I have flrig installed on a raspberry pi running bookworm. Also installed is wsjtx. They work great together with flrig connected to my Yaesu ftdx3000 and sending receiving data to and from wsjtx.
I have log4om on a laptop running win 10, this receives logged contacts from wsjtx on the pi no problem. I can also setup wsjtx and mshv and sstv on my laptop and all will connect to flrig on the raspberry pi without a problem. BUT I cannot get any CAT control on log4om from flrig on the pi. I have read and tried all the posts on this forum....I think. I have been trying for 2 days.
The log seems to show that log4om is trying to make the connection with hamlib and the pi is refusing it as I guess hamlib is not running, Is flrig supposed to start it?
I am trying to start the connection on port 12345 which flrig is listening to but the log shows it just trying port 4532 which is the hamlib port.??

CAT control with flrig not working Raspberry Pi
Re: CAT control with flrig not working
Re-read everything, tried everything still not working, is it something to do with bullseye os? Other programmes will connect on my LAN through flrig flrig stable but not log40m. Help please 

Re: CAT control with flrig not working
Many more hours wasted, I now have log4om displaying vfo A and B frequencies, but I cannot alter them from log4om, when I hover the mouse over the freq displays it turns to a hand with finger pointing but does nothing. The display follows the radio correctly.
I got this working by issuing /usr/bin/rigctld -m 4 -s 38400 in a terminal on the raspberry pi, which I think has started hamlib rigctld connected to radio model 4 which is flrig.
Its still not working correctly if anybody can help please, but nearly there.

I added 'Raspberry Pi' to the topic name so hopefully it will attract more relevant attention for you.
