KISS-Mode communication via USB

[oe1kbc]

What is required is a KISS communication via USB interface with APRS compatible protocol

[DK9BT]

what is your idea behind that?

Making existing Software like APRSdroid compatible with MeshCom?

Or a generall Interface for third party software to access MeshCom?

I ask that cause KISS is basicly encapsulating AX25 Frames and that is what the allready existing Tools expect

Yes, that's right, an interface with which a lot of existing software can be used together with a LoRa node

Not only via USB but also via TCP will open a lot possible combinations with existing scenarios

Hello,
I Think, it’s not the good idea to use TCP because we have Small Devices which are not holding such Stacks Perfect. I have testet some other MESH System and made a decission to use USB only

Hello,

I recommend the usage of KISS over Bluetooth, as Ricardo Guzman Made!

• It's a really great benefit in my opinion, to have the possibility to use APrsdroid.

With this option it is not necessary to use trackers with GPS. A small simple Heltec V3 would be enough.

With best regards,

Hello Helmut, We intentionally want to use a very dynamically extensible protocol because some people develop their client software using this interface. 73 de Kurt OE1KBC Von: HelmutEsterer ***@***.***> Gesendet: Montag, 31.
