Re: Switching between iGate and Radio

Hello Kevin,

I have a telemetry application? that normally talks KISS to direwolf and it sends out via the radio.

Are you sending these packets out as APRS packets?


? ? My understanding is that if I want to send out via iGate,? I would do that via my KISS? program and direwolf would just send to whichever I choose.

To do that, you would want to use the fairly new and? Direwolf "ICHANNEL" feature.? You can read up more about that here: .? There are also some examples of using this in the email list archives: /g/direwolf/search?p=created%2C%2C%2C20%2C2%2C0%2C0&q=ICHANNEL


? ? Is there a way to configure things so that if the packet fails sending to one of the iGate servers I have listed (like my starlink is down) it will automatically route start using the radio?

I don't know if Direwolf currently can make this "either / or" decision but I think it CAN send to both but maybe that isn't what you want.? Alternatively, I could imagine a monitoring script running in parallel to Direwolf looking for the TCP connection to an APRS Igate and if that connection isn't up over a certain period of time or that specific path isn't able to ping some specific destination like 8.8.8.8, you have your KISS program send packets to a different Direwolf interface to only send via RF.
