Thread: tune-s2, my little linux app

here is the latest version of my tune-s2 app, still under alot of changes so use what youd like from it.

I added usals support, like everything out there it seems, the farther north you go the farther out of whack it gets. not sure why, my math seems simple and in my head it works. I get the exact same numbers as enigma's much more complicated algo, and the same numbers are other online aim calculators. but whatever it works

all this app does is control your motor, committed, uncommitted, and 22khz switch, and tell the dvb tuner to tune a freq with or without additional params, once it does it it reports back any info that may have changed, and the tune status like signal strength/quality then waits for you to hit the 'q' to quit



this lets you run dvbsnoop in another screen

./tune-s2 12224 V 20000 -help

Will this work with the 2104D DVBWorld USB receiver?

It should, give it a try and let me know. It works on my skywalker-1 and Prof 7500

Thanks for this app! it's currently the only thing in Linux that works to scan with my Prof 7500, with Ku linear I can tune a transponder and dvbsnoop it. I am having trouble with C-Band though, it doesn't seem to like the transponder frequency I give it. If I use -lnb CBAND and a tp frequency like 3907 it says it's tuning to something like 4567892. I can't copy and paste the real output since I'm at work right now.

Where do you place this file? I should have asked "How do you install this file?

here we go fixed it. CBAND should now work fine.

I think the old version used different arguments, I got rid of all the single letter args like -l and now use -lnb insted, there were just to many different args it was getting confusing with single letters.

Code:

usage: tune-s2 12224 V 20000 [options]
        -adapter N     : use given adapter (default 0)
        -frontend N    : use given frontend (default 0)
        -2             : use 22khz tone
        -committed N   : use DiSEqC COMMITTED switch position N (1-4)
        -uncommitted N : use DiSEqC uncommitted switch position N (1-4)
        -usals N.N     : orbital position
        -long N.N      : site long
        -lat N.N       : site lat
        -lnb lnb-type  : STANDARD, UNIVERSAL, DBS, C-BAND or 
        -system        : System DVB-S or DVB-S2
        -modulation    : modulation BPSK QPSK 8PSK
        -fec           : fec 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 3/5, 4/5, 5/6, 6/7, 8/9, 9/10, AUTO
        -rolloff       : rolloff 35=0.35 25=0.25 20=0.20 0=UNKNOWN
        -inversion N   : spectral inversion (OFF / ON / AUTO [default])
        -pilot N           : pilot (OFF / ON / AUTO [default])
        -help          : help

unzip to any folder in linux and go into it and type

make

this will compile it into an executable file called tune-s2 if you want to install it

cp tune-s2 /usr/local/bin

then it'll be in your path

This works for CBAND now, thanks!

This only works in linux environment (OS)?
