Use without graphical user interface?

Pictor13 opened this issue 5 years ago · comments

Hi,

is there any chance to use fldigi without having a graphic system but just a soundcard?
What are the main components/commands that would be needed to run on a battery-efficient system (like a shell-only linux system)?

Asking for a friend (for real! 😅).

You would have to rewrite the entire user interface. The actual modem coder/decoder classes would still be usable. How would you expect to select a signal without a waterfall? David

Thank you for you answer, David.

Yes that was my concern as well.
I was thinking if it could be possible to split the modem/processing part and the GUI, so that the GUI is loaded in local , while the signal data is provided (e.g. via SSH/SSL) from the remote machine that is running fldigi.

The idea is similar to having a frontend on the local machine, to display the GUI for the data streamed from the remote machine (that has hardware and catches the signal).

But, still, is a theoretical idea that just popped in my mind; and generally I am pretty ignorant on the topic.
Am not sure of the feasibility (on fldigi), or if anything like that already exists packed in some other project.

Is it possible to control it only through XML-RPC calls? without graphical interface, having the radios tuned to the exact frequency for point-to-point messages (usual FLDIGI / RADIO configuration). Can anyone help with this? https://github.com/lulzlabs/AirChat & https://github.com/zonkeynet/ZonkeyNet
