Hi All,

I've recently transitioned my SunSDR2 Pro setup to Linux - Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

I'm having trouble getting the E-Coder to work.

Ubuntu recognises it:

$ dmesg | grep E-Coder
[ 2.894774] usb 1-8.3: Product: E-Coder panel
[ 3.492192] hid-generic 0003:1FC9:0003.0008: hiddev3,hidraw5: USB HID v1.00 Device [EXPERT-ELECT E-Coder panel ] on usb-0000:00:14.0-8.3/input0

But ExpertSDR2 v1.2.0 doesn't. The "Panel" tab is there, and I can set the button functions, but nothing works..

Is there anything specific required to setup the E-Coder with Linux / Ubuntu ?

Regards, Peter.

sudo chgrp plugdev /dev/hidraw*

This is good solution and works ... until restart!

My solution is permanent, it is an udev entry. Copy the line
KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", MODE="0664", GROUP="plugdev"
and save it to file
99-hidraw-permissions.rules
This file must be located in
/etc/udev/rules.d/
Ensure that you are member of the "plugdev" group. Most users already are.

We both hit on the same solution, though with a difference. My UDEV rule identifies the /dev/hidraw device that the E-Coder is on, and sets group and permissions only for that one. It might not make any difference, but I feel more comfortable not changing them for other devices. Here's my rule:

SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0003", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1fc9",
SYMLINK+="expert_ecoder", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0664"
