add audio feedback for visually impaired hams #580

Closed sijskes closed 7 years ago

sijskes commented 7 years ago

would it at all be possible to make the MD-380 or MD-390 accessible for visually impaired hams by:

Andor PA9D

sijskes commented 7 years ago

baisc morse code framework is at foundation level. rapid beeps get concatenated. load dependend.

travisgoodspeed commented 7 years ago

The MD280 has no screen, but instead uses audio to announce the channel and zone numbers. Its English is a bit buggy, and it cannot announce call signs, but it is quite usable without sight.

I like the Morse code option, especially if we could do a smooth sine wave as a background process to the audio decoding.

sijskes commented 7 years ago

@travisgoodspeed MD280 same FW as 380?

travisgoodspeed commented 7 years ago

Not compatible, but I think we have firmware for it.

sijskes commented 7 years ago

PA9D: minimum useful would be channel name. when CW readout is used, 18 words/min should be target, or else it would take too long. readout channel numbers is no added value.

sijskes commented 7 years ago

18 WPM dit time = 230 ms (according PA2DW). there is significant jitter in the beep generation, enough to concatenate 2 dits together. fail?

Wolf-DL4YHF commented 7 years ago

I turned my MD380 into a 'morse generator' for a test (generating the Morse pattern in SysTick_Handler, timing is almost perfect at 20 WPM). It's in an early beta stage still, only sends dummy text, and even interferes with TRANSMITTING (because it doesn't care about the radio's RX/TX/Squelch state). Any ideas how/where to retrieve the currently selected menu text (preferrably as a plain old 8-bit ASCII string), to send it into the Morse generator's own transmit FIFO ?

Wolf-DL4YHF commented 7 years ago

Despite some of the menu items not being properly reported, I uploaded everything as-is to my branch. When navigating to the 'MD380Tools' menu item, the Morse narrator says "GPS / BEIDOU INFO" instead, etc etc.. but anyway, it properly reports channel names (or numbers, depending on the configuration). It's going to take some time until being fit for a pull request, so if anyone here wants to help / debug the menu-related stuff: the branch is at https://github.com/Wolf-DL4YHF/md380tools .

KB5ELV commented 7 years ago

Thanks for tackling this. I, for one, will take any accessibility I can get and don't mind morse at all. Wish I was smart enough to help make it better, but I just got this MD380 and don't really know anything yet. I looked up the MD280 that was referenced, but it doesn't have many channels and costs about the same as the 380. Reckon I'll install this just for grins and haha's.

KB5ELV commented 7 years ago

@wolf-DL4YHF ... I think I've got your branch of the firmware installed. Where do I find the morse narrator?

Wolf-DL4YHF commented 7 years ago

It's all described here (on my website, in plain old HTML with a few screenshots):

http://www.qsl.net/dl4yhf/RT3/index.html#morse_output

Basically: "Menu".."Utilities".."MD380Tools".."Morse Output". Set "Mode" to either "Short" or "Verbose".

You're welcome. Please let me know how you get along with it, or if / how it can be improved. I'm not happy myself with the deeply nested menu structure; I already considered using an own menu (not the stuff based on Tytera's firmware) which could be opened with the "red key" in the upper right corner of the keypad. The text in our "own" menu would be much easier to read out in Morse code...

Hi,

I'll definitely let you know how it goes. Looks like I'll need to get some working eyeballs to turn it on initially. Some way to bring up the narrator easily would be nice, but it sounds like it also might be hard to do given Tytera's menu structure.

Anyway, I know there are other blind hams that will find this really helpful. Wish I was more conversant with the coding, but I'm not quite that smart :(

Will keepyou posted.

Howdy Wolf,

Well, so far so good. My favorite daughter helped me turn on the morse output, and from there I was able to set it up to my preference (30 wpm, 650 hz). Got the side button programmed for morse narrator. Looks like most menus read. Also nice, a button press interrupts output. (As important as talking...popular wisdom is that when building a screen reader, the first thing you do is get it to talk. The second thing you do is to get it to shut up. Hey, that's sort of like kids, isn't it?)

