uhfradiousbsharedmemreader's Introduction

uhfRadioUsbSharedMemReader

command line utility to interface Falcon 4.0 BMS 4.35 with UHF Radio

compiled on Windows 7 32bit with gcc

g++ (i686-posix-dwarf-rev1, Built by MinGW-W64 project) 4.9.2

Check /bin for pre-compiled executable.

Installation

A libusb filter driver must be installed to enable interfacing with the UHF Radio firmware.

The software to do so is available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb-win32/

Type install-filter install -device=USBVid_16c0.Pid_27db.Rev_0100 on the commandline. Or use the install-filter-gui.exe to do the same.

Note:

Please follow the installation instructions provided in libusb-win32-bin-README.txt. Most users will have a x64 architecture, so

x86\libusb0_x86.dll: Must be renamed to libusb0.dll! and copied to C:\Windows\syswow64\libusb0.dll.
amd64\libusb0.sys: Must be copied to C:\Windows\system32\drivers\libusb0.sys
amd64\libusb0.dll: Must be copied to C:\Windows\system32\libusb0.dll

You can check on successfull installation with the libusb tool testlibusb-win.exe. It should display a long list of information about the USB device (device has to be connected of course).

Details

uhfRadio.exe interfaces Falcon BMS shared memory with the UHF Radio via USB. The executable accepts one (optional) parameter.

uhfRadio [<path and filename of pilot ini file>]

Using the parameter, the pilots ini file residing in <falcon bms path>/User/Config/ is parsed for UHF preset frequencies, which are loaded onto the UHF Radio after starting the executable (UHF Radio must be connected of course for this to work). Only a successful parsing leads to the following written on the command line (example):

found at UHF PRESET 1 Frequency 297500
