# LBE-142x GPS Locked Clock Source Configuration Tool
This project provides a cross-platform configuration tool for Leo Bodnar LBE-1420 (single output) and LBE-1421 (dual output) GPS locked clock source devices.
It allows users to configure device settings, set frequencies, and monitor device status on both Windows and GNU/Linux systems (tested on Ubuntu24.04LTS x64).
## Features
- Support for both LBE-1420 (single output) and LBE-1421 (dual output) models
- Cross-platform compatibility (Windows and GNU/Linux)
- Set output frequencies
- Enable/disable outputs
- Blink device LEDs
- Retrieve and display device status
## Prerequisites
### Windows
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 / MINGW64
- CMake (version 3.10 or higher)
- libusb (1.0 or higher) see https://github.com/libusb/libusb/releases
### GNU/Linux
- GCC or Clang
- CMake (version 3.10 or higher)
- libudev-dev
## Building the Project
1. Clone the repository:
```
git clone https://github.com/bvernoux/lbe-142x.git
cd lbe-142x
```
2. Download and extract the LibUSB library for Visual Studio 2022 and MinGW64:
- Go to the [LibUSB releases page](https://github.com/libusb/libusb/releases)
- Download the latest release (e.g., `libusb-1.0.27.7z`)
- Extract the contents to a `libusb` directory in the root of the project
(The directory structure should look like: `lbe-142x/libusb/include`, `lbe-142x/libusb/MinGW64`, etc.)
3. Create a build directory and run CMake:
For Windows (Visual Studio 2022):
```
rm -rf build_VS2022
mkdir build_VS2022 && cd build_VS2022
cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64 ..
```
For Windows MinGW64:
```
rm -rf build_MinGW64
mkdir build_MinGW64 && cd build_MinGW64
cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" ..
```
For GNU/Linux:
```
rm -rf build
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
```
4. Build the project:
For Windows (Visual Studio 2022):
Open the sln
For MinGW64 and GNU/Linux:
```
cmake --build .
```
For a specific build type (e.g., Debug as it is Release by default):
```
cmake --build . --config Debug
```
## Usage
After building the project, you can run the `lbe-142x` executable with various command-line options:
```
Usage: lbe-142x [OPTIONS]
Options:
--f1 Set frequency for output 1 (1-1400000000 Hz) and save to flash
--f2 Set frequency for output 2 (1-1400000000 Hz) and save to flash (LBE-1421 only)
--out <0|1> Enable or disable outputs
--blink Blink output LED(s) for 3 seconds
--status Display current device status
```
Examples:
1. Set frequency for output 1 to 10 MHz:
```
./lbe-142x --f1 10000000
```
2. Enable outputs:
```
./lbe-142x --out 1
```
3. Display device status:
```
./lbe-142x --status
```
## Troubleshooting
### GNU/Linux
If you encounter permission issues when accessing the device, you may need to add a udev rule.
Create a file named `/etc/udev/rules.d/99-lbe.rules` with the following content:
```
KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev"
```
Then add current user to group plugdev
```
sudo usermod -aG plugdev $(whoami)
```
Then, reload the udev rules:
```
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger
```
