Twitter Script

If len is not specified, is is taken to be from the start to the end of the string. As shown in the code, ${2:0:1} will return the first character of the string; therefore, if $2 == 43340, then ${2:0:1} will return 4 (the first character of the string). ${2:1} will return 3340 (everything after the first character). The case statement makes it very easy to have a number of choices where only one choice runs. Either that or string together a lot of if..elif..else..fi rubbish.

Off the wall curiosity
by Alan Adamson 22 Aug '12

22 Aug '12

Ok, so on my d-star to analog bridge, I've found a rather annoying issue that there has to be a way to solve (easily). The converted AMBE audio from the Dongle back to analog heading into Allstar is just *way* too HOT (over modulated, loud, etc). I need to somehow lower the level/volume etc. I don't think there is any parameter that would allow this. it's coming into allstar via the chan_dstar module. It's IP port to IP port between the dongle and the channel driver, so in theory, I could use software in the middle if I could find something like sox or the like that would run in real-time and take packets in one port and out another. I only need it to go on way however. the opposite direction isn't a problem. So just curious if anyone else has seen anything that might work? Thanks in advance, Alan

Why can't I connect??

Can anyone tell me why I can’t connect? As you can see, I do have access to the internet. I can ping 8.8.8.8 (Google). I can also ping google.com so DNS is also working. My node seems to just quit after a few days. The PC works fine and the repeater functions through the URI also work fine. I just cant connect to anyone.

D700A interface with a URI
by Alan Adamson 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

I wanted to play with a URI to do all the ctcss generation, and obviously audio generation. SO I selected 9600 baud on the radio, made the configuration changes so that I was putting audio into the modulator instead of the microphone. I set txboost on, the txaudio to composite, and txprelim on. Then I started testing using the radio adjustment tool. But I could never get the audio to go loud enough to make 3khz dev. What am I doing wrong? I'd prefer not having to use the 12v input and the 6db amp, I would think that I should be able to drive the tnc interface pin and the modulator input when in 9600 baud mode with pleanty from the URI, but I can't seem too. Anyone else hooked one up and made it work? Alan btw, txboost 0 or 1 made no difference
