Hello friends,
Yes I understand your frustration, but I am not a company with several developers, and I must spend myself many hours to finish these new tools.
time to imagine the new features, time to implement them, time to write the code time to test on different hardware that exists, time, time, time...
I spend every day I can working on this project. ( but, sorry, life is sometimes difficult, with big health problem in my family)
No you don't buy an Iphone, I sell nothing, NO hardware and NO software. So, I don't hear some grumble...
I have now finished:
- the new version of "Minitioune" that correct some issues and with some extra features. can use any kind of MiniTiouner ( V1, V2, Pro, ...)
- the "Spectrum Analyzer (TSA)" that needs a MiniTiouner and that can send the detected station setup to a Minitioune software that runs with a second MiniTiouner. can use any kind of MiniTiouner ( V1, V2, Pro, ...)
I am finishing the new software MinitiounePro that will use only a MiniTiounerPro
this software allows to show a spectrum, detect different stations on QO100 and can decode a show a station at same time.
the MiniTiounePro software represent now near 100 000 lines of code.... between 1500 and 2000 pages when you want to print it....
During this development I discover frequently new possibilities, new features.. It take much time to imagine a software that has never been made before. I don't know any software that can do that, so it takes much time to imagine the best ergonomics. I have to adapt , change the interface etc..
So not only much time for writing and testing code but much time to image the best way to offer the new features. and I know that there will be again people that will complain that xxxx or that yyyy...
I hope I am at the end of this new great step, because I want also to TX . I have no time to play with Oscar-100 since 2 or 3 months and I'll be glad to play also a little.
I will publish MiniTiounePro using this new feature( embedded Scanner).
Next step will be to add the possibility to receive 2 stations at same time. This part of software is ready but only for DVB-S, not DVB-S2.
But we have 2 tuners/demodulators in a MiniTiounerPro, so we cannot do 3 threads at same time ( receive 2 stations and scan at same time)
we will have to choose:
A) receiving a stations and scanning a band at same time ( using the 2 tuners) = this is this version that will be published in 2 or 3 weeks.
B) receiving 2 different stations on 2 different frequencies at same time ( using the 2 tuners)
Mode A) only will be available in the next release.
After that I will play and test using Oscar-100
and after I will return to work to finish step B)
My situation today is to send MiniTiounePro next week to some beta testers and to publish after their observations and last modifications.
I will offer for download the 3 software at same time (Minitioune, TSA and MinitiounePro)
It will take time also to write the "readme" to give minimum of information for the use of them.