Only a couple things spring to mind for possible improvements some day, though, as you said, it's very usable now.

Thanks again, this is great stuff.

Hello Buddy and all,

Thanks for testing and for the suggestions. Two "QRQ" modes are already added (35 and 40 WPM), and a method to repeat the previous message (channel or menu item). I will upload the new version in a few days. But I found a few other bugs myself today when testing, for example it seems impossible to retrieve data from the codeplug in a menu, like the contact list or the zone names. Does any of the experienced developers know why such strings don't appear as a string in the array md380_menu_memory , structure menu_t, "entries", "label" ? I waded through the disassembly looking for a buffer in which those items are stored, but found nothing so far.

There is also a problem when the CW announcement is interrupted by a received signal in DMR or FM. It only happens occasionally, but this kind of bug is more difficult to fix than a bug that always happens.

Have a nice weekend (ours is an hour shorter than usual, daylight saving time, so time to go zzz...)

73, Wolf .

KB5ELV commented 7 years ago

Howdy Wolf and others,

Yep. The intermitten bugs are the worst. I also noticed that about some things not reading. Still, it's a whole ton better than what I had before the update, which was nothing. I bet other folks would agree that other keypad beeps that aren't morse are too loud. Now with the morse readout turned on, I've turned off the keypad beeps, which works out great.

Now for my next trick...have to get the user DB uploaded. ...

OK...another question.

I've flashed the userdb. I think I have, anyway, no errors and was told to reboot my radio. (I did this on the Mac...after fighting with Windows and having the Linux machine in a not very accessible place, hey, nice I can program this radio from the mac.) However, sometimes I get "Missed missed list" sent even after the userdb was flashed and I seleced "enable" on usercsv. It appears the file is intact, as md380-tool lookup worked and showed me (I really want to change my name!) So...did I miss a step flashing the userdb, or is something just not yet implemented, thus the "missed missed list"?

Wolf-DL4YHF commented 7 years ago

Is that "missed list" on the screen, or even audible in Morse code ? I didn't check myself, the combination of morse encoder and user database lookup is still on the to-do list.

All the best, Wolf .

No idea if it's on the screen or not, but it sends in morse. That's probably what it is though, I'm guessing.

Wolf-DL4YHF commented 7 years ago

Ok, rrr ... I will try what happens here (in Morse code), depending on a known or unknown DMR-ID being received. Unfortunately there's no activity on any of the local repeaters, as usual when you need a signal for testing. And the next Motorola repeater (where timeslot 1 is always good for worldwide traffic) is out of reach.

You can definitely get the "missed missed list" output if you connect to 4022. Not sure if I get it anywhere else or under what circumstances, but that one would definitely reproduce.

Wolf-DL4YHF commented 7 years ago

Hello Buddy and all,

I still could not reproduce the "missed list" effect here. I also neither find the string "missed" nor "list" anywhere in the firmware, so I guess the database loaded into your radio's SPI-Flash is possibly not ok. Maybe you can read (electronically) what's inside the machine-generated "user.bin" file (sounds like binary but it's plain text) ? Or send it as a zipped archive in an email attachment for inspection ? In the meantime I have extended the morse output a bit, and added a way to turn it on without having to navigate through the menu: When pressing the 'BACK'-button in the upper right corner of the keypad within 9 seconds after power-on, the morse output will be activated regardless of the previous settings (in the menu). Also, output speeds of 35 and 40 WPM have been added. And the CW pitch for a menu title is slightly different than the text of the currently focused menu item. It sounds a bit funny (like two CW stations talking to each other) first, but one gets used to it quite quickly, and it avoids confusion where the menu title is the same text as the first item in that menu (e.g. "Contacts").

