[wsjt-devel] rigctlcom

[Black M. <mdb...@ya...>]

I need some testers for a new hamlib program I'm calling "rigctlcom".  It is a TS-2000 emulator that will allow programs that don't know FLRig or rigctld to talk to those two programs.
App->COMX->COMY->rigctlcom->rig
This will allow you to run, for example, N1MM and WSJT-X both accessing your rig through FLRig or rigctld.  Should also work with MMTTY or any other such program.  Does not quite work yet with WSJT-X but WSJT-X can connect to rigctld or flrig so it's not really needed there.
Here's a link to a Windows executable.  You'll have to install WSJT-X if you don't already have it.And using FLRig will easily allow multiple programs to connect to your rig so install that too.  It will also allow multiple connections with rigctld as the primary rig if you want to go that route.

Place the executable in the wsjtx\bin directory where rigctl.exe resides.
You need a virtual serial port program like Eltima's or this free one.https://freevirtualserialports.com/

#1 Create a bridged serial port pair.  e.g. COM9/COM10#2 Run rigctlcom to connect to FLRig (or rigctld) and one of the virtual COM ports...e.g. COM9    rigctlcom -m 4 -r 127.0.0.1:12345 -R COM9 -S 115200
#3 Run your other program, e.g. N1MM and connect it to the other COM port...e.g. COM10 as a TS-2000 8-N-1 115200baud#4 If you want to run multiple programs via COM ports you'll need another instance of rigctlcom for each app that needs a COM port.
