OpenGD77

The possibility of having the entire firmware list available in the CPS is an EXCEPTIONAL function (yesterday for the 50mW bug I jumped from one version to another with extreme ease) ... you could also implement the loading of voice files with the same system (have the whole list of files available and choose what we need directly from the CPS?) ..... and finally also the update of the CPS directly from the CPS? ..... Thanks

Yes.

I already had the idea to make it easy to access the Voice Prompt files.

But at the moment I'm busy integrating the QuickKey's functionality sent by Alex DL4LEX , on 23rd July, and its now a complex process to combine Alex's submission, because the codebase has changed a lot in the last 3 months.

Ok...thanks Roger

New CPS version

https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/ ... 2020.11.07

Ian HJ0HF asked me for a feature to save the Downloaded firmware file, so that he could use it in the package for the blind Hams.

So I have added this feature.

When donloading the firmware in the CPS.

Press and hold the Shift key on the keyboard, before you click the "Download & Update" button
Select the version you want to save, and press the "Download and Update" on the "Select release version" screen.

After download is complete, a File Save popup will appear, and you can save the file.

Small update to the CPS

https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/ ... 0.11.08.01

Because the firmware version number is now 3 characters longer

I updated the CPS a couple of days ago, to fix a bug found by Colin G4EML in the way the Calibration screen displays the Reference Oscillator value

https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/ ... 0.12.13.01


Previously the CPS displayed the value as a positive number from 0 to 1023, as the oscillator control register is 10 bits binary.

However, Colin noticed that changing the value from 0 to 1023 does not clause a constant increase in the reference oscillator frequency.

Values from 0 to 511 do cause an increase, as expected. But suddenly when value is set to 512 it decreases a large amount.
Then increasing the value beyond 512 cause the value to increase again, so that the maximum value (1023) causes the reference oscillator to be just below the frequency when the value is set to 0

This is how a 10 bit "Signed" data value behaves. So I've now changed the CPS Calibration screen to display the Reference Oscillator value as a signed 10 bit number, rather than unsigned.

This will not make any difference to the function of the Calibration screen, apart from the way the Reference Oscillator tuning value is displayed

The CPS has been updated to add Czech language support.

Note. Japanese language support was added in the version on 24th December

https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/ ... 0.12.28.01

The CPS has been updated to allow Japanese operators to download the newly released Japanese version of the firmware

https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/ ... 0.12.29.01

There are no other changes

I've updated the CPS again to add full support for localisation (translation) of the OpenGD77 and Firmware loader screens

See

https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/ ... 1.01.01.01

This includes the ability to translate the text that the CPS sends to the radio during transfers, e.g. "CPS" "Reading" "Codeplug".
However one caveat, this does not work for accented characters, only 0-9 a-Z A-Z

Merci et bonne année 2021
