Encode pocsag messages to dump to a file. This project is designed to make it easier to understand how pocsag works, with a heavily-commented implementation.

Takes input as a series of lines, one line per message.

Message format is as follows:

address:message

where address is an integer, and message is contents to be encoded.

Adds a random delay to the output feed of 1 to 10 seconds by default. This is configurable in pocsag.c near the bottom of the file by the MIN\_DELAY and MAX\_DELAY defines.

pocsag reads from stdin and writes signed 16 bit little-endian samples to stdout.

If you haven't copied pocsag to /bin:

echo -e "1:hello\n2:world" | ~/pocsag-encoder/pocsag

If you want to access pocsag on a global level:

cp ~/pocsag-encoder/pocsag /bin

Then run it as:

echo -e "1:hello\n2:world" | pocsag

pocsag doesn't rely on any dependencies but the C standard libraries. Use make to compile, or run your own C compiler manually.
