vielen Dank für den Link. Download hat funktioniert

Hi Mike,

it seems that the above link to your google drive is not working.

Please could you check it and send me an info how I can get the software image?

Hi Rudi,

concrates to the running Pluto!

Remote control of your PC from outside is easy with AnyDesk, but I have no idea how to connect the mike with the remote PC. Maybe someone in this forum can tell us how to do remote operation with the SDRconsole.

So far I haven't found a useful concept for it.

Hi Rudi,

try it with Port:80 and enter the data for Converter and Bandwidth, as in my screenshot

something else:
- did you release the firewall in windows for SDRconsole?

- is the IP of the Pluto the same as the IP in the SDRconsole?
- does your PC have a fixed IP in the range 192.168.0.xxx?

- what happens if you connect the ethernet controller on pluto directly to the pc?

Hi Rudi,

what you mean by "it's not working"?

for comparison here is my SDRconsole start menu:

I got some from AliExpress. Really cheap:

https://www.aliexpress.com/ite…r_list.0.0.21ef1802O8ivCt

send me your address via email to mail(at)dj7th.de and I'll send one by post.

I'm using the same in my PlutoBox (see my pages on qrz.com)

I suspect that the ethernet controller has a problem somehow.
Do you have another controller with the chipset 81xx?
If not I could send you one of mine.

ok, I see.

It seems to be an ethernet controller problem.

Can you connect it directly to Plutos USB-Port and sypply the Pluto with 5V via the second USB-Port?

Pluto then switch the 5V to the USB-Port of the etherent controller and you dont need an OTG cable.

I'm using this cheap ethernet controller:

Hi Rudi,

what happens if you try to connect the IP of your Pluto via a browser?

Then you should see the start page of the firmware.

Hi Rudi,

can you see the IP of your Pluto with a Network Scanner?

I'm using the SoftPerfect Network Scanner.

Hi Rudi,

please check what chip is inside of your ethernet adapter.

More info about the supported chip types see here:

To modify the config.txt of my Pluto I'm using the firmware of F5OEO Version 0303 and my Internet browser, calling the IP of my Pluto.

Then select "System" - "Setup" - "Pluto Settings".

There is a short description:

This section read and save the "/mnt/jffs2/etc/config.txt" file. Take care of your modifications before applying them. Some modifications may make your equipment inaccessible from the network. To apply, please reboot (control button further down the page).

At least "Apply Settings" and "Reboot" the Pluto.

That's all.

Hope this could help.

I received several DATV stations with 33kS or 25kS using my homemade MiniTiouner Pro V2

Hi Roberto, I need your help.

I installed the firmware F5OEO version 0303 on a brand new Pluto Rev C/D and then your patch 2.1. Everything works fine except for the PTT control.
In the SDR console, the PTT switches perfectly, but not in DATV mode.

The PTT-tick is set and PTT switches to red, but the GPO port is not set.
I have the same problem with another Pluto of the same version.
What am I doing wrong here?

Addendum:
I don't know if this is important.
Both Pluto run on an external 50MHz clock.

Hi Chris,

as you can see in the SG-Lab data sheet, the vox already works with 1mW input, so it only needs a low level to switch PTT. Your CN0417 module with approx. 20dB ampli generates a maximum of 50mW from the approx. 2mW of Pluto, which has been attenuated by 6dB. This is perfectly sufficient to fully drive the PA. Depending on the transmitting antenna used, the level on the QO-100 is much too high and the Leila is activated. Here you should set the maximum levels for Gain, Drive, etc. accordingly in the settings "Transmit - Options - Audio-in - Gains".

I hope this is of some help, if Mr. Google translated everything correctly

Which type of SG Lab PA you are using?

Hi Rüdiger,

that works only with the MiniTiouner version with 2 USB ports. I have planned this in my replica of the MiniTiouner by Jean-Pierre F6DZP, but unfortunately the announced software-update from F6DZP is still not available.

Hi,

has someone tested the connections TX2 and RX2 in Rev D and if so, how and with what software?

AD writes:

The 2nd Rx / Tx channel internal to the rev D is not test during production test. If it works - bonus! If it doesn't work; Pluto is only advertised as a 1 Rx, 1 Tx radio, and that is guaranteed / production tested on each unit - and that is what you received.

here my config.txt with a fix LAN-IP 192.168.0.25 and Router IP 192.168.0.1 (FritzBox)

I hope this could help:

[NETWORK]

hostname = pluto

ipaddr = 192.168.0.25

ipaddr_host = 192.168.0.1

netmask = 255.255.255.0

[WLAN]

ssid_wlan =

pwd_wlan =

ipaddr_wlan =

[USB_ETHERNET]

ipaddr_eth = 192.168.0.12

[SYSTEM]

[ACTIONS]

If you are interested, the extensive changes can be read in the file releasenote.txt (see attachment).

One of the improvements that I am personally enthusiastic about is the option of sending the data directly from the spectrum shown to my Minitiouner (see picture)

Hi to all,

F5OEO has finished his new DATV firmware version 0201 for the Pluto.

Many thanks to Evariste F5OEO and all contributors.
