I am targeting .Net Standard so that the assembly may be used with .Net Core or the .Net framework.

I'm starting with the FT818, I then plan on adding my ID-4100a, and TH-D74A.

# Why?
2019-03-06 16:13:44 +01:00
Yes, there's Hamlib, and yes there's HamLibSharp.

I don't speak C++ and PInvoke is nasty.

That being said, there's also not a pure .Net (C#) CAT control lib out there that I know of.

# What needs done?
The project is in an early very phase.
1. Settle on how the radios and commands are defined.
JSON?
Or just use a .cs file (current)?
2. Need to support opening / using an arbitrary number of radios.
RigControl can do 2.
3. Fully support asynchronous operations.
There's some handy events exposed by .net for data received on the Serial Port.
