This code still works?

Im trying to get only the enc part.

I mean I need to encode a buffer and send to my radio software. Whats the difference between uecp and prais?

Im a little confused with your code.
Thanks

Hello Kevin, This library can be used for communicating with hardware RDS encoders. Universal Encoder Communication Protocol (UECP) is the standard protocol from the RDS group, for talking to hardware RDS encoders. However older encoders, before UECP was published, had their own custom protocols, usually over UART. On our radio station we used to have such an encoder made by Prais (old company, their site is down) so we did some reverse engineering of the protocol (over serial port) and implemented the protocol here. Other encoders with custom protocols include some encoders from Pira and maybe other vendors. Most vendors nowadays support UECP so you can use that. The library acts as an abstraction layer, your code (e.g. a daemon that wants to talk to the encoder) can use rds.h/rds/c API and supply the encoder type (prais/uecp) and the library internally will use the corresponding protocol backend. The idea is to allow adding new vendor-specific protocols in the future by adding different protocol backends. The UECP code is not tested much (we didn't have an encoder with UECP support, I played with some software encoders and compared the output to the output of others) so any feedback is welcome. Have in mind that this will generate commands for your RDS encoder, it won't generate the RDS data stream. If you want an RDS encoder, that generates both the RDS stream and the RDS signal, check out our JMPXRDS repository (which is what we currently use, we got rid of our hardware encoder and do everything in software). Let me know if you need more infos Nick Στις Δευ, 3 Σεπ 2018 στις 9:29 μ.μ., ο/η Kevin Kouketsu < notifications@github.com> έγραψε:

Hello,

i'm surprise about your response. Thanks for the infos.
I work for a company which wants to create a RDS encoder to our radio software and I'm studying right now and trying to figure out how that works.

This repository that you said have the really encoder? I saw your rds_encoder.c and seems like yes, I guess.
I'll try to remove the piece of code responsible for rds encoder.

Thanks again.

Jack Audio Connetion Kit and threads are really necessary? Or is just to goal of your software?
Sincerly in this moment I'm really confused with RDS system. I don't know if each block is sended separetely or each group of 16 have a individual send.

I'm really sorry about my doubts but I really need to understand. If you can help me a little more i'll be really gratefull.

And another question: what encoder you use to compare with another results?
I didn't found a encoder which returns a "string" with the encode buffer to compare values.
