Created page with "=ADSB-Scope using TCP Data Stream= Therefore, you need below virtual COM port, and then you simply use one side of the com0com link pair for TCP, the other one for ADSB-Scope..."

New page

=ADSB-Scope using TCP Data Stream=

Therefore, you need below virtual COM port, and then you simply use one side of the com0com link pair for TCP, the other one for ADSB-Scope.

==Setting up a virtual COM port in Windows==
The Radarcape, as mentioned above, outputs data on TCP data streams. If applications do not offer a TCP connection to the device, this TCP data stream must be converted to a virtual COM port.
We suggest the free [http://com0com.sourceforge.net/ COM0COM] toolset for this.

===COM0COM Installation===

Shown here for Windows XP (german version) - maybe someone can make Youtube videos for this process?
If below description is not what you are looking for, have a parallel visit to [http://com0com.sourceforge.net/doc/UsingCom0com.pdf]

* Download the COM0COM package from [http://sourceforge.net/projects/com0com]
* Unzip the archive
* Within setup, uncheck the CNCA0↔CNCB0 pair, since this is not needed

[[File:Com0com1.png|com0com Setup Dialog 1]]

* When beeing asked that this is a non-signed driver, accept
* When beeing asked if the system should look on the internet for updates, say “no”, otherwise let it search for the correct driver on the local harddisk.
* When ready, the installation will finish with this message:

[[File:Com0com2.png|com0com Setup Dialog 2]]

* You don't need to “launch setup”, in device manager the two ports beeing created will appear this way (COM9 and COM10):

[[File:Com0com3.png|com0com Device Manager]]

'''More explanation:''' Now there is a virtual link. If you have two applications that each has a serial port for data input or output, they can be linked togeher, one using COM9, the other one using COM10.
In the COM0COM setup it looks like this:

[[File:Com0com4.png|com0com Setup Dialog]]

* One of the two COM ports is used for the application that needs the serial data, recommended here is '''COM9'''
* The other COM port needs a connection to the TCP data stream from the Radarcape. Therefore, download the [http://sourceforge.net/projects/com0com/files/ com2tcp-1.3.0.0-386.zip] package.
* Unzip the archive and copy com2tcp.exe best to the same folder as com0com, most probable C:\Program Files\com0com
* For Mode-S/AC data streams, open a windows command line and enter this line (modify port for the selected quality of service).<br />The command window is just good to see the error messages if such appear, later you can use any command line tool, like I do with the command line of [http://www.ghisler.com/index.htm Total Commander]

<source lang="text">"c:\Program Files\com0com\com2tcp" --baud 3000000 \\.\com10 beaglebone-3 10002</source>

If in parallel you want to read in the TCP stream from the GPS port:

* Install a 2nd COM pair with com0com setup
* Install Trimble Studio
* One of the new COM ports then is used for Trimble Studio, the other one for a new TCP connection
* The command for com2tcp is

<source lang="text">"c:\Program Files\com0com\com2tcp" --baud 9600 --parity o \\.\<COM_PORT> beaglebone-3 10685</source>
