NUTS! I started processing the audio from tonight’s
excellent Teamspeak session to MP3. I got a ‘pop up’ in the
beginning urging me as an “Excellent user of the software” to buy
the full version. When I was saving the conversion got a “Send –
Don’t send to Microsoft” message and the source file had about 35
seconds of audio! It was a good session, mainly discussions to using this ‘device’
as an adjunct to SDR-1000 Software defined radio. I think all of us know that
it will be more than that in the end, but this will be a killer of an external
component to the SDR-1000. Phil – VK6APH and Bill – KD5TFD have about
nailed the audio interface from the Wolfson chip. Bill – KD5TFD is working on a ‘smooth’
interface between the Xylo Thing to the PowerSDR software. Bill also has a GPS
interfaced to the Xylo and is sending information back to the PC ultimately
give frequency correction to the sub hz range. Phil – VK6APH is working on inserting CW via the USB
on the Xylo interface in I/Q format to key the SDR at truly high speed properly
‘shaped’ waveform. We need to be thinking about defining the SDR-1000 interface
project scope, as Phil – N8VB did with the HPSDR message earlier. Apologies for losing the audio. This IS exciting stuff. Will
be more careful in the future! Go Bill! Go Phil! Eric |
