BYTE2 (1F) from [00x79] (writeEeprom:DEBUG) - BYTE1 BINARY IS [10000001] (writeEeprom:DEBUG) - CHANGING BIT(0) to (0) (writeEeprom:DEBUG) - BYTE1: BINARY IS [00000001] AFTER CHANGE (writeEeprom:DEBUG) - CHECKING IF [1] needs padding (writeEeprom:DEBUG) - Padded to [01] (writeEeprom:DEBUG) - BYTE1 (01) BYTE2 (1F) to [00x79] (writeEeprom:DEBUG) - WRITING ----------> (01) (1F) (writeEeprom:DEBUG) - PACKET BUILT ------> [0079011fBC] (writeEeprom:DEBUG) - VALUES WRITTEN, CHECKING... (writeEeprom:DEBUG) - SHOULD BE: (01) (1F) (writeEeprom:DEBUG) - IS: -----> (01) (1F) (writeEeprom:DEBUG) - VALUES MATCH!!! ARTS set to OFF sucessfull!
The output shows all of the transactions and modifications conducted by the system functions
$agree = $FT817->agreeWithwarning(#); Turns on and off the internal flag that says. You undrstand the risks of writing to the EEPROM Activated when any value is in the (). Good practice says () or (1) for OFF and ON. Returns the argument sent to it on success.
$output = $FT817->bitCheck(); The function that checks the BITWATCHER hash for changes and throws an Alarm if a change is found showing what the change is. The BITWATCHER hash is hard coded in FT817COMM.pm as areas are discovered they are removed from the hash. If an alarm is thrown, look at what function was done in the history log and output log to figure out why the value was changed [FT817]@/dev/ttyUSB0/:$ bitcheck CHANGE FOUND IN MEMORY AREA [0055]: BIT 4 is 0, WAS 1 If it finds no changes, it will return the following [FT817]@/dev/ttyUSB0/:$ bitcheck NO CHANGES FOUND Returns 'OK' when no change found, 'CHANGE' when a change was found
$output = $FT817->boundryCheck([BAND],[FREQUENCY]); $output = $FT817->boundryCheck('14m','14.070'); This is an internal function to check if a frequency is in the correct range for the Band given.

Using file along with a file name writes the output to a file. It's a good idea to keep a copy of this in case the eeprom gets corrupted and the radio factory defaults. If you dont have this information, you will have to send the radio back to the company for recalibration.

The EEPROM doesnt write everytime you turn the clarifer adjustment. When using the CAT command to set the CLARIFIERFREQ this value will not update, only when set directly in the VFO mem will it show a live update If you have never used the QMB/MTQMB option on the radio, the memory addresses will show garbled data. Its simply easier to first send some arbitrary data to the channels in the radio by following the instructions on manual page 44. This is not a requirment, if you dont use QMB or MTQMB you do not need to do this.

$status = $FT817->rebuildSoftcal([filename]); This command is used to reload all of the software calibration settings for the FT817 in the event that either the software calibration had become corrupted, or a master reset was needed for the rig. This reload uses the FT817OS 'cal' file format to reload data. If you did not backup your cal settings then this will be of little use and the rig will have to go to the factory to be recalibrated. You can call the command without an argument to use the default file name FT817.cal The cal file must be in the directory where you are running the program which calls it. The program will ensure the file exists, and the data is correct before it attempts to write it to the Eeprom. If it finds an error it will tell you what line of the cal file produced the error and stop. Note that this will start writing data if the cal file is error free and not provide any user prompt Returns 0 on sucessfull write of the 76 bytes Returns 1 on Error

my $option = $FT817->writeMemory('[HOME]', '[BAND]', '[OPTION]','[VALUE]'); my $option = $FT817->writeMemory('[MEM]','[1-200/M-PL/M-PU]', '[OPTION]','[VALUE]'); my $option = $FT817->writeMemory('[QMB]','[OPTION]','[VALUE]'); Writes settings to the memory area given HOME [BAND] and an Option and value. Writes settings to the memory area given MEM [1-200/M-PL/M-PU] and an Option and value. Writes settings to the memory area given QMB and an Option and value. This is only for regular memory's and not the VFO Memories. Valid options: MODE - Sets the mode in memory - update only appears after toggling the VFO NARFM - Sets if Narrow FM os ON or OFF NARCWDIG - Sets if the CW or Digital Mode is on Narrow RPTOFFSET - Sets the Repeater offset TAG - Sets the radio display to show label or frequency LABEL - Sets the 8 character label for memory area MEMSKIP - Sets if the memory area is skipped on scan or not TONEDCS - Sets type type of tone being used ATT - Sets if ATT is on if applicable. IPO - Sets if IPO is on if applicable. FMSTEP - Sets the setting for FM STEP in KHZ AMSTEP - Sets the setting for AM STEP in KHZ SSBSTEP - Sets the setting for SSB STEP in KHZ CTCSSTONE - Sets the CTCSS Tone DCSCODE - Sets the DCS Code CLARIFIER - Sets the CLARIFIER on or off CLAROFFSET - Sets the polarity and offset frequency of the clarifier RXFREQ - Sets the stored Receive Frequency RPTOFFSETFREQ - Sets the stored Repeater offset Frequency The UHF / HF/VHF and FREQ RANGE options are set automatically by the RXFREQ option and should not be manually set If you have never used the QMB/MTQMB option on the radio, the memory addresses will show garbled data. Its simply easier to first send some arbitrary data to the channels in the radio by following the instructions on manual page 44. This is not a requirment, if you dont use QMB or MTQMB you do not need to do this. Never used memory addresses will be automatically formatted with the correct data when the memory area is activated Using a built in function within writeMem That checks for the ready bit within that area.
