Hi, I searched the boards and didn't see an answer to this and have been trying to find an answer on Google. Maybe my inexperience is keeping me from the right search terms.
I don't really understand how you use SDRuno to demodulate a data signal. Specifically, I want to grab the 900Mhz signal from my itron power meter. I've seen code for interfacing directly with an RTL-SDR (rtlamr), but just from a core concept perspective I think I'm missing something. Do I need to write my own program to interface with the SDRPlay directly, or interface with SDRuno as middleware through an API, or does SDRuno have some capacity to demodulate a signal within the application? I'm not afraid of writing code (or cribbing off of rtlamr), but would like to better understand how SDRuno supports the demodulation of signals. I'm very new to SDRs, and maybe should have started with a simpler device (RTL-SDR?) but I hate buying things twice and just figure the SDRPlay is a good place to start.
Can anyone offer help?
