[Rigserve-devel] DCC'07

[A. M. B. <aa...@am...>]

Nice to hear Martin's talk at DCC today.

In the past I wrote my own stuff to control
the RX-320, adopted pcrlib and packaged it
for Debian to control my PCR-1000 (even though
I use pcrsat most often for that),and more
recently wrote stuff to control an Icom ID-1.

If you connect an ID-1 to your Linux box via
its USB port, the first thing you might notice
is that Linux recognizes the ID-1 USB as a serial
device and loads the right driver for you. That
would be because I have already figured out what
was needed and sent a patch along to the kernel
USB maintainers.

I started writing a control application in Python.
It actually uses the model of translating human readable
command lines and CI-V sentances back and forth.
It should fit nicely in the rigserve environment.

I'd like to do two things with GUIs
 - a curses interface like pcrsat because that is so elegant.
 - a wx gui like GnuRadio since that runs everywhere.

I've checked out rigserve's SVN, the curious can
visit http://amrad.org/svn
and see what I've been up to, and ponder what might
be worth merging.
