Hi John,
?
I assumed the likes of Farnell and CPC were still
trade-only, so I was thinking I might have trouble getting anyone to sell to
me.
?
No I don't fancy learning another machine language
at my age so it'll be?strictly "C", and I'll use as many of the existing
hooks as possible. No point in reinventing the wheel if the wheel works
;-)
?
Something else to swallow up my time,
lol!
?
73, Paula

Hi
Paula,
?
About a month ago I
ordered one from Farnell, and despite being quoted 6 weeks it arrived in two
days. This may have been a fluke, but the waiting list seems to be
disappearing..

If your ax.25 code
(like mine) is largely in assembler, then porting to the pi won’t be easy, but
C shouldn’t present too many problems. But linux already has ax.25 and Netrom
stacks, so you can take the higher level stuff, and hook it into the existing
stacks.

Hi all, I'm Paula G8PZT and I don't yet own a Pi but
would very much like to
:-)
My interest is in writing software for
data-over-radio networking, VOIP, and
SDR. Also have emcomms in the back
of my mind.
I am hoping to port my applications to the Pi, so I can
junk the power
hungry and space wasting PC's that power my packet systems
and VOIP
repeater. I'd also like to develop new applications to take
advantage of
this exciting little device.
I have very little
experience of Linux, being mainly a spare-time DOS and
Windows programmer
(asm/c/c++), but I'm hoping this device will finally give
me the push I
needed to get my apps ported to Linux.
Now I just need to buy one, or
more... ;-) [I was told there was a big
waiting list, so I waited for the
rush to die down]
