A pure-Python implementation of the KISS Protocol for communicating with serial TNC devices for use with Amateur Radio.

Installation

Usage Example

Read & print frames from a TNC connected to ‘/dev/ttyUSB0’ at 1200 baud:

import kiss

k = kiss.KISS('/dev/ttyUSB0', 1200)
k.start()  # inits the TNC, optionally passes KISS config flags.
k.read(callback=print)

make test

Inspiration

Inspiration for this project came from:

• HA5DI’s dixprs: A Python APRS project with KISS, digipeater, et al., support.
• GE0RG’s APRSDroid: A Java/Scala Android APRS App.
• KA2DDO’s YAAC: A Java APRS app.
• aprs.fi‘s Ham-APRS-FAP: A Perl APRS parser.
