Subject: [aprssig] IPP_2 and IPP2 Station (actually an object)
Can someone help me figure out who is creating the object IPP_2 (they also
create IPP2, but it expired).
http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/near.cgi?call=IPP_2
It looks like a station with a call of IZ6JSB created them, but I don't
know who that is and how to contact them. He/She runs a Xastr server in
Spain and I'm guessing that IPP_2 has a wrong lat/lon for what they are
intending.
Thanks for any help in this,
Mark

Yes, they were created by IZ6JSB.

It looks like IZ6JSB has a problem with the lat / long too, unless his house
is out on the Atlantic with a TCPIP connection. Did you try sending an APRS
message to see if you could catch his attention?

Subject: [aprssig] RS-232 to GPIO/TTL
I've decided to try to build my own TNC and embed a Garmin GPS15M into it!
Does anyone know of a source for an existing board (cheap and small) that
will convert RS-232 (from the Garmin) to GPIO/TTL (on the MLB)? If I can
get them connected, then I'll need to learn how to create a software based
UART schema...but hey, us college kids have all the time in the world,
right? :)
Thanks,
MJ

What's an MLB?
The specs on the 15H says it's compatible with TTL voltages, but has rs232
levels. This basically means you need a TTL inverter (both directions, if
you hook up TX to the GPS).
If the device was true RS232, you'd want to use a MAX232 (or similar) RS232
transceiver.
You can also look at GPS engines (Sparkfun.com has several) that have TTL
interfaces, so no TTl/RS232 conversion is required.

There are examples out there. Or, you can just get another hardware UART
if your microcontroller only has one. I've got some SPI- interfaced UARTs
that I haven't had a chance to hook up yet, but they look good on paper.
The arduino (http://arduino.cc/, Atmel based) has a hardware UART and a
library for software UARTs. Seems just a bit tight on RAM for some
applications (2k), but I really like the platform. Oh, and it's cheap (you
mentioned you're a student. :)

Guess I'm still confused. Pins 2,3 and return of 2 db9's tied together in
parallel??? I would like to be able to run both GPS data and Win-aprs
maybe with a switch between the radio or this Y? I'm using a D7 & D700.
Thanks for your help.

Subject: Re: [aprssig] HamHUD RevE Kit Accesories
It was brought to my attention that my announcment email was just too vauge
for most to figure out what I was talking about.
For those wanting to know just exactly what a HamHUD is, please visit the
official HamHUD website at www.hamhud.net Here you can read all about the
device, see pictures of past HamHUDs and the new ones and read all of the
documents including the users manual and assembly manuals. You may also
join us at the Yahoo HamHUD SIG http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hamhud
The HamHUD is a "heads up" display that utilizes a 4x20 LCD for displaying
APRS information in a easily read format. This included beacon data from
any APRS station using human readable and MIC-E packet formats. It can also
display weather data from any APRS weather station. You can send and
receive messages through the HamHUD. The HamHUD was the FIRST device to
have SmartBeaconing, the well loved and widely adopted speed-determining
beaconing algorithm. The HamHUD is an all-around great alternative to a
full laptop in a mobile environment or an alternative to the Kenwood D700.
Although, the D700 can now be used as the radio/TNC for the HamHUD. So you
D700 owners can play also.
Last year we did a massive kitting of the latest revision the RevE HamHUD
II. This version employed a standardized DB15 interfacing port to handle:
Power, TNC and GPS connections. The breakout board that I have created is
a simple way to interface these items with off-the-shelf cables, as well as
minimize clutter. Simply, a straight through DB15 male to DB15 female
cable is put in between the HamHUD II and the breakout board. This allows
all of the cabling clutter to be re-located to an area that can be
concealed, such as under a seat or behind the dash board in a car.
If you are interested in building a HamHUD, we are no longer offering kits
due to the drop in kit sales, but we do still have PCBs, PICs and FRAMs to
sell and help you get started Hudding. Please contact me offlist at jason
_at_ rpc-electronics.com (take out the spaces) if you have any questions or
would like to purchase any of these parts.
Thanks for the bandwidth guys!

I don't have a HamHUD but I'm interested in these little devices for
other projects.

The whole idea was to make the SMT part more usable for design and
breadboarding.
