[Moon-net] Custom WSJT/Linux

Hello Linux users
Now I drive antennas-motors directly by WSJT in GS232 protocol.
With a little modification in Fortran module "astro0.F90", I write
directly in file "azel.dat", moon tracking data in GS232 format, "Waaa
eee".
But other protocols are easily adaptable.

With a basic shell-script, I send this file periodically to serial port

#!/bin/sh
# script to send "azel.dat" to port /dev/ttyS0
cd /home/lucien/wsjt-5.9.7.r386
stty -F /dev/ttyS0 4800
while [ 1 ]
do
   cat azel.dat > /dev/ttyS0
sleep 15
done
# End


WSJT is started by this script :
#!/bin/sh
cd /home/lucien/wsjt-5.9.7.r386
python -O wsjt.py
killall tracking.sh

And when shutdown WSJT I kill tracking script.
These changes are well unofficial and unsupported by WSJT team.
Don't help Joe for this ! Hi

More explanations via direct.
Has anyone tried to use the current file AZEL.DAT to use a standard
WSJT?


WSJT / Linux is super.
