Thomas and everyone, I wrote a small C program to do basic things that might also be easy to use for someone without sight. It could be used with text-to-speech software. (The dollar sign below is the command line prompt.)
$ k2 -A VFO A: 14001.900 kHz $ k2 -B VFO B: 14003.470 kHz or $ k2 -a 14020 tune VFO A to 14.020 MHz $ k2 -s 2 14020 sets up a split for "up 2" $ k2 -c ab3ap sends the cw "AB3AP" $ k2 -t lo does a low power ATU tune I'm not sure, but seems to me a GUI would not be necessary or appealing for a blind operator? My software is a quick hack, but with some thought a better text interface might be created. Along those lines, http://hamlib.org has a rigctl command that might be an even more general solution to the problem. 73, Mike ab3ap On 04/18/10 09:58, Thomas Norff wrote: > Blind person often use a PC with a "reading software" (OT 'to read to > someone' - no single word for that ?) > combined with a braille display. > Creating an application using the available software - simple GUI, readable > by the reading software, assessable by function/cursor keys - and > abstracting the K3 to their ability could be a 'solution'. > > Anyone interested to start a conversation about that ? > > 73 de Thomas, DM7TN > > PS: Doesn't have to be limited to the K3 ... one GUI for many TRX ... just > dreaming ;o) ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
