Radios

Currently tested with YAESU (991A) and Elecraft (KX2) Radios using CAT over RS232

Connect a levelshifter (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11189) to Serial2 pins of the ESP32 -> G16(RX), G17(TX) to interface with CAT/RS232 port of your radio.
Set the radio serial speed for CAT to 9600bps.

Usage

Create an API key in your Wavelog Account with read & write permission.
Compile and upload this project (PlattformIO) to an ESP32.
After the first boot, a SSID "WLBridge4TRX" is broadcasted. Connect to it and open the website http://192.168.4.1 to configure your WIFI credentials
Once the ESP32 is connected to your network/hotspot, open the configuration website http://WLBridge4TRX.local or using the IP reported in the serial console.
Add your API endpoint (full URL like https://mywavelog.url/api/radio, the API key (token) and a name for the radio to be shown in Wavelog.
If your installation is SSL enabled, add the Root CA Certificate from the issuer of your SSL certificate. The one for Let's encrypt is configured by default.

Example (Elecraft KX2)

Using a Sparkfun ESP32 Thing with a LiPo Battery for portable operation. The radio is connected using a MAX2323 levelshifter to connect to the radios RS232 Port (ACC in this case). Elecraft KX2 Example
