The GPIO/PP functions have not yet been implemented in chan_simpleusb. Since the part<br>of the channel driver that deals with the HID interface of the USB device came from the<br>exact same origin, it wont be that difficult to port the changes made in chan_usbradio<br>into chan_simpleusb to support the GPIO/PP user I/O functions. <br><br>The reason I never took the time to do this was that, previous to about 4 days ago, absolutely<br>no one other them myself and a couple of other people which have configurations that I did personally<br>have even noticed its existence, although its been in the codebase for a number of years now,<br>and neither those people nor I have ever had any need for these functions.<br><br>I am glad that people are finally discovering chan_simpleusbradio. It opens possibilities that <br>would just never happen with chan_usbradio (and its associated system requirements).<br><br>Currently, I have several rather intense projects that I am in the middle of. I will, however,<br>make it a priority to do these changes to chan_simpleusb as soon as I can, since it's finally<br>necessary and appropriate.<br><br>JIM WB6NIL<br><br><br>> From: george@dyb.com<br>> To: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org<br>> Date: Fri, 18 Feb 2011 00:13:25 -0600<br>> Subject: [App_rpt-users] simpleusb<br>> <br>> Hey y'all, I confuse easily. I want to try running COS and PTT from parallel <br>> port, much cleaner than microsurgery on the USB fob, did one - wasn't too bad. <br>> But the radios I use all have COS and/or PL decode outs. And the USB squelch <br>> is still a bit "odd". But the parallel port interface would make it plug <br>> compatible (I think) with my currently deployed DRIL system nailed up from <br>> here in TX to my folks home in NJ(They're hams too). <br>> <br>> I see the documentation:<br>> <br>> http://ohnosec.org/drupal/node/177 <br>> <br>> "Manipulating GPIO (and Parallel Printer Port) signals within chan_usbradio <br>> and chan_simpleusb"<br>> <br>> But I'm not fully certain of how to implement this. I'm using version 0.273. <br>> <br>> Unsure of the meaning of this, exactly:<br>> "(from within the section of usbradio.conf that is for the desired device):"<br>> <br>> <br>> In a typical simpleusb.conf where exactly does it go, or better yet, can <br>> someone send a sample of a working config file? I have not been able to locate a <br>> sample that explains this. I know I need to change "rxchannel=Radio/usb2360" <br>> (or 2428 for my remote) in rpt.conf. <br>> <br>> I have an example of simpleusb.conf. I see under [general] there is [usb].<br>> <br>> would that [usb] change to [usb2360]? <br>> <br>> Then the stuff like:<br>> <br>> pp2 = out1 ; out0, out1 or ptt<br>> pp10 = in ; in, cor or ctcss<br>> <br>> goes under the [usb2360]???<br>> <br>> Last dumb question, does the simpleusb work with the Limey Linux distro, that <br>> is an outstanding way to make a system with (almost) no moving parts. I use <br>> D945GLLY boards. <br>> <br>> HALP! I wanted to fiddle with this over the long weekend. I plan on replacing <br>> the DRIL link to NJ with a pair of app_rpt systems. The far end in NJ will <br>> probably be an "unlisted" node, maybe not...<br>> <br>> I am totally impressed with what has been done with asterisk here, and have <br>> possible made another convert here in Austin and maybe another in the Toronto <br>> area. I'd love to get it to run on my Sheeva Plug computer, but haven't yet <br>> fiddled with compiling a kernel and initrd on that one yet.<br>> <br>> Enough for now, goodnight to all.<br>> <br>> George Csahanin<br>> W2DB<br>> Cedar Park, TX 2360<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> App_rpt-users mailing list<br>> App_rpt-users@ohnosec.org<br>> http://ohnosec.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users<br> </body>
