I tried editing DEVICE to ttyS0, the serial port that handles the Orion's serial cable, but this had no apparent effect on Xlog's keyer behavior.


Your answer is right there in front of you. At boot the default device is parport0 or for MS users the parallel port. You need to edit this line as root to default to your desired port. If its com1 then this has to read ttyS0. Xlog with cwdaemon works well. There is more inforamtion not only in the docs, but the man pages as well.

Ed, as I wrote, I did edit DEVICE to ttyS0 with no effect. I have read every doc, README, TODO, changelog, etc. document that I can find using a file search for "cwdaemon," and have either tried what is suggested without success, or do not understand what is advised. (man cwdaemon duplicates information from one of the readme's, as far as I can tell.) If your Xlog and cwdaemon "works well" with the O2, please tell us about your connection and your software edits!

Dave, I think you're right... my reading of the O2 manual is that external keying is done through the Aux/IO cable and the computer's sound card.

Jerry, thanks for your comment... there are schematics for both parallel and serial port cwdaemon connections among the documentation. I've looked at them, but I was hoping it wouldn't be necessary to build one of these devices. Maybe it is. I'm still looking forward to having someone who actually keys his O2 using Xlog to explain how he does it.
