I love your engagement! We will take a look at it Please note that a full integration of Hamlib is tricky due to it's License. Hamlib is licensed unter the LGPL (see here: https://github.com/Hamlib/Hamlib/blob/master/LICENSE) This means: Using Hamlib as external Dependency with no static coding inside an MIT Project (Waveloggate) is possible without any issues Integrating Hamlib into Waveloggate with static coding would make Waveloggate to a LGPL licensed project. (which is not gonna happen). TLDR: External Dependency with link to the hamlib repo -> OK |

Thanks for the clarification. Just to explain how the current mod actually works, since it falls fully within what the LGPL allows: This mod does not include any Hamlib code in the repository, nor does it perform any static linking. Under the LGPL, this is explicitly permitted because: Hamlib remains a separate component, not incorporated into the MIT-licensed code. No Hamlib source or binary is distributed inside Wavelog-gate. Users are still able to replace the Hamlib binary with another version if they choose. Wavelog-gate itself does not become a derivative work of Hamlib; it only uses it dynamically. So the project stays 100% MIT-licensed, and the usage model matches exactly what you described as the “OK” case (external dependency without code copy or static integration). Just wanted to clarify this so we’re all aligned. 73 de CS8ABG |

Great :) Sounds like you sorted that out beforehand :) Awesome! This is (unfortunately) not the standard and ppl tend to publish all kind of adventurous things haha Thanks for being part of the community :) |

Nice Proof-Of-Concept (even if it is Windows-Only, and WLGate has to be multiplatform). Hobby is electronics/hamradio. So installing and configuring hamlib shouldn't be that hard. However: Great idea to build something which takes care of all. |

@CS8ABG It looks interesting! What about the linux version? |

since the original maintainer doesn't react on my PR for his nice tool (i extended it with Websocket-Support), have a look here for the different flavours (linux as well): https://github.com/int2001/WaveLogGoat/releases |

Plus: I you want UI, the original WaveLogGate from the wavelog-team supports hamlib / rigctld also: https://github.com/wavelog/WaveLogGate/releases/tag/v1.1.12 |

@R1BLH this one works fine on Windows and it was tested also on debian based distros: https://github.com/CS8ABG/WaveLogHamlibGate |

I have proved Bruno's apps too. Works as expected for me! It is not something new, but good to have. Thanks! Question and wish: I see that Hamlib can connect rotator... there is an Antenna Path field... ...but no azimuth (except SAT QSO which is realtime(!!)) . Maybe one day there will be a button for antenna rotation (through API and hamlib? :-) |

Hi,
I have made WaveLog-gate fully functional with Hamlib. It can now download the latest version, display the installed version in the status bar, and run the rigctld.exe daemon in the background. Integration with WSJT-X has been verified, and all features were tested on Windows. Please have a look in the attached file.
