Remote RTL-SDR Direct Sampling? #74

Closed c5e3 closed 4 years ago

c5e3 commented 4 years ago

i want to use an rtl-sdr with direct sampling enabled remotely, but i can't get it working with the following device strings: soapy=0,driver=remote,remote:driver=rtlsdr,remote=192.168.1.x,direct_samp=2 soapy=0,driver=remote,remote:driver=rtlsdr,remote=192.168.1.x,remote:direct_samp=2

is this feature not implemented or am i doing something wrong?

guruofquality commented 4 years ago

This mode is set via the writeSetting() API call, not the device constructor args

thanks for the quick reply! so there's no chance of using direct sampling with soapyremote + gqrx as a client? or am i missing something?

You can call writeSetting() or any API call from python or C/C++ while using your device in GQRX. Thats what soapyremote does, many clients can connect to the same device. Alternatively, a PR for SoapyRTLSDR to support the setting as a device args string would be cool too :-)

you can try this https://github.com/jazzkutya/soapysettingsgui please report any problems, I welcome feedback over there

i already wrote 2 scripts for my needs, thanks to both of you! I'll definitely try out your gui @jazzkutya import SoapySDR sdr = SoapySDR.Device("driver=remote,remote:driver=rtlsdr,remote=192.168.1.x") sdr.writeSetting("direct_samp", "2") sdr.writeSetting("digital_agc", "true")

and

import SoapySDR sdr = SoapySDR.Device("driver=remote,remote:driver=rtlsdr,remote=192.168.1.x") sdr.writeSetting("direct_samp", "0") sdr.writeSetting("digital_agc", "false")
