Jason, I'm not sure if you're asking for hardware, software, or configuration recommendations.
- What in what digital format/syntax is the original data generated/acquired in? - Are you asking is there's middleware already in existence that can convert it to Xastir-readable data (e.g. APRS)? - You asked for: "Any recommendations for some network capable digi / igate / etc software that will run on a beagle bone and do this?" - XASTIR (as long as it meets memory/CPU thresholds). - Explain the exact type of network capability you are trying to have, Xastir is capable of things like iGating, etc; but you didn't describe what you want to do with remote access. Your solution may be as simple as enabling VNC desktop sharing or SSH console access. - You mentioned that you don't have a lot of rigs; but want >2 channels...I'm not sure how this works into your design, how many rigs do you have? - Your last paragraph mentions that one rig is a Kenwood D700...this devices talk in APRS, describe the software/hardware that will have non-standard tracking data, format of the data, etc. 73, KB3VWG On 01/03/2016 12:00 PM, [email protected] wrote:
I'm working on a tracking system that's only partly APRS based, but converts to APRS as that's where most of my tracking gear/experience exists. I'm looking for digipeating capability with >2 channels, and the ability to network (e.g. tcp or up data sources, remote connection to xastir, etc). Any recommendations for some network capable digi / igate / etc software that will run on a beagle bone and do this? I'm sort of leaning toward a fairly dumb script setup since that's easy and I have N channels that are RX-only and an APRS frequency that could be TX only. I would like to get xastir plugged in here somewhere, preferably with TX/RX capability and without using another radio. (the easy solution is throwing a bunch of hrware at the problem, but i don't have a dozen APRS rigs). The basic system is a serial data stream that has APRS data (text format, not true ax.25 therefore not KISS capable). There are one or more of these receivers as well as an APRS radio (Kenwood D700) to gateway to APRS-RF (non-144.39 channel). -Jason kg4wsv ------------------------------
