Confirmed to have it working with RasPI

[JeroenVanOort]

I hereby confirm to have your software working on a Raspberry Pi. There is no issue, but this seems the only way to let you know.

I've used the RS232 interface from discriminiator.nl, took out the MAX232, soldered in some resistors to make a voltage divider to bring the PIC's output down to 3.3 volt to be handled by the RasPi's UART input.

After some fiddling with the dependencies, your software worked right away :-)

In the other issue, you mentioned you'd want to receive some raw dumps. I you tell me how, I'd be happy to provide them.

I'd don't have to much experience with C, but I'll try to look into your code some more.

Hello Jeroen,

Great that it works! Thank you for letting us know. We are considering rewriting the entire codebase to C++ to make it all more organized and manageable. We are also about to implement POCSAG (for ASTRID in Belgium) and support for "cheap" RTL-SDR receivers.

It would be great if you could provide us with a sample of raw POCSAG data. I can write a tool to collect this.

If you spot things that could be better, please let us know, we'd be grateful! :-)

[JeroenVanOort]

Please let me know how and I'll provide you with any data receivable from the Rotterdam area you want.

I agree, a full rewrite is needed: for as far as I can see, there are many lines of unused code and I cannot, without spending hours studying, understand what happens where.

I hope you'll be able to allow for the flextime to be used and I hope you can provide a PDW-like value of how much data is being succesfully decoded, so one can adjust his receiving device if needed.

Hi, any progress on this ? I'm looking at piping rtl_fm to use this scanner on the pi as multimon-ng currently doesnt support flex (yet) thanks for the work so far.

I'm afraid this project had gone rather silent, though it is functional.

In my knowledge the 'only' thing that needs to be done is to clean up. I know C/C++ well enough to see that the code is messy, but don't have the capabilities nor time to do it myself.
