[NSRCA-discussion] Model file editor/Converter

[John Pavlick]

Robert,
 I have a 12Z and a 12FG. I'm also an embedded systems Engineer and I've written a few PC applications using VB6 and VC++. I'd be glad to help with your project. Contact me off list with details.

  Ok I finally got my radio back and I'm working through the file format.  For those that would like to help me map out the futaba file format, please let me know which radio you have, and which module you use?  I need to know this to determine which set of files to send you to make changes to.  

   

  Obviously this will be easiest for the 12z and 14mz users that have a memory card and a way to access that memory card from their computer.  I figure I can use 2 good helpers in this endeavour.

    I want to see if there is interest in a model file editor that will open model files from Futaba 14MZ/12Z/12FG and/or JR 9303/10x/12x and allow editing and/or converting between any of those radios. If anyone is interested in such a utility, please let me know here. I would also need to know if anyone would be interested in helping test such a utility during development. 

    The utility would be able to do the following 

    1. Read .mdl files from Futaba 14MZ/12Z directly from memory card 
    2. Read .mdl files from Futaba 12FG after user moved file from memory card to harddrive using other available utilities. 
    3. Read model files from JR 9303/10x/12x after user moved files from radio using the PC link. 
    4. Allow editing all model files (to the extend I can decypher) 
    5. Convert model files from/to any of the above radio formats 
    6. Maintain database of model files and history of specific model files. 
    7. Generate XML file detailing model file definitions. 

    + any other good features you guys can come up with. 

    I already have a good headstart on the Futaba file format and can already make changes to that format. Its simply a matter of mapping the location of all the radio features. 

    Let me know....