Still missing:

Wolf-DL4YHF commented 7 years ago

Ok, my fault. Since I don't have a radio with GPS I only do 'make clean image_D13' but I don't compile the S13 firmware (for GPS). There are some symbols (variables, and their addresses) unknown for the S13-based build, which causes the compiler to throw several errors. Will be fixed later - until someone can locate the addresses in the S13 firmware, some of the Morse output features will simply not work.

Cheers, Wolf .

p.s. is the 'whitesticker' reflector #4022 the same, worldwide on DMR-plus / Hytera ? If so, I can try to link it to the local (DMRplus-) repeater for a test.

Hi Wolf,

Yeah, that's the right reflector.

Can I build everything with the exception of the GPS firmware? I don't have a GPS radio either.

python md380_dfu.py upgrade applet/experiment.bin

But since I almost finished the modifcations to get 'make clean dist' to run without compilation errors, it's easier to wait for say one or two hours, until the branch at github is updated. Cheers, Wolf .

Hi Wolf,

Yeah, that's the right reflector.

Can I build everything with the exception of the GPS firmware? I don't have a GPS radio either.

Will be fixed later - until someone can locate the addresses in the S13 firmware, some of the Morse output features will simply not work.

p.s. is the 'whitesticker' reflector #4022 the same, worldwide on DMR-plus / Hytera ? If so, I can try to link it to the local (DMRplus-) repeater for a test.

Where can I find this firmware also encourage you to test on my MD380?

At the moment, it's not fit to pull a merge-request for it yet. It can be compiled for S13 now, but will lack some of the features there because some addresses to retrieve displayed strings are unknown.

Wolf-DL4YHF commented 7 years ago

I uploaded the modified branch again now. "make clean dist" now successfully builds all three firmware variants again, but I can only test the "D13.020"-based. Murphy will make sure the Morse output won't work on GPS radios. Anyone here who can test, and hopefully prove I'm wrong ?

A few notes about how to activate the Morse output without wading through the menu is explained on my website (link given further above) : Hold BACK button pressed before powering on, and release when the radio starts announcing the current channel name in Morse code. This switches back to 18 WPM, 650 Hz pitch, and beep volume controllable via pot (not perfect yet, but works to some extent).

Cheers, Wolf .

Thanks Wolf. I got it going a couple hours ago, works a treat at 40 WPM :)

Have at least two guys on the blind-hams email reflector asking for this, so when you've updated the repository, will shoot over to them as well. :) Thanks again.

The CW does fine. Only problem I've had with it is that it gives my received audio at least on analog a very high pitched tone.

KB5ELV commented 7 years ago

Yeah, occasionally this happens. One thing that helps is to turn the roger beep on. For some reason that makes the confirm tone when someone unkeys a lower pitch.

Wolf-DL4YHF commented 7 years ago

The short high-pitched pulse is just an aid for debugging. It indicates a problem with the audio power amplifier control: The Morse generator wants to turn it off after the end of a message, but for some reason it cannot (eg. receiver unsquelched because of a voice reception). Just leaving it on caused another problem : It would drain the battery, because the audio PA draws some extra milliamps even without a tone in the speaker.

I will remove the short "indicator beep" as soon as I have found a reliable way (for FM and DMR) to turn the audio power amplifier off at the right time.

Cheers, Wolf DL4YHF .

Wolf-DL4YHF commented 7 years ago

I pulled an intitiall merge request for the Morse output / "Narrator" feature now (PR #734) .

Since the changes (compared against Travis' master repo) are huge, and there were lots of other modifications in the meantime (related with netmon, talker alias, edit talkgroup on the fly, etc), it will take some time until being merged. Because in the meantime I want to developing it further, the latest additions will always be in my temporary branch / fork already mentioned above.

73, Wolf DL4YHF .

travisgoodspeed commented 7 years ago

Closed by @Wolf-DL4YHF in #731.
