sjg 84a99a3636 [fix](trx-frontend-http): load the decoders that own the digital modes panels
AIS, VDES and both APRS decoders were listed under the map plugin group
alone, so opening Digital modes and clicking AIS or APRS gave an empty
panel reading "Connected, listening for packets" while the decodes piled
up unprocessed in the plugin runtime.  They appeared only if something
had opened the Map tab first, which flushed the queue.  There is also a
map-data group naming exactly those four that nothing loads: the loader
is called with tab names and no tab is called map-data.

They load with the tab whose panels they fill now.  map-core stays lazy,
since their calls into it are optional and the Map tab can go on paying
for Leaflet by itself.

tests/decode-flow.mjs follows a decode from the wire to the map: an AIS
vessel and an APRS beacon arrive on /decode, and it asserts both panels
fill with the map module confirmed absent, the mini view names the
vessel and offers a pin, following that pin lands on /map centred on the
vessel, and both decoders leave a marker.  Nothing exercised any of this
before — the fixture served an empty decode stream, which is how the map
links came to be broken for every decoder at once.

The fixture stamps decodes as it sends them, since the client prunes
anything outside the retention window, and repeats them, since the views
collapse by vessel and need more than one frame to behave.

trx-rs

A modular amateur radio control stack written in Rust.

License

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

Debian / Ubuntu
sudo apt install build-essential pkg-config cmake libopus-dev libasound2-dev
# Optional — SDR support
sudo apt install libsoapysdr-dev
Fedora
sudo dnf install gcc pkg-config cmake opus-devel alsa-lib-devel
# Optional — SDR support
sudo dnf install SoapySDR-devel
Arch Linux
sudo pacman -S base-devel pkgconf cmake opus alsa-lib
# Optional — SDR support
sudo pacman -S soapysdr
macOS (Homebrew)
brew install cmake opus
# Optional — SDR support
brew install soapysdr

See 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

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:

./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:

./target/release/trx-server --print-config > trx-server.toml
./target/release/trx-client --print-config > trx-client.toml

4. Run

./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).

    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.
