trx-control is an extensible software system to control amateur radio transceivers and related hardware like GPIO-pins etc. and to integrate third-party software using application specific extensions.
New users should read the trx-control User Guide found at the URL https://trx-control.msys.ch/#_the_trx_control_user_guide where it is available in HTML, PDF, and, EPUB format.
Further information, project goals, a general overview, technical information, application notes, a FAQ etc. can be found on the trx-control website at https://trx-control.msys.ch.
trx-control mainly consists of trxd(8), a daemon to control the transceivers and other hardware, and, trxctl(1), a command line utility to access trxd(8), and, bluecat(1), a tool to help with the configuration of bluetooth connections.
trx-control comes with protocol drivers for common transceiver brands, configurations for a variety of transceiver models, a bunch of extensions, and, complete documentation online as well as in the form on manual pages.
Software that wants to make use of trxd(8) should implement the trx-control client/server protocol and talk to trxd(8) over the network, either over raw IP sockets or WebSockets.
(trxd(8) listens on port 14285 by default for incoming connections over raw sockets and can optionally listen for WebSocket connections. It supports both IPv4 and IPv6.)
See the trx-control Integration Guide at https://trx-control.msys.ch/#_the_trx_control_integration_guide for all information regarding the client/server protocol, the extensions etc.
Transceivers are controlled using protocol drivers written in the Lua programming language. Properties of a specific transceiver are defined in YAML format. New transceivers can be added by adding a protocol driver (if needed) and a transceiver defintion.
See the trx-control Developer Guide at https://trx-control.msys.ch/#_the_trx_control_developer_guide for all information needed to write protocol drivers and the documentation of all Lua modules included with trx-control.
See https://lua.org for more information on Lua.
