Hi!

Is it possible to add configurtion checkbox to control bias tee in (supported) RTL-SDR dongles?

e.g.:

Thanx!

Looks like we should manipulate by GPIO#0 with standard rtl-sdr library's func: rtlsdr_set_bias_tee_gpio():

As long as the driver/API supports this setting, this shouldn't be a problem. I think, the challenging point is that it has to be a generic solution for URH, i.e. work with ALL RTL-SDR devices. Thus the driver must be able to identify whether the used RTL-SDR is suitable.

Hey, thanks for opening that pull request. I will have a look but I currently do not have a RTLSDR with me to verify that the code doesn't break anything.

Hey @jirjirjir
there was an error in the ci.yml that made your checks fail. Could you make a new PR with the current master?
