Simple "diseqc2" #6

Hi @akosinov ,

I need for a home project one "Unicable Listener", that's a pice of hardware that can monitor all diseqc traffic. The objective is trigger some actions when some Unicable commands are detected.

I see the "diseqc2" project based on STM32072B-DISCOVERY. But, I ask about a more simple/cheap solution. You know it? I only need the functionality of cat /dev/ttyACM0.

Thank you for this interesting project!

Hi @lars18th ! It's depends from ur tasks and always compromise btw HW and SW. Simplest and cheapest HW solution is https://www.onetransistor.eu/2016/01/diseqc-monitor-soundcard.html, but SW development is hard Specialized Diseqc chips means simple SW but hard HW. For me common-use microcontrollers is best solution. You can use any STM32 or AVR family for diseqc monitoring.

Hi @akosinov ,

I already know about the sound card option. But this isn't a solution for me.

If you know about a solution based on a microcontoller, then please let me know! I'm not a professional with STM32 or AVR devices, so I need some guidance.

Thank you!
