First of all I’m not a command line person. Trying to install Universal Ham Radio Remote program on the pi.

Were do I go from here I’m stuck Thanks KD4DN Allen

I made what seemed to be a successful installation following the instruction labeled "example of complete installation" on the web. I followed the instruction exactly and everything seemed to go well.
However, when I started the execution, the response was:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Any advice?

[kt4wo]

Is this project still viable ?? And will this run on a Pi2B?? or do I
need the Pi3 and up??
Looking forward to trying this out!!
Thanks de Trip - KT4WO

[F4HTB]

Hello,

Is this project still viable ??
=>If by viable you mean it works like proof of concept, yes.
Lot of people download and try every days but i have only few feedback on real operation.
But remember that this is an open source project and that I don't have many contributors...

And will this run on a Pi2B?? or do I need the Pi3 and up??
=>I only test and dev on a pi4 for this project.
It seems that on a pc it works but an rpi3 seems at the limit.

Looking forward to trying this out!!
Thanks de Trip - KT4WO

Hello I personally have no luck with it. Its been a year since I tried it. I tried loading it on a pi4. Looks like it’s a well written program . I’m by no means a pi person. But I was able to load and run most of the pi programs for digital work.

Hey Olivier, That's great! Right now I am working with Simon - DJ2LS on the FreeDATA "alpha" testing. I cannot code but am OK testing stuff, so when I get some time maybe I can jump in and start testing/running UHRR. I have ALL the RPi's so will start with the 3B and work my way up. Thanks for your work on the software!! I am a huge fan of FOSS software for Amateur Radio. Trip - KT4WO EM85ii

1. I installed the UHRR software according to directions in Example of complete Installation. However, when I issued the Run code section:
   cd ~/Universal_HamRadio_Remote_HTML5
   PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH ./UHRR

I received an error stating it couldn't find Hamlib. I noticed that the version of python was updated to python3.9. I changed the PYTHONPATH to reflect that version and the web page successfully started.
2. A command window on the Rpi shows the server activity. I am using an Android smartphone with a Chrome browser and can connect successfully to my Icom IC-7410 transceiver. The on screen controls all seem to work okay but when I press the Tx button, the radio does not respond and the command window repeats "overrun" and if I stop Tx and press it again then it actually puts the rig in transmit mode and the command window shows: "Send to all: getPTT:True. The lower right corner of the screen shows latency. When the overrun occurs the latency is up over 1500ms. Most of the time it is around 50 ms. Is there any adjustments that can be made to stop that? I'm using my local wireless on the phone and am setting right next to the access point.
3. I'd like to use the app to talk to my 2 meter radio. The audio connection would be to just use a USB Audio dongle on the pi, but how do I get PTT? I'd like to use one of the GPIO lines on the pi to control PTT on the radio.

F4HTB - This is a fantastic bit of code, I was looking to go down the similar route (A Hamlib based web service interface, but using an Angular frontend ) and so I had started to look at tornado as the interface between Hamlib and a python async/react web service provider. Looks like you have, been there and done a lot of this already :) .

Who can help me please!

[Balaganoff]

I'll answer myself. Maybe it will be useful to someone else.
This is my way with RP3 + Pi OS 64-bit (Debian 12 Bookworm) +FT 817. In the end, everything works. Below I provide a step-by-step instruction.

Many thanks to the author for the work done!

# 📌 UHRR Setup Guide: Universal Ham Radio Remote

## 1. Install System Dependencies
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y \
    git python3 python3-pip python3-numpy python3-tornado \
    python3-serial python3-pyaudio rtl-sdr \
    libasound2-dev python3-dev \
    libopus-dev libtool autoconf automake swig \
 

## 2. Remove Conflicting Hamlib Versions
# Clean up any manually compiled Hamlib to avoid conflicts
sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/rigctl
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/libhamlib.*
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/Hamlib*
sudo ldconfig

## 3. Install System Hamlib (from apt)
# Use Debian's stable version instead of git or PyPI
sudo apt install -y hamlib-utils python3-hamlib

## 4. Install Python Packages
# Required for audio, SDR, WebSocket, and control
pip install --break-system-packages \
    tornado opuslib pyalsaaudio pyrtlsdr pyserial pam

## 5. Clone the Project
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/F4HTB/Universal_HamRadio_Remote_HTML5.git
cd ~/Universal_HamRadio_Remote_HTML5

## 6. Set Permissions & Latency Timer
# Add user to dialout for serial access, set low latency for FTDI
sudo usermod -aG dialout,plugdev,audio $USER
echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb-serial/devices/ttyUSB0/latency_timer

## 7. Reboot
# Required for group changes and latency_timer to take effect
sudo reboot

## 8. Verify Devices
# Check if devices are accessible
ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0                    # Should be owned by dialout
python3 -c "import alsaaudio; print(alsaaudio.pcms())"  # List audio devices
rtl_test -t                           # Test RTL-SDR

## 9. Configure UHRR.conf
# Edit UHRR.conf to match your hardware
# [HAMLIB]
# rig_pathname = /dev/ttyUSB0
# rig_rate = 38400
# rig_model = FT817
#
# [AUDIO]
# inputdevice = plughw:CARD=Device,DEV=0
# outputdevice = plughw:CARD=Device,DEV=0

## 10. Run UHRR
# Start the server
./UHRR

## 11. Troubleshooting
# Use these commands if UHRR fails to start or connect

# Kill old processes
killall python3 pulseaudio || true
sudo rmmod dvb_usb_rtl28xxu || true
pulseaudio --kill && pulseaudio --start

# Test Hamlib import
python3 -c "import Hamlib; print(Hamlib.RIG_MODEL_FT817)"
# Expected output: 1020

# Test rigctl communication
rigctl -m 1020 -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 38400 f
# Should return current frequency

Hello Dear, Thank you very much, your feedback is greatly appreciated. It's through participation that the project can evolve. With your permission, I will use your information to complete a future installation wiki page. 73 F4HTB. Le 03/09/2025 à 09:34, Balaganoff a écrit :

Hi, Olivier!
Of course, I don't mind! Use my information as you want and where you want! ;)
Thanks again for the interesting project! I wish it further development!
