Hi,
Is it possible to have the PS or other RDS text updated via simple TCP commands? Or does the software need to implement the complete UECP protocol? Other encoders I know oif can accept commands like "PS=Several words here" and the encoder takes care of sending the PS text in blocks of 8.
Thanks.
Jan:
Not only the PS, the PIRA encoders can be completely controlled by ASCII commands.
Preferred command for sending a text which has to be showed in the PS is:
DPS1ENQ=Your text here, up to 128 characters<CR>
where CR is Carriage-return character (Chr 13).
The encoder parses the text itself, based on the Dynamic PS 1 mode. The options for the mode are:
* Mode 0 - Scrolling by fixed blocks of 8 characters
* Mode 1 - Scrolling by 1 character
* Mode 2 - Word alignment scrolling
* Mode 3 - Scrolling by 1 character, text separated by spaces at begin and end
See the Technical manual for complete list of commands and more details.
Greg Davis:
Is there an ASCII command that will send title / artist in radiotext, dynamic PS, and RT+ ??
