Open Tuner 0.1 - Test Version

[zr6tg]

Hi All,

What started as an effort to learn more about the Nim module (On the BATC Minitiouner V2) and how it works sent me down a rabbit hole and I ended up converting a big chunk of Longmynd to windows. This is the end result, its still buggy and missing some features. But its something to play with and all the sourcecode is on github. Get all the info and download on my site: https://www.zr6tg.co.za/open-tuner/

Only tested with the Batc Minitiouner V2... but minimal testing, seriously, this project only came together the last week or two :p



Have a good weekend,

73,

Working fine here with Minitiouner V2 and Windows 10, many thanks Tom for your remarkable productivity and willingness to share!

Maybe a volume control within the app's interface would be nice at some time, but for something you say is alpha, it's damned good Well done!!

One thing that I see is just how snappy it is to lock on to a new signal, which is a very welcome performance boost.

Tom, your added "Snapshot" function, where are the images saved to please? Thanks.

Excellent work, very fast in the acquisition of the stream. It would be useful to be able to feed the LNB without bias-tee directly. Thanks again and congratulations 73 de i4wm Ros

The images should be in the same folder as where open tuner is stored, I'll add a setting to change the path in a future version.

Working on that now, should have something for you to test in the next day or two

Spectacularly quick to lock, doesn't seem to like 125ks but hardly much of an issue at this stage....
Quality work I particularly like the +200% volume capability, useful with shall we say 'variable' audio level from some stations
Thanks
