This repository contains the implementation of a SDR DAB/DAB+ receiver.
Please see the project website https://www.welle.io for a user oriented documentation.

welle.io is fork from dab-rpi and sdr-j-dab which is now qt-dab https://github.com/JvanKatwijk/qt-dab.

# welle.io -D rawfile -F test.sdr -B s16le

The following SDR devices are supported

• airspy (http://airspy.com/)
• rtl_sdr (http://osmocom.org/projects/sdr/wiki/rtl-sdr)
• rtl_tcp (http://osmocom.org/projects/sdr/wiki/rtl-sdr#rtl_tcp)
• I/Q RAW file (https://www.welle.io/devices/rawfile)
• The LimeSDR through SoapySDR (Connect your antenna to RX1_W).

The following libraries and their development files are needed:

• QT 5.7 (don't use QT 5.8 because of this bug)
• FFTW3f
• libfaad
• librtlsdr
• libusb

This sections shows how to compile welle.io on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

1. Install QT 5.7 including the QT Charts module by using the the "Qt Online Installer for Linux" https://www.qt.io/download-open-source/

2. Install the following packages

# sudo apt install libfaad-dev libfftw3-dev librtlsdr-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev mesa-common-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libpulse-dev

3. (optional) Compile and install the airspy library. For details please see https://github.com/airspy/host/#how-to-build-the-host-software-on-linux.
   If you don't install the airspy library you have to disable the airspy for the welle.io build. Open welle.io.pro and outcomment the following line.

#CONFIG += airspy

4. Clone welle.io

# git clone https://github.com/AlbrechtL/welle.io.git

5. Start QT Creator and open the project file "welle.io.pro" inside the folder "welle.io".
6. Build welle.io
7. Run welle.io and enjoy it

A compiled version can be found at the release page

This sections shows how to compile welle.io on Windows 10. Windows 7 should also be possible but is not tested.

1. Install QT 5.7 including the QT Charts and mingw modules by using the the "Qt Online Installer for Windows" https://www.qt.io/download-open-source/
2. Clone welle.io https://github.com/AlbrechtL/welle.io.git e.g. by using TortoiseGit.
3. Clone the welle.io Windows libraries https://github.com/AlbrechtL/welle.io-win-libs.git.
4. Start QT Creator and open the project file "welle.io.pro" inside the folder "welle.io".
5. Build welle.io
6. Run welle.io and enjoy it

To build for macOS, you need to install the dependencies with macports first, assuming you have macports installed:

# sudo port install fftw-3-single faad2 rtl-sdr libusb

1. Install Qt 5.7 with Qt Creator directly from Qt website, not through macports.
2. Clone welle.io

# git clone https://github.com/AlbrechtL/welle.io.git

3. Open welle.io.pro with QT Creator.
4. Make sure in Qt Creator, "Projects, Build&Run, Run" that the checkbox "Add build library path to DYLD..." is off.
5. Build and run.

A compiled version APK can be found at at the Google Play store or at the release page.
welle.io uses the "RTL2832U driver"(sources) from Martin Marinov.

This sections shows how to compile welle.io for Android.

1. Install QT 5.9 for Android including the QT Charts module by using the the "Qt Online Installer for Windows" https://www.qt.io/download-open-source/
2. Follow the side https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/androidgs.html to install the Android build enviroment
3. Clone welle.io https://github.com/AlbrechtL/welle.io.git

# git clone https://github.com/AlbrechtL/welle.io.git

4. Start QT Creator and open the project file "welle.io.pro" inside the folder "welle.io".
5. Build welle.io
6. Run welle.io and enjoy it

To build and run welle.io on a Raspberry Pi 2 and 3 with GPU acceleration, please visit this repository: https://github.com/AlbrechtL/dab-rpi_raspbian_image (outdated)

• Windows 8 and older are not offically supported
