Sharing of received APRS packages over a serial usb device.

[Supermagnum]

Please add the capability to share received information over the USB port while performing as a normal APRS transceiver.

If so, it should be possible to send the information to a Tablet computer running Linux and Navit.
It's typically /dev/ttyUSB0 or similar.

While I do understand what you want to achieve with this, I don't think it's right to place this functionality directly in LibAPRS.

LibAPRS is meant to be a bare-bones AFSK1200 modem, AX.25 layer, and APRS parsing. Adding the code to generate the correct KISS-framed serial data would not be a huge overhead as such, but it would still use valuable program space and RAM, which is in dire need, since LibAPRS is meant to be run even on small ATmega328p MCUs.

On the other hand, one could quite easily just load LibAPRS into a sketch, and create a small function to spit out the message data over serial. In the "style" of LibAPRS, this is the way to do it.

If one wants a complete solution that already sends the packages over serial and/or USB, just look at OpenModem or MicroAPRS :)
