Re: [44net] Making Packet Node with Pi ?

Ronen, There are a lot of packet nodes running on a Pi. There is a version of the TNC-X that plugs directly onto the GPIO header (Google TNC-PI), over 2000 of which have been sold. Or you can use a conventional TNC with a USB-Serial converter. The Direwolf soundcard TNC also works well on the PI. The Linux version of my BPQ32 networking software (LinBPQ) was inspired by the PI, and includes an AMPRNet Tunnel and RIP44 process that simplifies running IP over ax.25. 73, John G8BPQ -----Original Message----- From: 44Net [mailto:44net-bounces+john.wiseman=cantab.net@hamradio.ucsd.edu] On Behalf Of R P Sent: 02 March 2016 06:25 To: AMPRNet working group Subject: [44net] Making Packet Node with Pi ? (Please trim inclusions from previous messages) _______________________________________________ Hi there Is there a way to have a Packet Node with Pi (or any other small size solution that will not require a PC) ? If yes How do I connect TNC (serial port) to PI is the Pi support USB to serial external interface (like the profilic ones) ? Or (preferred) something can be done to do the TNC on Sound card (can be an External sound card that connect to the USB of the PI) Please Advice Thanks Forward Ronen - 4Z4ZQ jttp://www.ronen.org
