Just moved Allmon over to a new server and also pulled the latest greatest version from github. Everything working great /except/ no link for bubble chart and node number does not link to stat page. Going cross eyed here trying to see what I may have missed. Gurus? Ed W8VT

EchoLink
by lengriff＠optimum.net 10 Jan '19

10 Jan '19

I finally have EchoLink working on my repeater. I kept following the instructions on wiki.allstarlink.org, but it would NOT work. Unfortunately, the instructions do not begin with an important step: You must enable EchoLink in Modules.conf. This may be obvious to seasoned users, but NOT to us users still on the learning curve. There still needs to be better step-by-step instructions for the whole AllStar setup process. I'm no expert, but I sure have learned a lot!

ALSA sound device and GPIO TX on OrangePI.
by Carl Makin 08 Jan '19

08 Jan '19

Hi Everyone, I’ve just started looking at Allstar, or more specifically Asterisk and app_rpt as a possible way to link several repeaters in our area together. Our hardware guy wants to use the OrangePi Zero as each repeater node and I’ve got Asterisk installed via the Allstarlink repo as per the FAQ on the wiki and Asterisk is running (on Armbian Stretch). The hardware guy also wants to use the onboard sound device on the OrangePI and GPIO pins to do tx/rx switching. Reading through the somewhat confusing documentation leads me to think this might not be possible. Is that the case? Does anyone have anything like this running? Thanks, Carl. (vk1kcm)

After downloading?
by Jim Hertel 07 Jan '19

07 Jan '19

Ok all you guru's, I downloaded the current ASL.img program, installed it and ran it, populated the first time user setup routine. I hope I got it right. I currently can't connect to a station or node like Larry KR6AZ node 46822. Are there any Elmer's out there that can help in Laymans terms too? some of this stuff is way over my head at times. I bet I have to open a Port up, which ones? Also, info I have the Pi3 as the computer. Also running a RIM-RC210/RLC to the RC210 repeater controller. If you can please try my node 47379 to see if it works from your end. Is there a decent manual for the ASL version of Allstar? I may have missed it, so tell me where. I did download the HAMVIOP version manual but that was confusing and didn't jive with ASL's to much so i didn't venture there too much. I also didn't find a Apache http//: program in there while Putty'ing around, is there one? By the way I also have IRLP 7966 that works great on a pi...and the echolink too.. By the way thanks in advance.

Voice control options
by William Franzin 07 Jan '19

07 Jan '19

Good morning, We're also keen AllStarLink/app_rpt users/experimenters here in Winnipeg and Dan mentioned a discussion about the work I did on here, so thought I'd fill in the blanks. Also joined this list. I started with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa and really just wanted to control devices using voice, the "what's the weather" was just an added bonus, but all that requires internet. I also liked the speed of running the assistant code in real-time, as you speak that's actually a stream to Google/Amazon so the results you get are immediate vs rec/upload/download/play. For the majority of ham radio actual "needs" in voice control the Picovoice Rhino project speech-to-intent would do a great job. If you haven't check it out: https://github.com/Picovoice Also watch their video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WadKhfLyqTQ which I think is exactly what we'd want from a ham radio setup. Wakework "Hey Repeater" "Turn on ..". All of that great capability runs entirely on the device/server/reflector, no internet or web service call to Google/Amazon is needed. And it produces this simple output too: { "type": "espresso", "size": "small", "numberOfShots": "2", "sugar": "a lot", "milk": "some" } We should do this, my 2010 Ford Escape has had Microsoft Sync voice control and it's nothing new. Everything has voice control these days, and it actually works really well now. The only challenge in ham is we need to come up with some standard commands so if you're visiting here you know the repeater has this capability and how to work it. If anything I'm just glad the videos I posted a while back got this topic going again. Certainly not the first person to poke around with voice - it's just really easy now to implement this. Thanks to all the folks working on AllStarLink/app_rpt too. I just built a firmware image with AllStarLink for a Sierra Radio Systems CommServer board and it was apt-get-easy --let-me-drink-my-coffee-while-the-hard-work-gets-done ;) Thanks, William VE4VR

Services on the New Portal Site
by Tim Sawyer 06 Jan '19

06 Jan '19

I've pointed the Register link on allstarlink.org to the new portal, web-tpa.allstarlink.org (our future portal site). That us brings to four allstarlink.org services that point to web-tpa.allstarlink.org: - New user registration - Password reset - Callsign change - Nodes List At this point web-tpa.allstarlink.org has every service it needs to replace allstarlink.org. The above are just the services that have redirected links. Additionally I'll repoint the entire portal menu soon to have users pound on that before the migration. We don't have a date for the allstarlink.org migration yet, but it will be soon. Stay tuned. -- Tim WD6AWP

AI to control an ASL system principe and question on ASL
by Pierre Martel 06 Jan '19

06 Jan '19

Hi to every one. After watching how VE4VR controled an IRLP node I started to wonder how could this be done on ASL. I dont want to steal the fame to this brilliant gentleman.. I am just damn curious how he did it and if it is done on ASL, preventing unwanted stuff to happen.. As they said there is more then a one way to skin a cat. here is my version.. I attached an image on how this could be done. But I also have some question... [image: AI setup.png] As you can see I think that using the Chan_USRP driver to the Analog Bridge from the DVSwitch project there is a way to talk back an forth to the AI (PIcovoice project) This would be a local node (1999) to the server and another node (28XXX) connected to the server by USBRadio or Simple USB or Chan_Voter would be the radio interface to the airwaves. Now all this is nice and no one on the network links will say the wake work for the local repeater and all is well. NOT. It will happen that remote user will use the wake word and the AI will be all over the place. NOT GOOD. So beside using maybe another ctcss tone to enable the AI listening audio stream, wich could be a good idea as only people in the know would be able to trig the AI, is there another way differentiate the audio stream from a local one to a network one.. I imagine that we could use a small script to turn on or of muting on the audio stream to the AI? Dont start trowing flames!! It is just for discussion and having fun waiting for the code to be released by William.. ( well I hope he will do it ;-) ) It is a damn fun time to be in ham radio! Pierre VE2PF
