Motors not turning after software updates

[esoc_cyb]

Hi. I have updated the operating system with sudo apt update and then sudo apt upgrade and now have:
uname -a Linux raspberrypi48 5.10.11-v7+ #1399 SMP Thu Jan 28 12:06:05 GMT 2021 armv7l

I used sudo satnogs-setup to update everything there:
Satnogs-client-ansible-202012231828, satnogs-client-1.4, satnogs-flowgraphs-1.3-1

I looked through the instructions on https://wiki.satnogs.org/SatNOGS_Client_Setup#Advanced_Setup
but I do not see a ttyACM0 in my devices folder /dev

The motors no longer turn if I setup a pass on the satnogs web page.

sudo rotctl -m 204 -s 19200 -r /dev/ttyAMA0 -vvvv gives me:

Can anyone see any errors in my settings that is stopping the motors turning?

Incidently if I move the pulley belt so that the position is away from the end stop and power up rotator controller board (V2) the arduino correctly sends the motors to the end stop position.

I had a further look and it seems to be to do with a ethernet driver for Port 1 rather than the CP21x driver I need for the USB-TTL interface board that is between the Raspberry Pi and the Satnogs Rotator Controller Board. Not sure how I change this in Satnogs-Setup.

lsusb -t

I had to fix an issue after the upgrade, I’m using a DCU-1 rotator but this may work for you.

I set the SATNOGS_ROT_MODEL to NETROTCTL and SATNOGS_ROT_BAUD (mine matches the DCU-1). In the SATNOGS_ROT_PORT I configured this to send commands to localhost:4533 not the /dev/tty port (mine was /dev/USB0 so not sure if this will work the same for you).

I did the same as you and set the HAMLIB_UTILS_ROT_ENABLE to True which starts the rotctl daemon (I used reboot to stop and start services after applying changes).

Thanks.

I tried your suggested setup changes:

SATNOGS_ROT_PORT:localhost:4533
HAMLIB_UTILS_ROT_ENABLED:True
HAMLIB_UTILS_ROT_OPTS :-m 204 -s 4800 -r /dev/ttyAMA0 -C timeout=200
In satnogs-setup I noticed the Hamlib fields have a asterix by them, not sure if this signifies an error or unacceptable value?

Anyway after a reboot still the same - no motor movement under satnogs web control and similar error if I try running Rotator control from the command line.

The motor control has worked and seemed to stop after the software update but I will also try some hardware checks. Maybe the arduino did not like the cold temperatures, snow ice and rain lately and has got damaged or corrupted despite quite a good double housing.

ok,I see you used 4800 baud whereas you need 19200 on yours, try the 19200 baud and not 4800 as that is what my rotator controller accepts. Don’t forget to reboot after applying changes. The asterix just means you’ve changed the config from the default settings

[esoc_cyb]

Hi thanks. I tried with 19200, still the same results.
It seems to be to do with the the raspberry pi not seeing the CP2101 USB-TTL interface board and the Satnogs Rotator Controller Board (V2) behind it. I checked the three voltages on the controller board 19V in, 12V and 5V regulated with a voltmeter they are ok. I checked the 4 wires between the TTL out of the CP2101 board and the input of the Satnogs Controller Board for continuity with a meter and they are ok. So I am still fairly certain its a software problem. As mentioned before if I move the axis away from their end stop the arduino sends them back to their 0 position so the end stop detectors and motor drive logic seems ok.

With no USB devices plugged in if I do lsusb somewhat confusingly the Raspberry Pi shows 4 devices (on Port 1):
lsusb
Bus 001 Device 009: ID 0424:7800 Standard Microsystems Corp.
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:2514 Standard Microsystems Corp. USB 2.0 Hub

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

If I plug in RTL SDR stick I get 5 devices:
lsusb
Bus 001 Device 020: ID 0bda:2838 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL2838 DVB-T
Bus 001 Device 009: ID 0424:7800 Standard Microsystems Corp.

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

lsusb -t shows the RTL stick is on port 3
/: Bus 01.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=dwc_otg/1p, 480M
|__ Port 1: Dev 2, If 0, Class=Hub, Driver=hub/4p, 480M

|__ Port 3: Dev 20, If 0, Class=Vendor Specific Class, Driver=, 480M
|__ Port 3: Dev 20, If 1, Class=Vendor Specific Class, Driver=, 480M

If I plug in the CP2101 aswell, lsusb it still only shows 5 devices:
Bus 001 Device 020: ID 0bda:2838 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL2838 DVB-T
Bus 001 Device 009: ID 0424:7800 Standard Microsystems Corp.
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:2514 Standard Microsystems Corp. USB 2.0 Hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:2514 Standard Microsystems Corp. USB 2.0 Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Is there another simple command to talk to the CP2101 and Satnogs Controller Board to test things out?

Regards
Mark

Its working now. The CP2102 TTY-USB board had failed.
lsusb with rtlsdr and new cp2102 USB devices plugged in:
