[wsjt-devel] COM Control with WSJT-X...

[Marty W. <mar...@gm...>]

Hello All,

I have a USB relay that I want to use with WSJT-X for FT-8 and WSPR that
acts as a COM port when plugged in, but has the very definite strings to
activate and deactivate the relay on the board - that protocol is:

Activate: Sending AA on the COM Port to activate relay

Deactivate: Sending BB on the BOM Port to deactivate the relay

I'm not seeing anything where control strings can be sent out the COM port
for PTT control, only that you connect to the COM port and RTS/CTS are used
to control keying. Is there a way to accomplish this in WSJT-X now (through
a helper app) or is this going to be a new request for the means to toggle
relays off a COM port with string commands?

Please advise - I'd love to know if WSJT-X does that now somehow - so
please do let me know.
