Lack of DBUS interface to control and access data from Qspectrumanalyzer from other external applications.

[stman]

Hello.

Would it be possible to have a DBUS interface managed in Qspectrumanalyzer so that :

• We can change qspectrumanalyzer settings from other external applications using a DBus interface.

• We can access in real time to computed and displayed data of Qspectrumanalyzer from other external applications.

The most urgent would be to be able to access to computed data from external application through the Dbus interface, but adding all necessary commands to be able to change its settings from external applications would be great too in a second time.

It's not a lot of work to do, but it would be done faster if the main developers would do it themselves and because implementing DBus interfaces (server) in python is rather easy.

I am asking this new functionnality because I am coding a satellite and local source DEW (Directed Energy Weapons) tracking and triangulation application, that is driving servo motor on 3 axis to position accurately antennas, and I am using a HackRF one large spectrum analysis window functionnality (Sweep mode) to monitor a 7 GHz window, with directionnal antenna.

My hardware is simple and based on very low cost components bought in china, on ali baba, and is very easily reproductible, and I am coding my servo driving application in C under GTK, and I will publish it when finished with a free licence on my github account : It allows to browser more than a half sphere directions, with user customizable step, and then it is displaying its results in the form of various graphics allowing to easily locale sources directions/positions (if satellites), or enable triangulation if local sources involved.

I am looking forward to hearing from you,

Kind regards,

Stman.

I have been looking at the Qspectrumanalyzer Python code today, and it's pretty clean and well written & commented, so I think I am going to do this DBus interface extension for external application myself. Will let everybody know about my progress, and will propose a merge with current version.
