OSD Duration and Position

Post by DL5BCA » Mon Nov 23, 2020 1:51 pm

Hello,

after a long time of programming, I updated my Ryde yesterday.

This Ryde should run in our repeater: One SAT input on a fixed frequency at 70cm, the other SAT input on a fixed frequency at 13cm.
Are there repeaters that already use this?

Can I change the display time of the OSD or leave it on completely?

Can I change the position of the OSD?
I always have crazy ideas.
Please don't be surprised.

GB3FT is using a Ryde successfully as it's receiver and the rx OSD status can be turned on and off by toggling a GPIO on reception of a DTMF command - see the GB3FT streamer page for how it is controlled.

Not sure where you'd need to edit the code to change OSD location.

Hi Thomas,

It is possible to edit (or disable) the OSD timers and module locations from the config file. The sample config file and the rydeplayer README contain examples and documentaion for how to implement these.

You should be aware that these features are aimed at advanced users only as we don't have the time to provide the same level of support we do for the core functionality.

Hi Tim's,

thank you for the answers.

I saw the Winter Hill multi receiver on the cat20. I like the status line at the top of the picture ...

I would like a line like that with the Ryde Receiver.

What about the "OSD" button on the front panel?
Nothing happens to me yet ...

Hi Thomas,

I have been testing a Ryde setup for a while and use the two inputs. One for 437MHz and the other for 1316MHz. I have also tried 146.5MHz and 1316Mhz. The SR were 333k and 2M SR and to keep the scan time fast I set the altered the scan time from 5 down to 2 seconds. If you want a lower SR the scan time would need to be longer for lock. I think a 2mtr/70cms duplexer could be used on one input to give 3 rx frequencies but the scan time gets longer.
