Re: Need help with KISS client implementation in C++
Did you ever get this written? I'm brainstorming how to write a KISS packet terminal and I'm wondering if a KISS library already exists. I haven't been able to find much and writing one from scratch may be a bit over my head.

Re: "Sent" packets in KISS terminal
wb2osz kind of coded it up in a day or so for me as a special request for balloon tracking.?? I only attached 1 KISS device (an APRS client), so can't say whether it would send to all attached devices - but would assume so. Again - unidirectional! I am actually going to track a special balloon tonight for the University of Michigan aerospace department (graduate student project). I will give it a try and see if multiple attached KISS clients get the data. This is what it looked like in 'my app' - tracking balloon callsign KE8PTV-11?(falling)?- last year.  The KF6RFX-15 (rising)?was another one of the balloons we were tracking.? There were 5 total, but only 3 in the air at once. We could (of course) only point at 1 of them at a time.? We switch to the 'next landing' balloon for recovery. ----- Rob KB8RCO

Re: "Sent" packets in KISS terminal
Thanks for that Rob.? I vaguely remember this one
but it's not documented anywhere other so I kept my mouth shut.
:-)? I now see it in the DEV branch's source code but there is no
real description of what this is in the Git commit log either.? If
this user has a RF channel configured via direwolf.conf "CHANNEL
0", to forward any IGATE heard trafficthat way, would configure
"IChannel 0" here?? Do you know if specifying MULTIPLE destination
channels is possible here?

Some time ago I requested the APRS-IS traffic be
available over TCP-KISS port.
That was implemented in V1.7C, and you can assign the port in the
configuration file:
#############################################################
#? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?VIRTUAL TNC SERVER PROPERTIES? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?#
#############################################################
AGWPORT 8000
KISSPORT 8001
IChannel 15
In this configuration, any packets received from APRS-IS (met
any filtering requirements, etc.) would be sent to any attached
KISS client on port 15.
Since Direwolf was acting as my internet server,?I used this
with a filters to receive any packets from a specific callsign
to my 'special use' client application.
NOTE:? Traffic was (assumed still 'is') unidirectional - internet
to client ONLY.
Is that what you are asking about?

It's not very clear to me what you mean by "KISS
terminal".? Are you asking if a packet comes via the APRS-IS TCP
connection, you would want that packet to be sent out on all KISS
interfaces as well?? If so, I'm not aware of Direwolf supporting
such a feature but you
might consider modifying Direwolf's source code yourself to
support this odd functionality.? Alternatively, I
vaguely remember seeing some Linux native user-based programs
supporting replication of KISS frames across all interfaces ( KISS
MUX: ) but
to use it, I believe that would mean you would need to stop using
APRS-IS within Direwolf and you would need to do all this with
external Linux programs that natively support Linux's AX.25 stack.
Good luck with your project

Re: Pi Zero ALSA wrecking
Hello Matt,
Gave up, Wiped, reinstalled, running ok with
Shot-gunned conf and sh files sprinkled in each directory (I
hope).
Good to hear things are working now.
Would like to 'force' 48KHz sampling shows as E/3, Yes
I know it 'hogs' TOP in this instance indicated not more than 20%
proc but absolutely nothing else is going to be in there.
If you want to hard code the sound card to run at 48Khz instead of
say 44.1Khz, this can be specified in the ARATE line in the direwolf
conf file per Section 9.1.5 in the Direwolf User guide.? That said,
you probably won't see any improvement in terms of performance,
increase decodes, etc.? Next, if you don't want to run
one-third-sampling rate which is the default on the Raspberry Pi,
explicitly add the "/1" without the quotes to the MODEM line.? This
is documented in the table in Section 9.2.2 of the Direwolf User
Guide.? Please note that depending on your Raspberry Pi model
(especially slow boards like the Rpi 1 or Rpi Zero), this might HURT
your packet performance.
In fact any Bullseye armhf lite "Stripping"
suggestions would be helpful.
Can you describe what you mean by "Stripping"?? Do you mean
hardening for things like security, longer SD card life, etc?
Still can't get crontab auto-starting, though.
Anything out there less 'user-belligerent' to try?
Are you seeing a specific error?

Hey Adrian,
Author and Maintainer of Linpac here.? There are lots of good

"Sent" packets in KISS terminal
Is there a way to have KISS also read/output packets that are being sent by Direwolf to RF?
My use case is that my messaging and net bot, which runs on top of IORETH - - reads and responds to messages as part of the APRSPH net - .
IORETH connects via KISS.
Messages that arrive via RF are properly processed. However, messages from my own igate are not read unless they are also digipeated by other stations in the path.
I am using Direwolf 1.6, recently upgraded to 1.7 running on a Raspberry Pi.

"Sent" packets in KISS terminal
Is there a flag or setting to enable packets that are being transmitted by Direwolf to be read by the KISS terminal?
I had been using DW 1.6 and recently compiled 1.7 on Raspbian.
My use case is that my digipeater and igate reside on the same machine as the APRSPH bot, which I modified on top of IORETH - https://github.com/jangelor/ioreth - to act as an automated NET and message handling system - .
It works OK when packets are heard from RF, since IORETH connects via KISS. However, when packets come in from APRS-IS, IORETH is not able to read them because KISS does not display them.
The only way for IORETH to read the packets is when other stations digipeat them and it appears on the KISS terminal.
I have a vague recollection (but not 100% sure) of sent packets being included in KISS when I was still running Direwolf from an OSX machine, but since I moved my digipeater to Raspberry Pi, it was no longer the case.
So far my temporary workaround is to turn off my igate and just use direwolf as a digipeater and KISS terminal for IORETH. But it sometimes misses messages being sent from APRS-IS, as it now depends on other digipeaters/igates in my vicinity.
Any leads would be appreciated.

Re: Pi Zero ALSA wrecking
Ok.. one problem down since you disabled the Igate config.?
Next is an issue with all your errors when you run "arecord -l".?
The missing left side of the screen makes things hard here but as a
guess, have you created a .asoundrc file on your Pi for the "pi"
user?? If so, please rename or delete the file, reboot and try the
command again.

Re: Pi Zero ALSA wrecking
Hello Matt,
Your right, a picture is worth a 1000 keystrokes.? The error is
very clear:
?? "Temporary failure in name resolution"
If you look at it carefully, you have "noan.aprs2.net".? Notice
there is an "n" in there instead of the correct "m" character.? It
should be "noam.aprs2.net".? Make that correction in your
direwolf.conf file and try restarting it.

OK. I'm going to try again tomorrow. I'll use FX.25 on transmit, instead of the default AX.25 and see whether anyone gates me to the internet. I obviously got one packet into an i-gate but I need to work on reliability.
