Ok thx. I'll try to understand the tool. I also found Hibernate Trigger. Here u can start a programm on and after hibernate.

Funny you had issues too... I was trying to make my connection a bit more robust by anchoring it with electrical tape and the next time i plugged it in... Nothing. I'm going to have to take it into work with me to look at it under a 'scope to see if i trashed any traces or leads on the ICs. crap!

jjnit did u put the plastic cover back on the board? i just hope you didnt short circuit it or something with a piece of metal behind your dash...

jjnit

Yep - I even put a 2" piece of heat shrink over the cover and zip ties to make it neater and maybe help insulate from vibration, etc.

I cut that away this morning to see if maybe something slipped and maybe fractured the lead but no.

I don't have a scope so I'll just desolder and redo in the next couple of days when i get a chance. I used a pair of hemostats around the pad as heatsinks so I don't think I burned up a trace? We'll see.

I was attempting to avoid adding an additional connector in line as Bj had on his images by going directly into the aerial lead, maybe that caused a problem too.

Regardless, this piece, as cheap as it is, is worthless to me if I can't get it connected to a decent antenna so I'll work on that this week

I have an ADS USB FM tuner (instant FM) it uses same chip (SILAB) but it doesn't work with SILAB reference driver/program. Anybody could help me ?
or
could you send your device driver to me? maybe...

BJ> Could you post your reception level using the App that a member here developed for stations which you receive very clearly.

I am getting values between 43-57 however there is still static on the audio

I have used a small signal booster (which gives a boost of between 5-10 points).
I'm trying to figure out if the signal strength value actually means anything, or if cable type (ohmage) is more important.

Im using the ADS Tech Stick with Silabs Chip.. it works with Silabs software but i cant get it working with radiator. I downloaded the Silabstestpack in the plugins folder and have chossed the subradio.dll in radiator setting as external dll. But nothing happens? any ideas?

jjnit

Are you using the Radiator gui to test or RR?

Check what the Radiator output is mapped to in its config.

Sometimes it takes a channel change and then back for mine to produce audio after a boot - even static.

That's all I can think of that I've experienced - I'm sure others have more ideas.

Im using the Radiator GUI atm. Where i can change the radiator output? I only can see the volume control. I restarted my pc serveral times and changed the channels with no result.

SmoL

have a look in the C file, it may be looking for a specific hardware name or part number before opening...

almera

AFAIK you should select Volume Control (Internal) option. And have you tried USBRadio.dll?
