Centro SW, tuner working, I need to decode RDS data - 26/09/2013 03:21

I now have the tuner code for centro working on the PCATS tuner in all its modes.

These files are in version 0.61

What I need to do now is extract the station name and possibly program info from empeg RDS device.

See "tuner_visual_display_rds(char mode)" in player_tuner_common.c. This should read some text from the /dev/rds0 device and render it to the display.

Anyone fancy writing some sample code to decode a few strings from the RDS stream?, I feel lazy now :-)

Thanks,
Jon
