Re: How do i configure my microphone Hardware on my g-2
also unable to access p2p
Re: How do i configure my microphone Hardware on my g-2
Microphone settings are controlled by the client software, either piHPSDR or Thetis. Just go into the setup portion of either program. Any questions about how to use piHPSDR or Thetis are best addressed in the piHPSDR and Thetis sections of this forum.
What do you mean "unable to access"? The guidance in the draft User Guide might be helpful.
Since you are among the first to actually receive a G2, it would probably be interesting for everyone to know what software configuration you got out of the box from Apache. Did you get the front panel version? When it powers up does it automatically run piHPSDR? What shortcuts are present on the Linux desktop? What version of Raspian OS is loaded? 32 or 64 bit? Screenshots would be cool to see.

Ed,
Section 3.5 in the manual covers connecting to Thetis from the PiHPSDR desktop. Is that where you are experiencing problems?

Re: How do i configure my microphone Hardware on my g-2
As Scott said, the mic settings are made in Thetis exactly as they are for earlier hardware. It's hard to know what problem you are having - you haven't told us what you have tried.
"recover the P2P function so i can start Thetis"
I don't know what this means - why does it need to recover, and from what. The p2app application should be set to autorun at startup (I haven't seen a factory spec radio so I can't confirm that). There is some useful information in the manual that may help.
I assume you have connected an ethernet cable and plugged it into your network. Thetis should discover it from there.
The manual section for Thetis says:
To use Thetis, you will need your radio connected to the same network as the PC you will run Thetis from.
Once your radio is running (from the steps in section 3.3) you are ready to run Thetis.
1. On the G2 with display, close piHPSDR and Launch the p2app from the desktop by double clicking on it.
2. On G2 with NO display this does not need to be done and the p2app will launch automatically on startup.
3. Start Thetis as normal on your chosen PC
4. Click Setup -> HW Select on the menu.
5. Select Radio Model to Anan-G2
6. Click OK
7. Start Thetis using its on/off button. It will discover and connect to your radio.
There is a manual for Thetis available here:

There is a later version of the Thetis Manual, I don't remember where I found it but it's attached to this post.

Re: How do i configure my microphone Hardware on my g-2
i have thetis application on my other monitor and computer set to on ethernet cable from my pc to G2
I click on P2P nothing happens , if i open it it ask me if i want to excute the file or open it or run in terminal
I get an error on all 3 failed to execute child process xterm(no Such Directory)
does this make more sense Laurence?

Re: How do i configure my microphone Hardware on my g-2
when i turn on the g2 from cold start it boots up in Pihdsdr. i go to close it and then proceed to click on the p2p icon, there are two on my desk top one with a paper plane icon and aregular P2p icon, i click or double click on the p2p icon, I then proceed to load my Thetis program
i click start and Thetis does not find the G-2

Re: How do i configure my microphone Hardware on my g-2
I'm guessing here, because I haven't see the exact software load.... but my guess is the desktop shortcut to p2app points to the wrong location.
This would be a lot easier to help with if I knew exactly what files were loaded where, so I'll have to ask some questions to work through this.
What I don't understand is why you need to click it in the first place; it should already be running. It's not in a window so you can't see it (we'll come back to that in a moment)
It would help if you can confirm, line by line, the results of these tests please
1. You have connected a network cable
2. If you open a web browser (the "world" like icon on the top left of the taskbar) you can visit web pages as normal. (that tells us the network connection works)
3. Open a command window (it is the dark icon on the task bar with ">_")
4. type pwd and let us know what it says. mine says "/home/pi"
5. type ps -ax | grep p2app and let us know what it says (mine lists one instance of p2app running, ./p2app)
6. type ls and tell us if you have a gitlab folder
7. assuming you have:
8. type cd gitlab/Saturn/sw_projects/P2_app
9. type ./p2app to run the program
10. if that doesn't work, can you type ls and tell us what the directory listing is please?
11. If there isn't a file "p2app" but there is "p2app.c": type make then after it has finished, re-run ./p2app and tell us what happens

Can you take a screen shot of the console? By the sound of what you are saying I suspect the p2app is running in the background it should have an PID number of the process if this is the case then that app is running.

If my assumptions are right, you can kill that process with kill -9 PID-NUMBER and try to start the app again from the desktop. Ignore otherwise.

Re: How do i configure my microphone Hardware on my g-2
OK: you have a radio WITH a front panel display. We didn't know that and it makes a difference.
p2app isn't autoloaded if you have a front panel display, so it DOES need to be run.
there's probably no point continuing with ps -ax, as p2app won't be running.
Can you do steps 6-11 please?

Re: How do i configure my microphone Hardware on my g-2
I agree, it's not very clear.... it is a lower case L. Linux is case sensitive, so it matters. "ls" does a directory listing. What I'm trying to find out is whether you have a folder github
and inside it a folder Saturn
and inside it a folder sw_projects
and inside it a folder P2_app
and then the list of files in that folder
your file browser might help too!
you can use the command cd to change to a different folder.
cd ~ will take you back to the home folder.

OK, the folder is where I thought it would be
type cd github/Saturn/sw_projects/P2_app
type ./p2app
type cd github/Saturn/sw_projects/P2_app
type ./p2app

Re: How do i configure my microphone Hardware on my g-2
OK, you now have p2app running.
Try Thetis again
when you want to exit p2app, type exit <enter> (the characters are not echoed back)
I'll send another post in a moment about checking the desktop icons

Re: How do i configure my microphone Hardware on my g-2
Checking the Saturn desktop icons: I'm guessing this is where the problem lies
Right click on the p2app desktop icon and select Properties
A form with 3 tabs opens up
The 1st tab just gives some information
Click the 2nd tab – Permissions
Owner and group should both say pi
View content: should say Anyone
Change content: should say Only owner
Execute: should say Anyone
Click the 3rd tab – desktop entry
Command should say: /home/pi/github/Saturn/sw_projects/P2_app/p2app
Execute in terminal emulator – ticked
Keep terminal window open after command execution - ticked
Working directory should say: /home/pi/github/Saturn/sw_projects/P2_app
Description – blank
Tooltip: Saturn protocol 2 server
Use startup notification – unticked
Press OK to make any changes
Be aware the path names are case sensitive!
