Can't connect to my RSP1A (Linux, command line)
Posted: Sat Dec 02, 2017 4:22 pm
Hi,
I got my RSP1A (sn: 1712022793) two weeks ago. I installed SDRplay_RSP_API-Linux-2.11.1.run on my PC (Ubuntu 14.05 but I also tried on a newer version).
However, (this may vary but I always get an error somewhere)
I found some code on this community forum called 'rawIQ' which uses the API. It compiles nicely but
mir_sdr_init() is the first call to the API and the error code 7 is (according to SDRplay_SDR_API_Specification.pdf (2.11)) is mir_sdr_HwError.
I also tried SoapySDR (also builds nicely) as suggested somewhere else :
Am I missing something? I tried with 2 different USB cables (about 5 feet long...). I ordered a shorter one. Could it be critical?
Any other idea?
Thank you,
