Name for a lib?


Pavel Milanes Costa
 

Hi.

I'm working in something named arcs-bitx (a mix of arduino-arcs + bitx) and I like to separate the ingenious tune mechanism of the bitx (analog lineal pot tune) on a own lib.

I'm not english born/native, I have read different names for that: shuttle tune, moving slot, smart pot, etc.

What would be the most accurate name for a lib like that?

Thanks.

Pavel,

Culturally, I would stay away from "pot" and "auto-tune".

What would you consider its key abstraction?

Rate tune, proportionality? PTune.lib, EZtune.lib.

Good luck. Sounds useful.

The ability to use a simple linear volume control as tune control for a radio...

If you think about it's like a moving slot under a calibrated ribbon that allows you to see the whole dimension trough it with precise accuracy but one slot size at the time.

Moving Slot Tune? MST?

The shuttle concept is near also (Now I have time to google for it definition): ShuttleTune?

I would like to be cultural and technically precise about it, in my main project arduino-arcs the name selection was not very good... I was short of ideas that time. ;-)

ARCS stands for Amateur Radio Control & Clock Solution.

That's why I request help from the list: collective thinking.

Haven't I seen "Stutter Tune" and "Flutter Tune" on the site? What about "End-Stop Tuning" since that sorta describes how it works.

On 40m, it moves through 3000 khz. ?Call it MST3000?

3000 hecto-Hertz. ?In the USA at least.
