Pluto.php. Modified and updated for new DATV channels and other features (IS0GRB)

Good morning, i modified and updated the pluto.php page with the new DATV channels of the WB bandplan with reference to the BATC site.

The modification is based on the latest version modified by Colin G4EML

I have also inserted other changes requested by my friend Rocco IK8XLD and others to make the control of the Pluto easier.

Following are the implementations made:

pluto.php mods:

1. Change of new QO-100 DATV channels with reference to QO-100 WB Bandplan (BATC Wiki)

(https://wiki.batc.org.uk/QO-100_WB_Bandplan)

2. Inserted the downlink frequency (10491 - 10499) next to the Symbol Rate values to have a clearer and more immediate view of where to transmit, without making calculations using the 2.4GHz frequency

3. Modified Power slide; longer to allow easier adjustment, now with 0.1dB steps

4. Change of Power value, now from -79 to +10 dBm, 0.1dB steps

5. Inserted at the top of the page the button to view the QO-100 WB bandplan on the BATC Wiki page

To update the new page, even if only in running mode, connect the external power supply to the Pluto, insert the contents of the zip file package into a FAT32 USB pen and connect it to the Pluto using the OTG adapter.

After a few seconds the flashing LED becomes fixed, this confirms that Pluto has mounted the USB mass storage.

Wait 10 seconds and reconnect the USB cable to the PC.

It is possible to use an OTG HUB to avoid doing this every time it is restarted.

Upon restart, Pluto will automatically mount the USB stick and execute the "runme0.sh" script by copying the new files to the / www folder

The package can be picked up at the following address:

I'm working to finalize the changes without this procedure, at the moment the only one possible without compiling a new firmware

I hope it is to your liking.

I just re-inserted the package, i made a small correction on a javascript related to the SR 1500.

If someone has already downloaded it, i ask the courtesy to download again.

If you notice any anomalies let me know

The link is the same:

Ok just correct an anomaly in the visualization of the channel after "Apply Settings", now however show always "Custom" when get parameters from settings.txt after applying them, as i had to include the same freqs. for multiple SRs and the original script included in the php page had a problem in association "freq<->channel" even if the other set values were correct.

In order not to carry out this operation manually every time the Adalm Pluto is turned off, it is possible to use the Y-shaped OTG cable described in this guide (http://www.dd1us.de/Downloads/…20Area%20Network%20v2.pdf), so that at start-up the Pluto automatically loads the script from the USB stick directly and you can connect also the pc at the same time.

Fixed again the pluto.php, now you can correctly display the downlink frequency after applying the settings.

It is necessary to download the package again and copy all the files contained, some have been updated

Updated the README file for info on problems in connecting the USB stick

Hi Robert, using the OTG - Y - cable it is possible to connect a USB stick and a PC to the Pluto at the same time

Roberto IS0GRB

Hi Robert it is possible that there are differences with the Y cables.

The OTG cable differs from the normal USB cable only for pin 4 which instead of being disconnected is connected to ground for autodetect.

Some on the socket that is connected to the PC do not have a data connection but only a input power supply.

Alternatively you can connect a power supply to the pluto on the right socket, with the OTG cable connect the USB stick and load the new files that the script will overwrite and after 10seconds then reconnect the original pluto cable to the pc leaving the power supply connected.

Good morning, if you have the Pluto connected to the internet with the USB-Ethernet adapter or if you have followed my procedure to connect it to the internet without the ethernet adapter described in this post -> (How to connect Adalm Pluto to the Internet without using the USB / Ethernet adapter) you can give these commands and you will have the loading of the new pluto.php without connecting the USB stick.

Attached the txt file with the commands; selecting all the content including the first empty line will do very quickly.
Just copy / paste on the Pluto after the reboot and you are ready.

If your Pluto have a USB/Ethernet adapter probably will have a different IP from 192.168.2.1 so you must remove the first line on my txt file commands "route add -net 0.0.0.0 gateway 192.168.2.10", because probably not match with your default gateway Ethernet configuration

Hi Robert the analysis page is not modified from my package; it is a default page on Pluto with F5OEO firmware

Here work fine when i transmit; so try to reboot Pluto and update again the package.
Sometimes Pluto has strange reactions.

The IP address is the default 192.168.2.1 and pluto.php doesn't modify the IP.

Are you using a H265 box? May be the IP address doesn't match
Thanks for trying my update, i hope you like it

Roberto IS0GRB

Hi Robert no, do not change the IP in config.txt only settings on settings.txt

Roberto IS0GRB

If you are using a h264/h265 box try to set the real IP in the form in the center of the pluto.php

If your Pluto have a USB/ethernet adapter and a mostly different IP from 192.168.2.1 so you must remove the first line on my txt file commands "route add -net 0.0.0.0 gateway 192.168.2.10", because probably not match with your default gateway configuration
