rt1080 computer control program BETA

[c3lica]

As some of you know I just bought a RT-1080 tuner. I received it friday and have been working on a program to control it and view it. So far I have gotten the text from the display screen working pretty well. You see just what you see on the actual unit but there are a few bugs.



A pic of the GUI in operation. Text scrolls and changes with the unit. Will be adding all the little lights (rdbs, narrow, loc) later tonight hopefully.

Anyways, do you guys like the idea of how the program looks... I plan on making all the buttons functional. Basically make it as if you were using the unit in person. Good idea? If people like it I will make it for other units as I buy more rotel. After the first one the others should be very easy to program.

Ill do a silver 1080 no problem if I had a high quality pic. As far as 1098 I might try after the 1080 is done but I would have to have someone to do all the testing as I don't have a 1098 (or the money for one) right now.

Also, if anyone has a rt-1080 that they can hook up to there computer and would like to give me a hand let me know.

I will send you the code (I am a csci major but I'm sure my code could be written better and would love your input) or an installer if you don't have Visual Basic 2008 and you can tell me how it works for you and if there are any bugs. I get some weird things happening every now and then but I am using a junky usb to serial converter and the cable I mad is junk too.

Let me know. It would be much appreciated.

I have a RSP-1069 and would love to control it with my PC.

How hard would it be?

I could provide other righ-res pictures if your interested.
