Hi FMode,

Having got my HQCT Tuner I would like to integrate it into my frontend and I think that your idea is the best designed idea I have seen till now. I had a look at dates of your source code and I have seen that it is quite a little bit old concerning RDS decoding. Are you still working on this? What are your progress concerning TMC support? Apart of TMC coverage in Sweden did you find coverage for other countries in Europe? How did you bind TMC coverage with "simple" coordinates?

(For almost one year I did some RDS decoding for the silabs USB stick, I was not really happy with its reception and its RDS decoding: station name was not really stable despite of RDS character repetition rule )

I also like the idea that you implemented it with .NET1.1.

RDS Decoding is somewhat finished.
It should be tested by someone else...


I am just working at TMC - TMC needs an Eventlist database in your language and a Locationlist of your country (if not you will get a "6 from 16489 to 16490") . I have german and english events. And Germany as Locationlist. Both are accessed via ADO connection. (I put an Access Database behind there). In these Locationlists "16489" is also described with Lat/Long coordinates... and I am not blocking any information in my layers to upper layers (so I am passing the complete ADO recordset).


So another project would be to organize the Locationslist(s)...
May be hacking another source if data's are not easy to get (example Austria: 2000 Euro) ?


Can you move your driver into a seperate assembly ?
I am just testing everything with my GPS/TMC mouse (driver) (no audio)...

Station name (Program Service Name) not stable ? I did notice that some stations violate the RDS specification with changing this string. May be this is causing the problems ?

I choosed NET1.1 because it's more spread than 2.0 and it's sufficant for that...

Teranga

Did you upload your code at your open source project?
As soon as I have my carpc installed I will tell you for further tests.


Why ADO Recordset instead of Datatable?


And these coordinates tell you the beginning and the end of the event location... is that right?


Are event ids independent from country to country? I mean event id 6 could be a traffic Jam in germany and also a traffic jam in France? If yes, maybe I could have something for you... PM me...


Oups... I have to search for it.. let me some time...


I don't know... I tried different error detection systems... without success. And my radio in my car was showing station name correctly...


And is 99% compatible with .NET2.0/3.0 (apart of some obsolete classes or methods).

Maybe, but I still haven't received your RDS source. Radio.zip is not found.

Teranga

Better too much than too few or?

USBRadio.zip is about 1.5MB, is that allowed from your email account?

FMode / Teranga: Could I also get the latest sources please?

/Me.

LTi

Can i have a word with the programmer of the USBRadio.dll ?

Thanks

"I've read this thread"

Fine design and idea, but since no activity in the last 5 months, has this become a dead issue?

Did TheLlama ever receive the Radio.zip file?

I know everyone is busy, but is there a heartbeat?

galvitron

I like the interface idea. Any progress? Or did this die?

This project has died... it is just too much work for one person... I gave up having a professional carinfotainment system (based on x86 and windows) in my car (professional means = with fm and tmc....)

additionally there is the lack of powerful fm hardware... so this has to be done too... (could be shortened by using the HQCT and writing a proper firmware for it - OH NO this MY thread discussion about this are not allowed HERE - we can discuss this somewhere else)

I have:
- hqct driver (90% - but due too AF lack this is unusable)
- radiodriver for TMC mouse (90%) (does only make sense with "dual driver" which is t.b.d.)
- RDS interpreter objectoriented (90%)
- TMC interpreter (50%)
- "RDS+GPS merger" merges both streams (RDS from any radiodriver) into a COM Port (100% works)

galvitron

Any chance you could post your code?
