Working on BLE packet sniffing and transmission for MeshTNC, bc who doesn't want to do APRS or meshcore over BLE advertisements 😉
My quick hack feels promising so I think I'll clean this up and PR it.
I’ve been working on a Ham Radio propagation bot for Discord and I’m thinking of expanding it into a Bluesky + Mastodon bot too. It would auto-post updated radio conditions every ~30 minutes on a dedicated bot account after I finish the GOES X-Ray charts
First things first, I want to make it so that the ASCII CSV output format for BLE packets roughly matches LoRa packets.
Every packet gets an arrival timestamp, type, RSSI and SNR values. Followed by whatever payload.
In the case of BLE packets there's also a 6 byte MAC so I slap that infront of the payload.
There's no SNR data for BLE so that's always 0.0. But the RSSI is good.
Here I was thinking the KISS protocol support was going to be hard ✨
Actually this flew together, mostly bc @meph already did all the hard stuff on KISS handling.
So just check which output mode we're in and yeet the data at the BLE data KISS port.

My ARRL membership expired on the 31st of October. Rather than send me an almost free email, they chose to pay money to mail me a letter. no wonder they are constantly begging for money. #amateurradio #arrl

Ok #HiveMind, I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out #PipeWire.
Is there an idiots guide to "connect the audio output of program X to the input of program Y?"
I used to know how to do it with pacmd, but PipeWire is the shiny object du jour for the linux dev crows and so I have to learn a new thing. :eyeroll:
I just want to take the sound output of the #SDR program I'm using (SDR++) and pipe it into #wsjtx for decoding #WSPR signals (assuming I can get them 😁 )

Man, why is #SDR software so confusing to use? :?
Just tuning the thing requires a fusillade of mouse clicks.
I'm just going to keep trying different SDR programs in the Debian repos until I find one I can make sense of.
The idea is to pipe the output into WSJT-X and try to decode WSPR, for now.
I think I'm going to call it a night.

P.S., Ugh, I'm literally 530 feet / 162 m away from a high-tension power line.
That's going to make things interesting.
I guess I'll start with setting up my RTL-SDR and an RDP server on my RasPi, and see what I'm able to pick up.
I see that #VarAC implemented #AI slop on the HF bands. Just another reason to not use it along with it not being open source and #Windows only.

Open-minded, liberal-leaning 40-yo cis white male seeking friendship in the #FortWorth area. The internet makes it easy to find "friends" that comment and like my posts, but I'm wanting to have lunch and build a relationship with someone nearby. I have been deconstructing my faith over the last few years, so I would prefer to avoid highly religious people for my own mental health.
I'm kind of a basic white guy, but I have had friends of different faiths, color, identity, and nationality in the past. I would love to continue that trend.
