This pair of programs is under development and no working version is released yet.
Current versions:
Server - 0.018
Client - 0.022
Protocol - 0.06
Config - 0.10
The server program connects distant HAM radios together trough the Internet, thus giving them more range / coverage. The computer needs to be connected to real HAM radio hardware. Instructions are coming later...
The client program is for using your PC as it would be a HAM radio. No real radio needed - just connect to some server on the Internet and start talking with people, some of them having a PC client program, some of them having a real radio.
Both are to be compatible with eQSO, FRN and Echolink. Pyham also introduces its own protocol.
There are three different user interfaces: Graphical wxWidgets GUI, Curses TUI and a single line command terminal.
You can also control the server and client programs with external programs using sockets. A web page interface is coming also...
This program requires Python 3.x to be installed. Mandatory.
GUI is made with wxFormBuilder and is saved in files client_gui.fbp and server_gui.fbp. Not mandatory but recommended if you're changing the program.
Python modules:
PyAudio is required for sound. Mandatory.
wxPython is required for graphical interface. Not mandatory if using command line interface.
ncurses is required for interactive text terminal interface. Not mandatory if using graphical or single line command interface.
pip install pyaudio
pip install wx
pip install curses
Or use some other tool to install Python modules/libraries/packages.
Start with graphical user interface:
python pyham_client.py
Start with command line user interface:
python pyham_client.py --nogui
Get help on command line parameters:
python pyham_client.py --help
Start with graphical user interface:
python pyham_server.py
Start with command line user interface:
python pyham_server.py --nogui
Get help on command line parameters:
python pyham_server.py --help
Configuration can be changed and saved at runtime. It is saved in files pyham_client.conf and pyham_server.conf.
You'll find commented configuration file templates in files pyham_client.conf.template and pyham_server.conf.template.
