Rig Remote F.A.Q. page

Rig Remote is misbehaving, what can I do ?

  1. Search on the mailing list archives if the same behavior is already reported. Ideally if it is a bug we have an issue on github for addressing it.
  2. Check on the issues pages, look for issues labeled as bugs: https://goo.gl/npHuH4 or the issues labeled as feature request https://goo.gl/ZJS9f1

At this point you need to inform us of a new unexpected behavior. Here is what we would like:

  1. if possible, try to reproduce the problem running Rig Remote from the console with the -v flag
  2. capture the backtrace, if any, that Rig Remote is providing to you
  3. Create an issue on GitHub at https://tinyurl.com/lnzdyc7 and provide us the platform/OS you are using, rig (software or hardware) you are using, the hardware (RaspberryPy, x86, ARM, other) you are using.
  4. Moreover, if your rig-remote release provides config_checker.py, please execute python ./config_checker.py -d and paste the output in the issue.

I want the feature X to be included in Rig Remote, what can I do ?

  1. check in the mailing list archive if there is already a similar request.
  2. check on the issues labeled as feature request if there is something similar: https://goo.gl/ZJS9f1
  3. post a message in the mailing list
