About Robot36 - SSTV Image Decoder

Always wanted to create an Android version of an Robot36 decoder since I got an Android device.
So here it is and its open source (Apache License, Version 2.0):

https://github.com/xdsopl/robot36/tree/android

Patches are welcome :)

It decodes the following modes at the moment:

Robot Modes: 36 & 72
PD Modes: 50, 90, 120, 160, 180, 240 & 290
Martin Modes: 1 & 2
Scottie Modes: 1, 2 & DX
Wraase Modes: SC2 180

You can even watch old B/W or unsupported modes in the "Raw Mode".

If an calibration header gets detected, the resulting image will be saved in the "Pictures" directory and can be immediately seen in the Image gallery.

Switching away to another application will not stop the decoder and will continue to run in background.
To stop the decoder, you must exit via the "back" button of Android.

Here you can find my wife's free open source SSTV Encoder:

Here a schematic for a line or headphone output to microphone input converter:

There are still some things that need to be addressed but for now: please enjoy testing :)

I don't know why its so fun , there are definitely more efficient ways to convey information but its like playing cosmonaut

Pretty cool app. If you can set some parameters on the modes, especially raw it would be perfect. Stuff like timings and that I mean.

I have a Sony tablet with Android 4.0.3 that can no longer be updated. The app worked great with SSTV from the ISS, but no longer. Woukd like to go back to the previous version. Any help woukd be appreciated.

Great app! Remember to stop the scanning when you close the app, or it will destroy battery life. I'd really appreciate a toggle to automatically stop listening and processing.

App works for all phones. Take some time playing around with it first to get a hang of it. I got mine working and it has many options to choose from.

For some reason on my Galaxy S5 none of the options work, so I can't do anything but Robot 32.

This SSTV decoder is the best one I've seen on Google Play. Its images are very high quality. The only thing I noticed is how I can't find the images I recorded with the save button in the top right corner. The auto save doesn't work either. This happens on the Samsung Galaxy 3.

Sounds cool, dont know how to use.

I used this to get some pics from the ISS and it worked quite well. I only used the speaker/mic setup, and I'm sure a cable would have made a big difference. So pics from the ISS with a Baofeng and a tablet, I have spent $$100s in the past on SSTV gear so this is wonderful. I have now received quite a number of scans from the ISS.

But how about input selection? When I playing signal from file noise from microphone looks bad. And situation when you receiveing signal by mic and got notification (even in earphones) isn't good too.

I use this app often. I use it for SSTV over my phone. No laptop anymore.

Allows all popular sstv modes, and will automatically save images.

Managed to decode a pic from sstvencoder. Now waiting for better propagation conditions to decode broadcast images.

Finally a nice full featured sstv decoder. Also you could try to do an android port of pocketdigi? Sstv encoder needs text overlay urgently for proper QSO. You should link the two programs to send received picture within transmit picture. How about adding the old fast monochrome mode .Great work so far.

Finally a nice full featured sstv decoder. Please work on transmit! Add a donate button to help fund your work. Tested on moto g mk1. Also you could try to do an android port of pocketdigi so i can dump my old windows mobile smartphone. Possibility to integrate with sstv? EDIT: works great with sstv encoder! Full sstv setup in my pocket. Far better than the droidsstv app.
