Pascal,
I'm discussing with the maker of the TNC-X the possibility of him making and selling the boards. If that doesn't come off, I'll at least make the PCB and software availabale, so you can build your own.

Re: PI TNC - progress report.
I wasn't really thinking of direct user access. More a well
sited dual (or more) port node, with?normal?user acess port(s), and a
link back to a base site, using directional antennas if necessary I'd expect a
range of several miles - I've seen reports of these things being used in high
altitude baloons, implying a line of sight range of several miles.with wire
antennas.

Just curious, but how could such low-power transceivers be of any practical
use for packet? Wouldn't the RF footprint be so limited that hardly anyone in
the neighborhood would be able to use it? Am I missing something here... or is
the plan to use an amplifier for wider coverage?

Re: PI TNC - progress report.
Paul,
Look at what people are doing with Wi-Fi routers; if I'm not mistaken, those don't put out much more power and people can get ranges of up to 10 miles out of them with directional antennas.

Hi,
?
For those fairly new to the
group, I have been working on a TNC for use with the
pI that is the same size as the pi and plugs into the
expansion header. The prototype was a TNC-X, with a 26
way header superglued to board. There is a photo of it
on the home page of this group.

I've now received the first
PCB's, and built a couple. There are photos at ??and
.
The TNC is largely based on the TNC-X, but I've
replaced the serial port with an i2c connection, so
more than one can be connected to the PI. The current
board has?a mini-DIN? radio connector, but I find
mini-DIN plugs very difficult to wire, and the
connector is just too high to stack properly, so the
final version will probably have a DB9. I've written a
linux driver that takes the i2c data stream, and
converts to a pty that can be used with the normal
linux ax.25 kissattach program. All this seems to be
working.
?
I've a couple of
developments in the pipeline. One is to replace the MX
614 modem, hopefully with a PIC based solution.
Although the 614 works very well, it is relatively
exensive, and only works at 1200 baud. I hope to be
able to run at 300 for HF use. I've also bought a couple
of RFM22B modules. These are tiny 100 mW 434MHz data

manually.

WiFi
is now supported out of the box
If
your WiFi driver is supported by the default linux tree, or is based on the
popular RTL8188CUS chipset, then WiFi should work out of the box. Boot the image
with the WiFi dongle plugged in (a powered hub is recommended). Run startx and
select “WiFi Config”. You can scan for wireless networks and enter your wireless
password and connect from the GUI. No need to install additional packages or
scripts.
See .

improvements.
