Update: I got the IR Emitter working so the XDR is remote-controllable now.
For the XDRManager.ini file, do I just fill in the station call letters in the "Name" field for each frequency? Does "HD Programs = 1" mean the station is broadcasting in HD?
[87.5]
Name=No Name
HD Programs=0
Thanks!

Another update
I followed the instructions from
http://ukradio.info/GT-XDR to interface the XDR to Seeeduino, including the 1K resistors in series with SDA and SDL. Enabled RDS in XDRManager. With Debug output enabled, it displays "DEBUG_Socket---> TXT No%20Name" every 5 seconds. Makes no difference whether the XDR is on or off, or tuned to an RDS/RBDS station or not.
I used an oscilloscope to verify there is digital data getting to the Seeeduino. It looks good, around 3.3V P-P.
My guess is this could be a serial timing issue since the Seeeduino 3.0 is a faster board but that's just a guess.
I'm using Digital Pins 2 & 3 for SDA and SCL respectively, and Gnd.
Anyone have any ideas for me?
Thanks.
