In progress . . .

PicoTunerWH (PicoTuner in WinterHill mode)

The basic Pico module on the standard USB connected PicoTuner can be replaced by a WIZnet W5100S-EVB-Pico or W5500-EVB-Pico module.

The provides two receivers which can be controlled over the Ethernet connection and can send the received transport streams via the Ethernet connection, similar to a WinterHill.

Overview

PicoTuneWH is software for the BATC PicoTuner board that emulates a single NIM WinterHill and receives two signals at the same time, with commands and received data being sent over Ethernet.

There is no transport sream transfer by USB. A USB connection is not required.

There are different .uf2 files for W5100S-EVB-Pico and W5500-EVB-Pico modules.

There is a debug facility over the USB serial port.

It may be possible to use this software with OpenTuner (0.B).

Network multicast is not supported.

A broadcast packet with device and receive info is transmitted every second on port 9997, even if DHCP is unsuccessful.

If you do not have a WinterHill, see the BATC Wiki, particularly the Documentation and PC Software sections.
