With out a doubt, that is something that has been needing to be done for<br>quite a while, and has been my intent.<br><br>I have been MAJORLY busy with a lot of other stuff lately (like the VOIP <br>Voter/Simulcast stuff, etc).<br><br>In addition, the latest code for chan_usbradio now supports the URIx (the<br>new version of the URI that DMK is now shipping) which has 7 available<br>GPIO pins on it.<br><br>Things just have not been easy for me lately. Life has been rather overwhelming.<br>I really dont know what to say as far as realistically when this can happen, but<br>I will sure try to make it happen as soon as possible.<br><br>JIM WB6NIL<br><br><br>> Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2011 16:11:32 -0400<br>> Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] simpleusb<br>> From: steve@michiganbroadband.com<br>> To: telesistant@hotmail.com<br>> CC: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org<br>> <br>> --------------<br>> The GPIO/PP functions have not yet been implemented in chan_simpleusb.<br>> Since the part<br>> of the channel driver that deals with the HID interface of the USB device<br>> came from the<br>> exact same origin, it wont be that difficult to port the changes made in<br>> chan_usbradio<br>> into chan_simpleusb to support the GPIO/PP user I/O functions.<br>> ---------------<br>> Hi Kids!<br>> Very patiently waiting and wanted to take a moment to ask "pretty please"<br>> when you can sometime :-)<br>> <br>> Just to clarify for those who are unsure what I'm refering to above..<br>> What I am asking/requesting for is the ability to use/install simpleusb on<br>> an older slower box (or be lazy and not have to solder to the usb device).<br>> and still be able to route PTT and sense COR from a standard PC<br>> Parallel port instead of the GPIO on the usb sound device.<br>> :-)<br>> <br>> Steve<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> ><br>> > The GPIO/PP functions have not yet been implemented in chan_simpleusb.<br>> > Since the part<br>> > of the channel driver that deals with the HID interface of the USB device<br>> > came from the<br>> > exact same origin, it wont be that difficult to port the changes made in<br>> > 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<br>> > days ago, absolutely<br>> > no one other them myself and a couple of other people which have<br>> > configurations that I did personally<br>> > have even noticed its existence, although its been in the codebase for a<br>> > 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.
