sjg bf9617e24d [docs](trx-rs): migrate wiki links from GitHub to Gitea
Point README wiki/repo URLs at git.haxx.space/sjg/trx-rs (the new
primary upstream); same /wiki/<Page> path scheme as before.

# trx-rs
A modular amateur radio control stack written in Rust.
[![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-GPL--2.0--or--later-blue.svg)](LICENSES)
</div>
`trx-rs` splits radio hardware access from user-facing interfaces so you can run
rig control, SDR DSP, decoding, audio streaming, and web access as separate,
composable pieces.
| | |
|---|---|
| **Backends** | Yaesu FT-817, Yaesu FT-450D, SoapySDR |
| **Frontends** | Web UI, rigctl-compatible TCP, JSON-over-TCP |
| **Decoders** | AIS, APRS, CW, FT8, RDS, VDES, WSPR |
| **Audio** | Opus streaming between server, client, and browser |
## Quick Start
### 1. Install dependencies
<details>
<summary><b>Debian / Ubuntu</b></summary>
```bash
sudo apt install build-essential pkg-config cmake libopus-dev libasound2-dev
# Optional — SDR support
sudo apt install libsoapysdr-dev
```
</details>
<details>
<summary><b>Fedora</b></summary>
```bash
sudo dnf install gcc pkg-config cmake opus-devel alsa-lib-devel
# Optional — SDR support
sudo dnf install SoapySDR-devel
```
</details>
<details>
<summary><b>Arch Linux</b></summary>
```bash
sudo pacman -S base-devel pkgconf cmake opus alsa-lib
# Optional — SDR support
sudo pacman -S soapysdr
```
</details>
<details>
<summary><b>macOS (Homebrew)</b></summary>
```bash
brew install cmake opus
# Optional — SDR support
brew install soapysdr
```
</details>
See [Build Requirements](https://git.haxx.space/sjg/trx-rs/wiki/User-Manual#build-requirements)
in the wiki for details on each library.
> **Note:** `cmake` is required even when a system Opus library is installed.
> The `audiopus_sys` crate probes for Opus via `pkg-config`; if it is not found
> (or `pkg-config` is unavailable), it falls back to compiling a vendored copy
> of Opus with CMake. A missing `cmake` therefore fails the build with
> `is cmake not installed?` rather than a missing-Opus error.
### 2. Build
```bash
cargo build --release
```
Build without SDR support: `cargo build --release --no-default-features`
### 3. Configure
Run the interactive setup wizard to generate config files for your station:
```bash
./target/release/trx-configurator
```
The wizard walks you through rig selection, serial port detection, audio
settings, and frontend options, then writes `trx-server.toml` and
`trx-client.toml`.
Alternatively, generate example configs and edit them by hand:
```bash
./target/release/trx-server --print-config > trx-server.toml
./target/release/trx-client --print-config > trx-client.toml
```
### 4. Run
```bash
./target/release/trx-server --config trx-server.toml
./target/release/trx-client --config trx-client.toml
```
Open the configured HTTP frontend address in a browser (default `http://localhost:8080`).
## How It Works

SDR3["SDR #3"] & FT817["FT-817"] <-->|USB / serial| S2["trx-server B"]
S1 <-->|"JSON-TCP :4530"| C1["trx-client"]

S2 -->|"Opus-TCP per rig"| C1
C1 <-->|internal channels| F1["Web UI :8080"]
C1 <-->|internal channels| F2["rigctl :4532"]
```
Each `trx-server` owns one or more rigs and runs DSP, decoding, and audio capture locally.
A `trx-client` connects to any number of servers over TCP and exposes them through
a unified set of frontends.
