RDS Encoder library

This repository contains the code for controlling a Pira.cz P164 RDS Encoder. Both ethernet and USB are supported.

It can be used both as a library and as a CLI program.

Status

Both Serial and TCP seem to work, but there has been no production use yet.

CLI examples

Read variable value

./sergio.py get PS
ONDAROSS

To make it machine readable, just use --output json

./sergio.py --output json get PS
{"variable": "PS", "value": "ONDAROSS"}

Set the radiotext

./sergio.py set RT1 'www.ondarossa.info'

Synchronize time and date

This assumes your computer has a correct time and date of course.

./sergio.py synctime Europe/Rome

You can also specify --save so that this is saved immediately.

Dump everything

./sergio.py dump > dump.json

Name

Dr. Pira teached us all to call Sergio whenever you have computer problems.
