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.

CLI examples

Read variable value

sergio --baud 19200 get PS
ONDAROSS

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

sergio --output json --baud 19200 get PS
{"variable": "PS", "value": "ONDAROSS"}

Set the radiotext

sergio --baud 19200 set RT1 'www.ondarossa.info'

Synchronize time and date

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

sergio --baud 19200 synctime Europe/Rome

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

Dump everything

sergio --baud 19200 dump > dump.json

Name

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