Raspberry encode camera and output IQ

[brzez]

This is all very cool. Amazing work to have the raspberry pi working all by itself. I've ordered a raspberry pi to try this out.

Does it only work with DVB-S? I have a DVB-T usb stick and was wondering if that was enough to try it out.

Haven't seen any responses.

I have a raspberry pi and a dvb-t receiver. I'd like to experiment with this and was wondering if the UGLYDATV app has any other modes available that encode in DVB-T format. I do not have a DVB-S receiver.

Thanks,

No is the answer.

Ok.

I am a software developer and if the source code or encoding portion is available, I'd be willing to take the time to create a DVB-T encouder.

There is an implementation of DVB-T in the DATV-Express source code
https://github.com/G4GUO/datvexpress_gui

Might be an idea to look at the spec first

Good luck

Hi All
Has anyone got any idea where I can get a copy of 'DATVRPIO.1.rar' from, as Evariste F5OEO's site seems to be down.

Many Thanks

I've checked with F5OEO and I'll put it in the Dropbox folders that I'm creating for DigiThin. I'll post the link when it's there.

DATVRPIO.1.IMG is here as a zip file for the moment. I haven't had chance to download and verify it yet.

It seems to have filled up my Dropbox, so get it as soon as you can, as I might have to take it off.

Files downloaded any stored away safely this time hi.

Now to play with the Raspberry Pi.

Thanks again

I'm not sure if this is the latest release or easiest way to run the UglyDATV software (perhaps Evariste can update us) but this is how I got the software running with the UI as described in CQ-TV 247.

The original software is called RPiDATV0.1.img.zip and is a complete image for the Raspberry Pi SD card - note this is an older version and is available on the BATC downloads site http://www.batc.org.uk/cq-tv/software/index.html. Unzip the image with Winzip or 7zip and then use your PC to build an image on the 8 GB SD card using a disk imager program. I use win32diskimager but full instructions are available here: http://www.raspberrypi.org/documentatio ... windows.md

Connect up the Raspberry Pi in the normal way using a monitor and keyboard or preferably connect remotely via SSH using a program such as Putty – this is the preferred method and full instructions are available here: http://raspberrypi4dummies.wordpress.co ... ssh-putty/ I use this program http://www.advanced-ip-scanner.com/ to find the ip address of the RPi (and other devices) on the network.

Insert the SD card in the Raspberry Pi and power on.

At the prompt enter pi for login and tv for the password.
Dir will show one directory called UglyDATV.

Now you need to load the new main program which needs putting in to the home or top level directory on the RPi.
You can do this by SFTP using a program such as Filezilla. Full instructions are here: http://www.raspberrypi.org/documentatio ... sh/sftp.md Note you may need to log out of SSH before using SFTP.

Once you have the file in the top level directory (not the UgluDATV directory) log back in to the RPi as before and then unpack the new file by typing
tar -xvf RpiDATV.tar.gz This will show the files as they are unpacked.

Once complete (and in future) to run the program type cd RpiDATV and then ./gbmenu.sh and you should then have the UI....
