Welcome to the SDRplay developers programme page for companies developing new applications using an SDRplay RSP.
SDRplay helps provide all the necessary hardware and software toolchains needed for development.
Documented API
We have a documented API for all our RSP models – the documentation can be found here
The API can be downloaded for your choice of OS by going to https://www.sdrplay.com/softwarehome/ and filling in your choice from the dropdown menu.
SDRuno Plugins support
Our windows- based SDRuno now supports plugins and we welcome plugin developers where we can help promote your software whether you provide it free of charge or want to sell it. The SDRplay SDRuno user base is big and growing so this may be a way to attract customers for your application. Click here to find out more about our plugin system, including tools for developers
This recent webinar explained the SDRuno plugin system and showcased the first plugins made available – there was also be a section at the end, especially for plugin developers: https://youtu.be/qCFsIsZYPKQ
Here’s the link to the special FaceBook Group for plugin developers where you can test out your software with willing beta testers
