ArduVidRx Controller


ArduVidRxController is an Android app for controlling an ArduVidRx receiver.  See below for information on the screens and buttons.

Connect Screen Buttons

Connect:  Establish a Bluetooth connection to the receiver.
Devices:  Select from the list of Bluetooth devices that have been paired and establish a connection.
Test:  Enter a test mode where screens are displayed and buttons may be used but no actual hardware is connected.

Operation Screen Widgets

The first line of text on the Operation Screen shows the revision information for the currently-connected receiver.  The second line displays the currently-tuned channel.  The indicator bar below shows the live RSSI (signal strength) value for the currently-tuned channel.
RSSI audio tone:  Selecting this checkbox will enable an audio tone indicating the live RSSI (signal strength) value for the currently-tuned channel.

Operation Screen Buttons

Tune Group

Channel:  Select a channel to be tuned on the receiver.
Frequency:  Enter a frequency (in MHz) to be tuned on the receiver.
Next Band:  Increment the tuned channel-code by one band (i.e., "A1" to "B1").
Prev Band:  Decrement the tuned channel-code by one band (i.e., "B1" to "A1").
Next Chan:  Increment the tuned channel-code by one channel # (i.e., "A1" to "A2").
Prev Chan:  Decrement the tuned channel-code by one channel # (i.e., "A2" to "A1").

Scan Group

Chan Scan:  Perform a band scan and display the channels with RSSI (signal strength) levels above the "Min RSSI" level.  Only the channels with the highest RSSI values are shown.
Frequency:  Perform a band scan and display the channels with RSSI levels above the "Min RSSI" level.  All detected channels are shown.
Min RSSI:  Enter the minimum-RSSI value for scans (and monitor functions).  Channels with RSSI (signal strength) levels above this value are considered to have a signal on them.
Auto Tune:  Perform a band scan and tune the receiver to the channel with the strongest signal (highest RSSI).
Graph Scan:  Display the Graph Scan screen.

Monitor Group

Next Ch:  Tune the receiver to the next channel among those detected to have a signal on them.  The band is scanned as needed to detect which channels have signals.
Prev Ch:  Tune the receiver to the previous channel among those detected to have a signal on them.  The band is scanned as needed to detect which channels have signals.
Monitor:  Automatically tune the receiver through the channels detected to have a signal on them, changing channels on a periodic basis.  The band is scanned as needed to detect which channels have signals.
List:  Display the "Select Monitor/Scan Channels" dialog (see below).
Interval:  Enter the interval value (in seconds) for the automatic channel switching of the Monitor-button function.
Rescan:  Perform a band scan to detect which channels have signals.

Fine Group

+1 MHz:  Increase the value of the frequency tuned on the receiver by 1 MHz.
-1 MHz:  Decrease the value of the frequency tuned on the receiver by 1 MHz.
+10 MHz:  Increase the value of the frequency tuned on the receiver by 10 MHz.
-10 MHz:  Decrease the value of the frequency tuned on the receiver by 10 MHz.
+100 MHz:  Increase the value of the frequency tuned on the receiver by 100 MHz.
-100 MHz:  Decrease the value of the frequency tuned on the receiver by 100 MHz.

General Buttons

Terminal:  Enter Terminal mode, in which CLI commands may be executed.
Disconnect:  Close the Bluetooth connection to the receiver.

Graph Scan Screen Buttons

Values:  Pause the scan and display a dialog showing the numeric RSSI values for all the channels.  The channel with the highest RSSI value is selected and tuned on the receiver, and selecting a channel on the dialog will tune it on the receiver.
Pause:  Pause the scan.  The channel with the highest RSSI value is indicated on the graph and tuned on the receiver.  Touching bars displayed on the graph will tune the receiver to the associated channel (and show channel / RSSI information below the graph).
Close:  Close the graph and return to the Operation Screen.

Monitor/Scan Channels List

The 'List' button will display a dialog containing frequency and "preset" items that may selected to populate the monitor/scan-channels list.  If the list is not empty then only the channels in the list will be scanned and displayed by the monitor ("Next Ch", "Prev Ch", "Monitor", "Rescan" buttons), channel-scan ("Chan Scan" button) and auto-tune ("Auto Tune" button) functions.   If the list is empty then all channels will be scanned.  The "preset" items (at the bottom) may be used to select their associated sets of frequencies.  Pressing the "Clear" button will deselect all items.
