I just released "baudotrss", version 2.7. See
https://sourceforge.net/projects/baudotrss/
This is a Python program for driving Baudot teletypes. It will
display RSS feeds (Reuters, AP, even Facebook and Twitter),
send and receive SMS messages from a Google Voice account, and
prints weather reports. Tested with model 14 and 15 machines.
Most useful for machines with a keyboard, but can be used for
RO machines.
Changes in 2.7:
- Now works with both Python 2.6 and Python 2.7. The previous
release broke Python 2.6 compatibility.
- The ZIP file now contains the "configdefault.cfg" file which
presets most of the parameters needed.
- For RO machines, if you wire a button on the input side to
generate a BREAK, sending a BREAK will reprint all news from
the beginning of the feed. So, in museum configurations, you
can provide a "push to start" button. Otherwise, it prints
all available news when the program starts, then waits for the
RSS feeds to provide new info.
