PicoTuner Ethernet Interface

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.

This software is compatible 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.

Finding the IP Address

See the section on the broadcast packet below.

LNB PSU Output

The LNB PSU is turned on by default at startup. If you do not want LNB voltage, make sure the LNB PSU jumpers are not fitted on the PicoTuner board.
