VARA with PAT


 

Is there any way to add VARA to PAT on our beloved Pis?

Ed, KD9FRQ "Freq" Radio


 

VARA is Windows only right now unfortunately. Last I read the developer had also stated he had no plans to bring it to Linux.


 

VARA does seem to send/receive audio on Pi 4B using ExaGear Desktop running Wine?(though I haven't tested sending/receiving actual signals).? VARA could theoretically be hooked by Pat to send/receive signals, though since the VARA developers aren't interested in Linux.

I think the best bet for getting VARA working on the Pi will be an x86 emulator running Wine running VARA on the Pi using either a custom i/o script (hooking into a command-line version of VARA maybe) or using RMS Express (also running on emulated?x86 w/ wine).

Hi wheez,
For some reason I'd missed seeing the other thread before typing my reply above. Great work you doing.
