hamlib - (C) Frank Singleton 2000 (vk3fcs@ix.netcom.com)
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this project is to provide stable, flexible,
|
|
shared libraries that enable quicker development of Amateur
|
|
Radio Equipment Control Applications.
|
|
|
|
Many Amateur Radio Transceivers come with serial interfaces
|
|
that allows software to control the radio. This project will
|
|
endeavour to provide shared libraries that greatly simplify
|
|
the application programmers interaction with radio equipment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The shared libs will provide functions for both radio control,
|
|
and data retrieval from the radio.
|
|
|
|
The structure of the libraries will be as follows.
|
|
|
|
(1) There will be 1 frontend library "libhamlib" that
|
|
provides the generic API for user applications.
|
|
|
|
(2) There will be "n" backend libraries that "wrap"
|
|
rig specific communications inside frontend API.
|
|
|
|
(3) Frontend lib will load (on demand) the appropriate
|
|
backend lib as required.
|
|
|
|
Frontend Library
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
libhamlib.so - frontend lib that provides generic API
|
|
for all RIG types. This is what Application
|
|
programmers will "see"
|
|
|
|
Backend Examples are:
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
1.libhamlib-ft747.so will provide connectivity to Yeasu
|
|
FT 747GX Transceiver via a standard API.
|
|
|
|
2. libhamlib-ft847.so will provide connectivity to Yaesu FT 847
|
|
"Earth Station" via a standard API.
|
|
|
|
3. libhamlib-xxxx.so will provide connectivity to the Wiz-bang
|
|
moon-melter 101A (yikes..)
|
|
|
|
Hamlib will also enable developers to develop
|
|
professional looking GUI's towards a standard control library
|
|
API, and they would not have to worry about the underlying
|
|
connection towards physical hardware.
|
|
|
|
Initially serial (RS232) connectivity will be handled, but
|
|
I expect that IP (and other) connectivity will follow afterwards.
|
