Not yet. I'd be wary of throwing them in between KISS frames - too much potential for interference there. What software currently supports the Control-E...
New firmware's up. This version has improved buffer handling, and might fix the intermittent RX lockup problem. It also has some extra diagnostics to try to...
... Actually you might be able to do something tricky like enclose the GPS strings in a KISS packet but give it a different port ID (like MKISS), but then put...
I need to get another revision ready to go. I haven't identified any major problems with Proto C, but I'm considering adding a piezoelectric motion sensor....
... It could also be used as a man-down alert for portables, or maybe even attach a line to it and have it get yanked if someone/something breaks the fishline,...
OK, I'm feeling pretty dumb here, but then I joined the beta team late. Where do I download the firmware files from? -Scott ... might fix ... diagnostics to ...
Easiest way is to just run the config program and click on the 'web' button to see the latest firmware. Double-click on the firmware image you want to load. ...
Alternatively, via a web browser & then save to a file (Hopefully the browser won't wrap the url below..) <http://www.n1vg.net/opentracker/firmware/ot2.s19> ...
I just checked CVS, it looks like its all OT2 code (unless its a combined codebase). I know your primary focus is OT2 right now, but I would like to make a few...
Ok I feel stupid, it is a combined codebase. Sorry Scott :) I did get a lot of "Old version" and "Converting" messages from Freescale. Hopefully it'll all...
Some of the changes didn't commit properly, and the code I'm working on now needs some bugs fixed before I commit it. The 'converting' stuff should only apply...
The KISS thing should be doable. I've just got to figure out how I'm going to handle it, given that the whole NMEA string is never buffered in memory. Also,...
My vote would be to format the packets to appear within a kiss frame with another kiss identifier... like having a dual port TNC.... just use port 15. That...
After reading the responses... I don't see how the tracker 2 would keep up with seeing a cntrl-e on the serial port... what if controlE came in the middle of...
You could do the tripwire thing now using the configuration jumper. My balloon cutdown prototype uses fishing line to pull a jumper and it works fine, only...
Rather than assigning it another port number, I think it'd make more sense to use a different command number. Only type 0 frames should be interpreted as data...
... FRAM? Simulate NMEA from the data you do have? -- Curt, WE7U. APRS Client Comparisons: http://www.eskimo.com/~archer "Lotto: A tax on people who are...
I'd probably go with simulating, since the data might be from Garmin mode. _____ From: tracker2@yahoogroups.com [mailto:tracker2@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of...
... stream data from the GPS directly out the port (bypassing the microcontroller), and use a mux to interrupt it to inject the KISS/ APRS data? yeah, more...
One can only hope! Of course, you'd think that APRS applications would ignore non-text PIDs too, but oh well. Oh, another argument for the synthesized NMEA...
Just a quick update on the RX lockup situation... there's a glitch in the buffer logic that's sometimes causing it to think the buffer is full when it's not,...
Scott, would it be possible to add 9600 baud packets to the Tracker 2? Even if I had to add an external modem, having the ability to do 9600 baud APRS would...
I am trying to get Xastir to work with Tracker2 in KISS mode. If I set up a Serial Kiss TNC, it doesn't look like the Tracker2 goes to Kiss mode. If I force...
Scott, I am having RX lockups, but only in the KISS mode. I am in the KISS mode and am also digipeating. How would you like me to get this information? If I...
I wrote a PERL script to get out of KISS mode. Sending C0 FF C0 works well. I now have to figure out what XASTIR is doing. If I have a lockup in KISS, what...
I think I'm going to do a small run of another board revision to test out a few ideas, including the motion sensor. I'm also looking at adding another switch...
