Working on a test framework project for #Hamlib amateur radio device control library, funded by @ARDC. Our goal is to have all supported CAT control commands tested in an automated way to improve the quality and reliability of Hamlib!
Hope to share the initial release of the test framework codebase soon.
Oh, and the relays in this transceiver still seem happy π π€
Happy new year 2οΈβ£ 0οΈβ£ 2οΈβ£ 6οΈβ£ π ! This year, Web Radio Control remote control software will get some long-awaited updates: a redesigned web user interface (screenshots to follow soon), software update mechanism and plenty of improvements to make setup easier than ever.
We're also working on some significant new features on #Hamlib software with @OH3CUF - check out the @ARDC -funded project plan in GitHub: https://github.com/orgs/Hamlib/projects/1

I fixed one bug. #WaveLog wants to hear from the radio from time to time, so I made it send updates at least minutely even if there has been no change.
I also fixed several configuration errors that all got in the way of a proper release with binaries, so WaveLogGoat release 0.0.5 has been posted with binaries built for 12 different platforms.
The hamlib / rigctrld support is still not tested. Looking for someone who uses #hamlib / #rigctrld and would like a lightweight bridge to WaveLog!
This past weekend I operated in a #hamradio #contest, with #FreeBSD and #sway on the logging computer, with help from #tlf, #cwdaemon, and #hamlib for actually interacting with the radio.
It worked better than the antenna, and the antenna worked pretty well.
It's a #niche within a #niche within a #niche but it makes me #grateful for #opensource.
An interesting script for #FT991A I came across on groups.io
Yaesu FT-991A Symlink Helper
Then I found the windows implementation of #direwolf not satisfying as it doesn't work with #Hamlib, which forced me to use the DTR signal from one of my rig's virtual com port. Only the Linux implementation works with Hamlib.
So I had to switch to Linux and consider moving #Winlink as well which is developed only for windows. I tried some manual install in the past but didn't succeed.
But this time, I found ...
