TRANSLATION OF BLACK TEXT

Installation:

This dll and this plugin enables the functionality of the radio usb silabs taking it to the level of an autoradio rds.

The dll Usbradio.dll created using fmod sound engine. You will find 2 UsbRadio.dll 1 for stereo version , and the other for quadraphonic version.

Copy what is suitable for your system into your roadrunner Root.

Copy the contents of the Road Runner folder to road runner Root.

Follow the command regsvr32 testsilabdll.dll

In the case of a previous installation, first de-register the dll with the command regsvr32 testsilabdll.dll / u then you may proceed with the New installation.

In the radioart folder insert the graphics that shows the logo of the radio station, the name of .jpg must be the name of the pi address, (this the pi number of the station (the ‘p’ is the id code of the radio and is expressed in decimal code).

The configuration file of the plugin is in the testsilabdllconfig folder, also the alternative preset frequencies of each radio (station?)

Function:

The testsilabdll attaches a set of commands for starting and visualising the rds better to the pre-existing commands of Roadrunner.

The dll furnishes a fast comprehensive rds support of all the present rds information.

Function TA:

If function Tl is activated Roadrunner will switch itself automatically to the radio screen in the case of a traffic bulletin, in the case of any transmitted message issuing on another radio (station) belonging to the EON group the radio will automatically tune in to that.

Function NEWS:

If the NEWS function is activated, Roadrunner will automatically switch to radio screen in case of news-type radio, in this case any message transmitted on another radio station belonging to the EON group the radio will tune automatically on that one.

Function Tl:

In the case of a radio station using an alternative frequency, you can use the af function in automatic or in manual (in manual mode, the command is sil_maf), this allows radio frequency to be changed searching for a better signal for the radio station listened to.

Function Memory:

If you should wish to memorise a preset key, the memory key must be activated, then press the preset key, the current radio station will be memorised on this.

Function Popup:

Your choice for skinners

2 Popups can be integrated in the skin, one popup preset (doesn’t matter what the name is) and one search af popup (silabsaf.skin).

By use the command sil_setup you can access the dll setup. In this you can check if the popup af is active or not, if the preset popup is active or not, and if wished, that the silabs are changed during the search af.

In the af popup you can put in position the sil_exitaf key through which it is possible to exit from the cycle returning to the original frequency, each function from the outside for the popup can be activated from the manual search key sil_maf.




In the pre-set popup it is possible to insert pre-set selection keys, the pre-set name label, the pre-set indicators that visualise the miniature pre-set radio, but I recommend inserting also the sil_memory key to enable access to the saving of a pre-set.

Function Set-up:

The command sil_setup accesses a form of setup, through which you can access and modify the various values of the plugin configuration.

You can make the 4 audio channels from the setup form that through the commands of the skin.

When using the stereo version of the dll usbradio, 4 channels will be ignored.

Function EON:

I advise you to superimpose the name label of the radio station eon with it’s indicator, in this way it is possible, clicking on the name, to tune the radio to the eon station desired.

IMPORTANT:

You must insert the following command: “CLOSEWINDOW:SDKSilabs | | QUIT” into the ‘quit’ of road runner.

for those who have noticed that their custom_inds have stopped working i have just this minute recieved an update which dose solve this issue, further testing when home from work tonight.
