Hello, I'm making a small project for myself and I want to know how it would be possible to program a piece of code which could interface with an amateur radio model like the

ICOM IC-756PRO III

there are already many open source amateur radio programs available such as "ham radio deluxe" and I want to start programming my own (rig control, logging, rotator control for example)

I would like to program this with Java if possible, could I get some advice, perhaps some suggestions if possible? thank you

Suggestion: As a first step write a list about the features/functionalities you want to see in your program and start programming. When you encounter a difficult problem that can't be solved easily with google then you come here and we help in it. Write the program in whatever language you feel most suitable/comfortable for the job (based on your current knowledge), if some parts of the software need low level programming then you can still easily connect C/C++ with java via jni...

Hello, I've decided to do something different, What I want to do now is create an application to work with the Ham Radio Deluxe server, which can control the servers IP commands and therefore control the software but with my own interface, I wanted to eventually try and develop an android app to control the HRD software via the HRD IP server

the rig is connected to the PC via RS-232 connection, using the Icom CI-V Level Converter CT-17http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/6546[^]

I found this: http://forums.hrdsoftwarellc.com/showthread.php?9248-HRD-IP-Server-Command-List[^]

So right now I want to try and develop a small java application which could connect to the HRD IP server and possibly use these commands from the IP-server,would you think this would be possible?

You have to do (simple) serial communication. See, for instance, here[^] for software and hardware suggestions.

thanks

I should also mention that I want to make the software work on a server with an internet protocol

Do you wish to control the radio from a remote location via the internet?

I did want to do that, but right now I only want to control the radio from a server, while the computer connecting to the server is connected to the radio via serial (also I have no ethernet connection from the radio)
