Thread: Timetrax XM and Sirrus USB PC PCR control

I have all the protocol specs for serius hardware -- I just don't have the hardware.. but it should be fairly simply to add support for it (muxh like the XM support in RR)... I do not intend to make any support for recording/timeshift in RR.. You should be able to embed timetrax in RR and I was under the impression somebody has done that in the past..

If I had the hardware and appropriate cable I'd definitely work on it.. also, making the cable can get tricky ..

Pin/ Wire Color/ Function/ Tuner Module Input/Output

7/ Blue/ */ Input – 7414 Pin 11

8/ Purple/ */ Input – 7414 Pin 9

4/ Orange/ Inverted RX/ Input – 7414 Pin 5

5/ Yellow/ Inverted TX/ Output – 7414 Pin 4

6/ Green/ */ Input – 7414 Pin 13

1/ Black/ + 5v/ Power to UDCU

2/ Red/ MUTE (Active High)/ Input – 7414 Pin 1

3/ Brown/ Ground/ Ground to UDCU

Sure... I actually know very little compared to what I don't know (don't we all?)... there's just very little that I woudn't want to know...

Off topic but thought I would add the fuel to the fire.

Please be more specific what HW you need for your development use.

That's why I said that getting the cable done can be tricky.. the posted cable pins are for the SC-FM1 (FM tuner based)... but that receiver costs some $170 bucks -- much to high... in theory, we could get any "PCR" type receiver and make a cable for it -- but we'd need to figure out the connection... basically we need:

-A cable for connection to the PC: Serial or USB -- If USB, I'd need some API/SDK or documentation to talk to it (and may be drivers). This cable should also power the receiver.
-A Receiver unit that can connect to the cable above and antenna.

I know the above can be derived from the SC-FM1 but some research would be needed for any other receivers (the cheaper ones). I do know there's some people working on this.. if we could get in touch with them to provide what we need, I'd gladly work on the software portion..
