The example for a transmission contains an unknown option

[zanco]

The example: Example : sudo ./rpidatv -i sample.ts -s 250 -c 1/2 -o RF -f 437.5 -l contains the -o option, which is refused by the program

./rpidatv: invalid option -- 'o' rpidatv: unknown option `-o'.

Can / should it be omitted ?

Thanks, Ben

Hello Ben

The -o must be -m Example : sudo ./rpidatv -i sample.ts -s 250 -c 1/2 -m RF -f 437.5 -l

Try if that works

That works better, Edwin. Althoug there is another issue, with the command line started there is almost no output on GPIO12. I use a cable from a computer reset button, one header, and I tested all ports with this 30 cm wire, but I only get a strong output when I connect it to Pin 12 = GPIO 18. In the documentation I read that Pin 12 could be an IQ output, but on Pin 13 there is no signal.

Any thoughts on this ? running Raspberry Pi V2 model B v 1.1

Thanks,

Ben

Hello Ben,

gpio 18 is where the raspberry transmit on whit rf selected. IQ is what i think data and not a hf signal (correct me if im wrong)

You can set the rf signal power on max 7 then your command line wil look like this

Example : sudo ./rpidatv -i sample.ts -s 250 -c 1/2 -m RF -f 437.5 -l -p 7

Here is are the commands

rpidatv -1.3.0 Usage: rpidatv -i File Input -s Symbolrate -c Fec [-m OutputMode] [-f frequency output] [-l] [-p Power] [-h]
-i path to Transport File Input
-s SymbolRate in KS (125-4000)
-c Fec : 1/2 or 3/4 or 5/6 or 7/8
-m OutputMode
{RF(Modulate QSK in RF need -f option to set frequency)}
{IQ(Output QPSK I/Q}
{PARALLEL(Output parallel (DTX1,MINIMOD..)}
{IQWITHCLK(Output I/Q with CLK (F5LGJ)}
{DIGITHIN (Output I/Q for Digithin)}
-f Frequency to output in RF Mode in MHZ
-l loop file input
-p Power on output 1..7
-x GPIO Pin output for I or RF {12,18,40}
-y GPIO Pin output for Q {13,19,41,45}
-h help (print this help).

i hope it helps you groeten Edwin

Thanks, Edwin, that helps a lot. Could you please edit the readme because it mentions GPIO12 as output and not PIN12 (GPIO18) and also change the -o in the example (and as text in the C source perhaps)

That could make it work for more testers ;-)

Kind regards, Ben - PE2BZ

Hello Ben

Im not able to make the changes sorry. Im just a follower of rpidatv who gives a helping hand.

Greetings Edwin

Thanks Edwin for support help. Appreciate
