I started my interest in trains (and later, amateur radio) because I was a train enthusiast myself (and still am). Now, both interests have become more of a hobby than a passion.
I accidentally found a man using an SDR receiver near my railway, and I always thought that this device required a special piece of equipment. However, I was surprised to find that the software for this device is now open-source on the internet!
In that case, I won't be polite. The SDR I purchased was an RTL-SDR built with an RTL2832U and FC0013, which I bought from a website called "Mei You" for 50 yuan (RMB), plus an additional antenna.
I also want to thank BI7ALG for their work on this open-source project at that time. @BI7ALG First, he shared his small idea with a group of people in Yuzhang County. He wanted to use the IQ stream decoding from OpenWebRX, but it seemed like no matter how he tried, he couldn't get it to work. As a software engineer (self-proclaimed, still unemployed), I decided to write a compatible version of OpenWebRX for him using AI. After spending a whole day on it, I finally managed to make it work in the evening.
Coincidentally, my SDR also arrived the next day, and after testing, I found that it was functional.
However, the original open-source version was a CLI (command-line interface) version with limited functionality. Personally, I believe that in this era of AI dominance, as long as prompt engineering is well-executed, anything can be generated!
Therefore, I decided to develop a desktop application that would be compatible with both OWRX and traditional RTL-TCP. With the help of AI, I was able to complete this software in just one day.
Of course, this software was based on many works by experts, so it is also open-source.
The open-source address is as follows:CR_LBJ_Receiver
Here are some images:
Of course, as a re-implementation software, there will inevitably be some bugs. We welcome feedback and suggestions from everyone on GitHub.
If you could please star this on GitHub, it would really help me out in the future.
