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.

Bump topic - still no joy getting it to work / no repsonse.... help ???

Hello all!
Dear admins!

I would also like to know the reason why E-coder (s) is not working on UBUNTU?

UBUNTU or ESDR2 problem?

It is not life and death emergency, but please let us know! (I have dual boot W10/UBUNTU PC so.... )

thank you in advance! заранее спасибо!

Hi, Pibo.
By default Linux does not allow access to USB devices, to use them (including E-Coder) you need to enter the following lines when the system starts:
sudo chmod 664 /dev/hidraw*
sudo chgrp plugdev /dev/hidraw*

Great support Rome!

I will try and report ...

HNY and al the best!

WORKING!
I am impressed!
I always was sure that EXPERT ELECTRONICS is firm you can trust!

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"

Hey, does any of you know how to do this on Fedora?

by manually updating supplied installation script.
Just note that ESDR3 supports Ubuntu 22.04 x64 only, before you start.

Thanks, you got me on the right track.

This works in Fedora:
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1fc9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0004", MODE="0664", TAG+="uaccess"
