Integrate a TNC Modem with KISS interface #51

Open desaiamogh opened 6 months ago

desaiamogh commented 6 months ago

Hi, In your future work section you mentioned about "Maybe integrate a TNC Modem with KISS interface? (I am not sure if that is worth the effort)"

It would help a great deal to the community if a KISS tnc which can do 1200/9600 baud can be added to this cable.

Most 9600 baud tnc projects use rare components and there are hardly any designs currently available in production or sale which were released few years ago. I believe almost all projects died in the covid aftermath. There are so many email over VHF projects like TARPN that are alive and popular, but new members joining these networks is very difficult due to unavailability of TNCs, modems and need of specific ancient data rigs, etc.

Is there a plan for integrating a kiss modem?

Similar work seems to have been done at https://github.com/mobilinkd/NucleoTNC

using a STM32L432KC

Sorry for the late reply. Yeah that sounds certainly interesting. Although at the current point I would strongly suggest to separate this into a separate firmware, since it's not easy at all to integrate this into the current firmware.

Unfortunately I don't have enough time on my hands for this, nor do I have the right experience, equipment and also no HAM license. But I am open to having people work on porting the NucleoTNC project to the AIOC hardware. It should be compatible with their license, from what I can tell.
