Working-ish
Closed this issue · 4 comments
I have a branch where connections are half-working. I need a place to stash this stack trace before I lose it.

It's close! 😄 @n8jja and @martinhpedersen FYI! Oh, and if you're using Pat's RMS list, it's currently showing center frequencies instead of dial frequencies, so dial down 1.5 kHz.

So when you say working-ish, does that mean you can send/receive with it? Or just contact and connect to the gateway?

At #6 I was able to make a connection and do one exchange session, but usually the disconnect would screw up the state and I'd have to restart Pat in order to try again. As of #10 I can repeatedly make outgoing connections. The remaining debate is around correctness compared to Winlink Express' interactions with VARA, and about listening for incoming connections instead of just making outgoing connections.
If you'd like to try it out, see https://github.com/xylo04/pat/tree/vara!
Heads up, this repo is now officially merged as a dependency of Pat! Pat v0.13.0 will feature official VARA support! la5nta/pat#361
