Dire Wolf is a software "soundcard" AX.25 packet modem/TNC and APRS encoder/decoder. It can be used stand-alone to observe APRS traffic, as a tracker, digipeater, APRStt gateway, or Internet Gateway (IGate).

AGW protocol documentation #423

Closed scd31 closed 2 years ago

scd31 commented 2 years ago

I would like to write an application that uses AX.25. My understanding is that using AGW is the recommended way to do this rather than KISS. Am I correct in thinking this? Are there recommended documents I can look at to implement an AGW client?

wb2osz commented 2 years ago

KISS is adequate for APRS which uses only UI frames. If you want to access the connection oriented protocol implementation within direwolf, you need to use the AGW network interface. A sample library is here: https://github.com/wb2osz/direwolf/blob/dev/src/agwlib.c An example using it is here: https://github.com/wb2osz/direwolf/blob/dev/src/tnctest.c
