P132, P164, P232(U) and P332 RDS Encoders / Re: p232 chip control problem

« Last post by Jan on January 07, 2026, 03:55:15 pm »

The p232 mcu integration is seamless. Unfortunately, you probably skipped the LED indicators in your circuit so you made the diagnostics unnecessarily complicated. With the LED indicators, determining the operating status is immediate.

Thus you need some diagnostic tools to verify that the chip is wired well and operating. For example you may measure the DA7 digital output frequency (57 kHz). Or you may attach logic analyzer to TX1, it sends firmware version on power-up. Or you may connect RDS decoder to the analogue output. Or you may connect I2C analyzer to the I2C bus, there's lively communication after power-up.

Once you verify anything of the above, we may continue.

P132, P164, P232(U) and P332 RDS Encoders / p232 chip control problem

« Last post by suricato on January 07, 2026, 03:16:01 pm »

Hi, i'm using p232 chip by raspberry cm4, i'm using /dev/ttyAMA1 serial, the test code is for example:

import serial
import time

ser = serial.Serial(
"/dev/ttyAMA1",
baudrate=19200,
timeout=2
)

# Attendi che il P232 sia pronto (15 secondi da power-up)
print("Aspetto la risposta iniziale dal P232...")
time.sleep(15)
data = ser.read(64)
print("Inizializzazione:", data)

# Manda un comando valido (dipende dal firmware)
ser.write(b'LEVEL\n')
time.sleep(0.5)
response = ser.read(128)
print("Risposta:", response)

ser.close()

no reply from p232 chip,attached there is the board schematic, the raspberry cm4 uart are DSP_UART0_RDS_TX, and DSP_UART0_RDS_RX

the p232 chip doesn't work, i don't understand that

Haven't tried it in a long time but I think that correct command should be

Code: [Select]

sendhttp url:"http://source:ccITu2xk@sapircast.caster.fm:14744/admin/metadata.xsl?mount=/8KY&mode=updinfo&song=%data%"
For more information, please find out what valid URL formats are and what URL format Icecast requires.

P275 FM Analyzer / Re: Histogram data from serial connection

It consists of pairs

bin; count

for each deviation in range 0 to 121 kHz.

Value separator is space or CRLF in any mixture and quantity.
The separators are corrupted in recent firmware version. It makes no issues for processing but does not look well. This will be fixed in fw version 2.2f.

P275 FM Analyzer / Histogram data from serial connection

« Last post by genunix on December 27, 2025, 09:51:22 am »

Hi. I have a question regarding the interpretation of histogram data obtained from a serial port using the ?H command.
Here is the data:

"Histogram Data:",
"0; 0 1;",
"0 2;"
...
"0 120;",
"0 121;",
"0"

What does the first value in the first row (0; 0 1;) mean?
What does the value in the last row (0) mean?"
