Hi, I have added another GS ( 1441) with an Adalm Pluto SDR.
SoapySDRUtil --probe=“driver=plutosdr” shows nicely the information about the Pluto. Including the PlutoSDR as device name.
However, I am trying to find what to enter in the satnogs-setup in the SATNOGS_SOAPY_RX_DEVICE field.
Can anyone point me to info about this ?
Thanks,
Ben
SATNOGS_SOAPY_RX_DEVICE is really just the very same ID that makes SoapySDRUtil find the correct device, in this case, “plutosdr” should just work.
You also need to specify an antenna even for devices that only have one antenna input. USe the same string that is printed by SoapySDRUtil --probe.
Full-duplex: YES
Supports AGC: YES
Stream formats: CS8, CS12, CS16, CF32
Native format: CS16 [full-scale=2048]
Antennas: A_BALANCED
Full gain range: [0, 73] dB
PGA gain range: [0, 73] dB
Now set the antenna to A_BALANCED and testing again. Thanks !
Still no luck so far…

Is there anything I can run manually to test if I can figure out the right / necessary settings ?
Thanks,
Ben
As @pierros just clarified in the other thread, SATNOGS_SOAPY_RX_DEVICE has to include the “driver” keyword, i.e. you have to use “driver=plutosdr” and not just “plutosdr” as I wrote in my first message.
Thanks,
the driver=plutosdr was allready the one I used.
Now tried:
driver=plutosdr,USB:1.3.5 also without luck.
Now trying
driver=plutosdr,uri=192.168.2.1
GA
interesting by this thread…must i do install pluto driver ?
thank
eric
F1SMV yes, I started here:
Don’t skip the dependencies part. In the end the detection of the device on the Raspberry Pi worked all ok, and Soapy server did run the Adalm Pluto as device on the Pi and I could connnect to it from Pothos SDR. Now only one small step 
Thank but libiio librairies are not update for Buster and dont want to install on raspi 4…may be soon…

still not getting any further. Not working:
driver=plutosdr
driver=pluto
dirver=plutosdr,hostname=192.168.2.1
driver=plutosdr,uri=usb:1.3.5
(output from SoapySDRUtil --find gives: Found device 0
device = plutosdr
driver = plutosdr
uri = usb:1.3.5 )
The same error appears for every of these settings I tried:
RuntimeError: SoapySDR::Device::make() no match
Apr 17 13:57:14 raspberrypi satnogs-client[10087]: satnogsclient.observer.observer - ERROR - No waterfall data file found
I am running out of ideas.
Anyone ?
Thanks,

Ok that’s nice! So all you have to do in your satnogs setup is to specify driver=plutosdr on the SATNOGS_SOAPY_RX_DEVICE field and A_BALANCED at the SATNOGS_ANTENNA field.
Everything else (sampling rate, gain, etc) it’s up to you.
Thanks, but that’s exactly what I did, and that throws the error " RuntimeError: SoapySDR::Device::make() no match "

Had to visudo a bit to be able to switch from user “pi” to user “satnogs” because of not knowing the passwordt for user “satnogs” but yes, I can run and it gives no errors.

Ok this is quite weird… Let’s run a flowgraph manually then!
sudo systemctl stop satnogs-client.service
rigctld
satnogs user a flowgraph. Eg: satnogs_cw_decoder.py --soapy-rx-device="driver=plutosdr" --rx-freq=433e6 --samp-rate-rx=2e6 --antenna=A_BALANCED
HI, thanks again for you time 
Running a flowgraph ends with the same “no match” error, please see below:
