eesdr-tci

Python package to interact with Expert Electronics SDR TCI control interface.

This package is a work-in-progress and will probably change quite a bit in the near term.

It is currently based on the Protocol TCI.pdf, version 1.9 from the ExpertSDR3/TCI documentation repo.

I have tested basic connectivity, receiving and changing parameters, and receiving and transmitting audio streams in various formats.

Until everything stabilizes, take a look at the example folder to see a couple different ways it can be used. Example utilities include:

• json_dump.py: reads startup parameters and outputs them as a JSON dictionary
• param_listener.py: prints out all parameter changes received from the TCI server
• receive_audio.py: receives audio stream from the TCI interface which can be piped to other utilities
• spot_saved_stations.py: repeatedly spots a list of stations to keep them visible in the EESDR interface
• scanner.py: moves between a list of stations and pauses if squelch is broken
• direwolf_interface.py: provides a pure TCI interface to the direwolf packet soundmodem. (Note: currently, this requires building a modified version which can pipe the transmit audio, see this branch if interested.)
• ctcss_decode.py: listens for CTCSS/PL tones in receiver audio and prints possible matches.
