ax25

Documentation

Overview

Package ax25 provides a net.Conn and net.Listener interfaces for AX.25.

Supported TNCs

This package currently implements interfaces for Linux' AX.25 stack and Tasco-like TNCs (Kenwood transceivers).

Build tags

The Linux AX.25 stack bindings are guarded by some custom build tags:

libax25 // Include support for Linux' AX.25 stack by linking against libax25.
static  // Link against static libraries only.

type KenwoodConn

type KenwoodConn struct{ Conn }

KenwoodConn implements net.Conn using a Kenwood (or similar) TNC in connected transparent mode.

Tested with Kenwood TH-D72 and TM-D710 in "packet-mode".

TODO: github.com/term/goserial does not support setting the line flow control. Thus, KenwoodConn is not suitable for sending messages > the TNC's internal buffer size.

We should probably be using software flow control (XFLOW), as hardware flow is not supported by many USB->RS232 adapters including the adapter build into TH-D72 (at least, not using the current linux kernel module.
