[App_rpt-users] BBB multiple simpleUSB nodes?

[Doug Crompton]

OK, so define a linking hub? Would you have any radios connected directly to it?

Hi Doug,
I'm building a linking hub and had hoped to to use app_rpt to do the linking between the various links as a cheaper alternative to a hardware controller.

Sean,

 I guess I don't understand what you are doing. It you have four repeaters wouldn't you want one BBB per repeater to control it? You need the same USB stuff to run on one PC as four BBB's - assuming you are connecting to four radios. Is this what you are doing?

Thanks Doug,
I might just go with a hardware controller then. 
We don't need the VoIP linking, I was looking for a less expensive alternative to a hardware controller. 
By the time I got 3 or 4 BBBs and the bits to build the usb interfaces I be at the cost of a hardware link controller so might as well go with one of those 
Thanks for the help.

Sean,

 I do not recommend more than one active radio node on the BBB. Use multiple BBB's and put one node on each. Link them together locally. I know a number of people doing this with great success. Each BBB would be a server defined at allstarlink.org and each would be on a unique port - 4566,7,8,9.

It is easy to do but if you need more help just ask.

Hi everyone,
Has anyone tried having multiple simpleusb nodes running on one BBB? I'm interested in running up to 4 for a linking controller.
ThanksSean VE6SAR
