RDS Encoder!

Post by Pir8Radio »

Great little board... Not much improvement needed! Except maybe an adjustable resistor for the RDS signal output, not the MPX output but a way to adjust JUST the RDS subcarrier... OH and how about the LCD board to hook up to this guy? :)

Problem with RDS MAX

Post by pcs »

Reinstall the program and this error will go away.

A new version should be out shortly with script file support,
by the way...

Re: Problem with RDS MAX

Correct. Now instead I get a completely different error, however after it has upped the RDS info to 80%. After that I get:

Run-time error "5":
Invalid procedure call or argument

Still I think we're getting closer. At least it looks like the program uploads something to the RDS-encoder.

RDS MAX driver error message

Post by pcs »

By the way, a new release of the driver is coming up soon.

The reason that the bugs haven't been fixed yet is that we lost
source code so we'rere-writing the whole damn thing again.

Should be ready in a week and will have additional functions now.

The problem you're seing is because one of the fields is too long,
probably.

For a test delete RT text. And set country code on page one to 1-9

New version will bring more features. You've got quite a few PS
options and you can play with those. They are the text that is
displayed on the receiver by default so most stations use this
to display dynamic text.

If anyone has any more sugestions, bring it out here, we'll try to
accomodate everyone.

So when the new version comes out will i be informed via e-mail, or will there be a link that i can go to, to get the new software on the site, and will this have the 3 lines of radtio text aswell i know of the dynamic PS, but will that still be on the other on, my version seems to have trouble picking up the id tag also from winamp, still for the moment it will do, but be good when the new software comes out will be interested to know when it is likely to be availiable, and also if it will include the features i mentioned? :)

With RDS max it isnt possible to view RDS on VW Navigations Systems, because groups 0A and 2A are incompatible.

Is it picked up on other receivers?

I have yet to see a radio receiver that isn't compatible with RDS MAX 1.0.

And believe me, I have seen a few.

My wife drives an Audi, which is essentially the same factory as VW now.
Both cars share much of the hardware. Needless to say, her RDS picks
RDS MAX 1.0 just perfectly.

It is possible that you're injecting too much or too little of the carrier
into your transmitter system?!

Now this was something I liked to see a lot. Looks great n easy to see all parameters. I had problems connecting it with my computer before using v1 as you maybe remember, but here it's more clear and I believe this is something that I'm sure will work very well.
A question though. Does it work together with the ID tags in i.e. WinAmp?
Best regards
