Good afternoon all,
As some of you may have noticed on the air I have been working on
a python ARQ implementation this weekend. At this stage it supports
very basic sending and receiving of packets and there is a script
for sending pings and APRS messages. It uses the fldigi XMLRPC
interface and requires the CRC module from
http://crcmod.sourceforge.net/
The code is available for testing from
http://irl.styx.org/~va3udp/arq/
It can be run without installing from the distribution directory
by setting PYTHONPATH=`pwd` and then running ./scripts/unproto
Of course it can be installed as well in the normal way by
running "python setup.py install"
The next step is to implement the connected modes but I have
noticed a departure from the ARQ2 spec in the current PSKMail
implementation. Namely the dropping of the stream id which is
mentioned in a comment in arq.pm but then not actually implemented.
So, for example, a connection request which should read something
like,
00cSRC:1024 DST:25 1 6
actually reads
00cSRC:1024 DST:25 6
I'm not sure what to do about this since even though a stream
ID could be hardcoded in PSKMail, it would be incompatible with
all existing deployments...
