That sounds cool John!  Can you set it to simply output ascii?   Something 
I always wished heavymetal would do.  


I do baudot conversions in the loop driver, and there is no need to be  
restricted by a computer having an old-fashioned serial port, or to find a  
specific usb converter off a short list of ones that can do baudot.


I would love to run your feed into my first BTTY board, which is an  
upgrade to the Batcave Teletype I put in service three years ago.  The  upgrade is 
going in this week!  The batcave season opens for a new family  this 
Sunday. 


They are mostly happy pressing the pushbutton to cycle through available  
files on the SD card (displayed on a VFD display), and then a press-and-hold  
to print it.  Pretty simple, but sending a news feed from a computer  would 
be nice as well.


I just need the feed in ascii at 19200 (can easily change the rate), and  
set the computer port to enable xon/xoff to throttle the data (there is a 
btty  buffer of 1000 bytes, but beyond that xon/xoff lets the computer buffer  
anything bigger with just a click or two).


thx, gil

Subject:  [GreenKeys] New release of "baudotrss" for Windows machines -
print news  RSS feeds on your Teletype

Here's  a new release of "baudotrss", my program for printing
RSS feeds,  including news, on Baudot Teletype machines.

This version is much  easier to run on Windows than the
old version. It's one EXE file, with no  need to install
Python first. (It's really the same program, just  packaged
up as one file.) This is the program we use at  steampunk
conventions.

Program:

https://github.com/John-Nagle/baudotrss/releases/download/3.1.1/baudotrss.ex
e

This  is normally run from a command line, and you have to give
it a config  file to tell it about the serial port and speed.
See the  instructions.

Instructions:

https://github.com/John-Nagle/baudotrss/blob/master/README.md

It  should work on Windows 7 and later. It may work on Windows XP,
but it  hasn't been tested there.

The default configuration prints news from  the Reuters RSS feed.

Pre-release version. Please test and report  bugs. Thanks.

John  Nagle
