Re: [Hamlib-stationserver] Status

[Howard N. <hl...@cm...>]

Thank you, Nate.

The project uses the Raspberry PI GPIO for an onboard Winkeyer, but also
supports external Winkeyers and rigctld connections which send Morse through
CAT.  You can assign one keyer per radio, using multiple Winkeyers or
CAT/rigctld connections for many radios.

The code is written in HTML5, jQuery and PHP 7 running on an Apache server.
UI is through any web browser, but will also be possible through a
Kenwood-like interface.  CommCat Mobile (my creation) for iOS will use this
interface.  VoIP is provided using an onboard audio board or external
devices.

It is username/password protected, with different security levels for
different levels of access.

You can see more at https://rigpi.com

I'm working with MFJ on the hardware side.  They will sell a plug 'n play
RigPi ready to go.

I am not sure as the discussion went cold four years ago as you note.  I set
up the list to facilitate discussion of such ideas and to answer questions
regarding Hamlib as best I could.

I would say that so long as your project doesn't require specific hardware
support of the Pi and is portable to x86 and other ARM hardware, you should
have a winner.

Since the time this list was created, Hamlib has made more use of the GitHub
resources available.

I think that is needed in this day and age.

Feel free to use this list for your project.  As long as SourceForge stays
up, it should be reliable.
