    "content": "Hello Gordon\n\nThank you for your comments.\n\nIn case you didn't know it, the original manufacturers for the FCD pulled\nout one day _after_ they were due to deliver to me. That has meant that\nrather than having time to fully document the API and provide a full\ninterface, I have had to build the Dongles myself. I have now built over 100\nunits, placing over 10,000 parts, since mid December, while doing a day job\ntoo, in order to keep up to my promise of having devices available before\nChristmas. I hope that puts the position into some kind of context for you.\nAll this information is freely available on the website.\n\n> Okay, but how can we write software for it without access to the spec\n> for the chip?\n\nIn the meantime, other people have already had success writing software for\nLinux, including both getting the Qt source to work and writing their own\nHID interface for Hamlib using the source code I provided plus the\ndocumentation on the API I provided on the website. \n\n> There *are* sample programs, but none of them appear to build in Linux.\n> Maybe I'm missing something.  I got somewhere with the Qt version, but\n> it moans about libusb not being installed.  Why it can't see libusb\n> sitting there happily in /lib/ is beyond me.\n\nMy notes tell me that from a vanilla Ubuntu 10.10 install, you need g++ and\nlibusb-1.0-0-dev.\n\nAs I have explained I am pretty much a newbie to programming for Linux, and\nI pretty much had to start from scratch and produce an application in three\nweeks. If you don't like it, others have found that there is sufficient\ninformation for them to write their own stuff. If there's something you\nspecifically can't figure out, you can always ask.\n\n> Well, if it uses class-compliant devices then great - that *does* make\n> it all a bit easier.  \n\nIt is. That was specifically part of the design criteria very early on, and\nit's another one of those USPs, and is well documented as a feature.\n\n> Well, if the software doesn't run in Linux then people won't use it in\n> Linux.  If there was enough documentation to let me write software to\n> support it, then I'd buy one as soon as they next became available.\n\nNot sure what to say here, it _does_ run in Linux. There is API\ndocumentation on the website. Yes I would like to enhance the documentation,\nbut this has not stopped others. I had a choice of delaying the promised\ndelivery date spending the time only improving the firmware, documentation\nand software. In the end, during the time I worked on the all those three\n_and_ made the boards, although compromises had to be made under the\ncircumstances when the manufacturer pulled out, which I freely accept, and I\nhope that you can try to understand.\n\nI hope this clarifies the situation. \n\nNow, back to making Dongles....\n \n73, Howard G6LVB\n\n\n\n",
