# Hamnet70 Implementation

This directory contains an implementation of the Hamnet70 protocol.

Before you can compile and use this code, some additional steps are necessary:

1. Copy `src/config.h.template` to `src/config.h` and set the following variables:
   - `MY_CALL`: the station call sign (i.e. your amateur radio call sign).
     This will be encoded into the address fields of outgoing packets.
2. Install dependencies:
   - _libliquid_ compiled with _libfec_ support
   - _libfec_
   - _fftw3_
   - _libhackrf_

After everything is prepared, compile the code using `./make.sh`.
Parameters to this script are forwarded to `make` so you can speed things up a little with `./make.sh -j4` (on a CPU with 4 threads).

When compiled, you have two options for running Hamnet70:

1. In digipeater (base station) mode: `build/hamnet70 -c`. This will broadcast beacons and wait for clients to connect.
2. In client mode: `build/hamnet70`. This will wait for a beacon to arrive and connect to it.
