SigDigger 0.1 must be the first usable release of SigDigger, aimed at productive work and with the goal of being included in official GNU/Linux distribution repositories. The roadmap for version 0.1 boils down to closing the following issues:
- Redistributable .dmg files for MacOS X with working audio support.
- Panoramic spectrum view. ✔️
- General UI artwork and icon set by Shiki Owo.
- Bandplan configuration. ✔️
- Save demodulated audio to file. ✔️
- Autodetect sample rate of I/Q files. ✔️
- Zoom / scrollbars in SymView. ✔️
- Time-domain view. ✔️
- Save SymView as picture data. ✔️
- Various UX improvements ✔️
- Predefined SDR settings. ✔️
- Port the AudioPlayback implementation to portaudio, so it also runs on macOS ✔️
- Fix slow audio response to demod. ✔️
- Fix inspector channel properties
- Turn gains into real numbers. ✔️
- Fix annoying analyzer error when central frequency is out of bounds. ✔️
- Codec controls?
- TLE-based Doppler correction.
This section contains features that are essential to have in the app, but not a first priority to add in the 0.1 release:
- Add the package to Homebrew so macOS users can easily install it without the need for downloading the image. Should investigate to see how easy and straightforward it is for GUI apps.
- Add audio redirect so the sound can be forwarded to a virtual sound card, so digital mode decoding is possible (via other decoder apps)
- Having a squelch-controlled recording option, so users can record portions of the spectrum, only when a signal is present. This may need a proprietary file format, as this is different than a regular I/Q recording, because there need to be timestamps included in the recordings, to be able to distinguish the recording sections. I think generally it's good to have 2 options for our current I/Q recorder as well. One simple, and one with timestamps. We can get ideas from the file format of WinRadio Excalibur, Elad FDM-S2 and Perseus SDR.
- Currently we only use the default audio output device. In future releases, it would be more preferable to show a list of existing output devices and let the user choose it. It actually solves the 2nd item from nice-to-have features (audio redirect)
