[chirp_devel] Live mode questions

[Declan Rieb]

I’m starting on the CHIRP-to-radio writing programming on a live radio model. CHIRP seems to call set_memory for every possible change to the screen display of a memory.

Is there a way to defer writing until all changes have been made? With something like a “write the selected memory now” button, and using the “memory modified” flag that’s available in the live model. For that matter, can one request selective reads as well (as opposed to reading the whole radio).

I’m under the impression that the radio manufacturer would prefer to have as few write cycles as possible.


On another matter, is there a reasonable way to instantiate the data model that bitwise.parse can do in a live radio? I got really used to having symbolic access to bitfields in a clone-mode driver, and it might help with the live model as well. (Although NamedTuple and unpack()/pack() seem to be pretty easy to handle at the moment.)
