We've bought a PCS and EasyDab V2 transmitter but have come up against the incompatibility of the current odr-dabmux versions and EasyDab. The test file from a v2.3.1 source does allow the EasyDab to transmit. I have tried to roll back to a v2.3.1 odr-dabmux but the compiling fails. Any ideas  people?

Hello,

I fixed something related to easydab in v5.0.0, and I believe also the
latest release should work with the easydab. Can anybody confirm?

Regarding v2.3.1 not compiling: that's why v2.3.2 exists.

Cheers

I have successfully install v2.3.2 but....
ietf.org is no longer serving this file. Use https://data.iana.org/time-zones/data/leap-seconds.list instead. - Problem

Hello,

I'm successfully using
* odr-dabmux 5.0.0
* odr-zmq2edi 4.5.0 - connecting to the ZMQ output of odr-dabmux

with an easyDab v2 based transmitter. The purpose of odr-zmq2edi is to provide additional buffering locally to the transmitter, in excess of what the easyDab v2 board can accommodate.

odr-dabmux has a general configuration of
       tist true
       tist_offset 2

the ZMQ output configured with 
      allowmetadata true

Hello Nick . I can produce a working multiplex with both EDI and ZMQ  outputs with odr-dabmux 4.5.0 on separate ports and decode the EDI stream with Dablin. I think I have odr-zmq2edi running but would like some advice on the syntax. It produces buffering statistics but I can't resolve an EDI o/p with Dablin.
I somehow managed to activate the EastDAB from home on Saturday but have been unable to repeat the set up and stupidly made no records.

Hello,

You will need to use different ports for the EDI and ZMQ outputs from odr-dabmux

The syntax for my  odr-zmq2edi is

odr-zmq2edi -w -400 -C /usr/bin/local/check-time-sync -x -Z tcp://*:9100 tcp://{odr-dabmux-ZMQ-port}

The -w 400 tells odr-zmq2edi to release the EDI packets 400ms before their ATST time (which in turn is set in the mux as now()+tist_offset)
The -C is a path to my local script that returns an error if NTP time is not locked
The -x says to drop late frames (that arrive less than local NTP time - 400ms)
The -Z is to open a local ZMQ socket for the easyDab to connect to (on port 9100)
Finally the tcp:// is the address on the mux which the ZMQ port is open on

I haven't ever tried to read the EDI out of that - I just connect an easyDab board to the ZMQ, and it seems pretty happy, and stays in the SFN


Nick
