OpenTuner solution DATV

OpenTuner : Voici une solution intéressante pour utiliser n’importe quel module Minitiouner pour la réception DATV. (fonctionne parfaitement avec celui du REF).https://www.zr6tg.co.za/open-tuner/ : Activités radio

The BATC Minitiouner is arguably the go to hardware for any DATV related experiments both for QO-100 and terrestrially.

There has been loads of projects (MinitiouneWinterhillLongmynd etc) that use the underlying tuner technology. After one of our weekly Sunday DATV nets on QO-100, I got inspired to dig a bit deeper into how the NIM module specifically works and to do some experiments I started to port various bits of the Longmynd project that was developed by Heather Lomond.

It was a slightly deeper rabbit hole than I planned and I ended up port a big chunk of the code to C#. C# is my go to language for doing quick tests that involves a bit more than a regular python script and while I wasn’t planning it, it managed to evolve into a project that I call the Open Tuner.

Basically an opensource windows client that can communicate directly with the Minitiouner over USB. The look is very similar to the Longmynd Client, but its a completely new and different project, although I might integrate the Longmynd client functionality in here as well in the future.
