CW daemon USB serial dead end

Hello,

I am not sure if you are the right address for this question, but since I use CQRLOG dearly, maybe you could help me out with it.
I have a cw contest coming and I wanted to make and use a keyer. cwdaemon looked the simplest. Since i don't have a classical serial port i used a FT232 chip module for usb-rs232. However, cwdaemon is not working with it it says no valid device /dev/ttyUSB1. and there is so little information online about cwdaemon.

Is there any other solution to use with cqrlog with a simple circuit or something else.

Thank you in advance and hope for some answer.

Hello! Try calling cwdaemon to specify ttyUSB without /dev: /usr/sbin/cwdaemon -d ttyUSB1

Thank you but it doesn't make

Thank you but it doesn't make a difference. The DTR pin is always high and nothing changes. Maybe I don't know how to setup the port. Please, ra0do if you have experience with cwdaemon hardware, please share.

Thanks in advance

You didn't specify what transceiver you have. I have FT-897 and Unicom-4.2 interface (https://cloud.mail.ru/public/kw84/VsYbmgWHM). One port is used for CAT and CW/PTT. I start cwdaemon like this: /usr/sbin/cwdaemon -d ttyUSB0 -s 18 -x n --port=6789.

Run rigctld: /usr/bin/rigctld -m 1043 -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -t 4532 -s 38400 --ptt-type=RTS --set-conf=data_bits=8, stop_bits=2, serial_parity=None, serial_handshake=None, dtr_state=OFF, rts_state=OFF.
That is: dtr_state=OFF.

Maybe this information will help you.

Finally a solution. I had to

Finally a solution. I had to set cwdaemon with an argument -x s, or -x n so cwdaemon. Apparently if you don't set the -x argument, it doesn't send pulses to the pin.

Btw. I have Yaesu FT-767GX and the cat cable I bought doesn't have RTS or DTR pins, so I started using other usb port.

I hope that somebody will find this solution usefull. And thank you RA0DO for this last cwdaemon argument lists so I could try the -x argument.

Thanks again and GL 73
