*******24.de is hosting a development competition for a special "Dxer's-Plugin" for Enigma 2 receivers in general and specially for the Azbox ME - based on the OpenPLi Images.

1 Laminas dish OFC 1200
1 DiSEqC USALS motor Jaeger SG 2500 (metal gear)
1 Inverto Ultra Black Single LNB
1 Azbox ME receiver

The winner will be announced during the DXer's meeting on June 16th, 2012 in Troebitz, Germany.


And these are the needs of the wanted DXer's Plugin:

1st: Channel Information

The Channel Information should be available directly by a selectable button.
It shall show channel infos like PIDs, tuner state, signal quality on only one single page. The signal quality has to be shown as "dB" - either the C/N or the MER must be shown. This page needs to be saved as screenshot. A further press on a button should directly go to the motor menu.

2. Motor Menu

This Motor Menu must be available by a press on a button.
The choice to change frequency and symbol rate on this menu must be possible. The transponder list has also to be shown by a dropdown menu on this page and the transponders must be selectable.
Signal strength must be visible as bars and digits in dB. In case of a lock, the signal bar needs to become green. The chosen and edited transponder should be saved on the satellites.xml file. There should be a manual scan of that transponder available on that page.
Transponders and satellites should be selectable by dropdown lists.
The motor must to be controlled in single steps by pressing the left-right buttons on the remote.

3rd: Blind Scan

It should be possible to select the found transponders after a blind scan from a list. Every selected transponder on that list have to be shown with signal strength in dB. All other important details should also be shown on that page.
It must be possible to do a single transponder blind scan instead of all found transponders. But also the choice to scan of all found transponders must be possible. All new found transponders have to be written to the satellites.xml

4th: Manual Transponder Scan

On this menu frequencies from the satellites.xml must be selectable by a list and to be selected for a single manual scan. The selected transponder needs to be edited and added to the satellites.xml file again.
It must be possible to select, edit and removable from the satellites.xml - also if no channels where found.

5th: Positionierer (Fibo-Box)

As additional plugin is to prove if the satellite positioner (i.e. Eycos-Fibo Box) might be integrated.
The corresponding control commands can be requested by email to info@fibo-box.com

Please send your testable plugin to *******24.de by email to info@*******24.de
