Follow-up... I knew there were some strange doc errors and no good docs when I loaded my first ACID system Now that I have converted my first 'radio' system to deb9 I re-live that a bit. But for those of you thinking of or that have failed to use the parallel port for cor and ptt, it may be from older docs still floating around the web that I know are wrong for the last 8 years or more. So, here is the skinny... 1st you must set a definition for the port address in rpt.conf iobase=0x378 ; Parallel port address (using for cor/ptt & switches +dh-rbi - 378,278,3bc common Lpt 1,2,3 Then, in either radiousb or simpleusb you need to define the pins you need for the service. [usb_29285] pp6=ptt pp11=cor So that's the skinny. Simple right ! There are 4 input pins (9-12) and 8 output pins assignable and can also be used for hard ctcss signaling or switching on/off devices at your site with the help of a transistor/diode and relay. Now my issue not getting this to work in the conversion had nothing to do with that. But a reminder that I had to tear the source apart to figure this out back in the day. My issue was a type error in the conversion that everyone yet to come from a original old ACID should take notice of. When I used my original file for this, but not rpt.conf , since I want to rewrite it and clean it up. (it's massive) The standard practice had changed relating to a "_" underscore [usb_29285] / [usb29285] and was a hard one to notice. So you might make sure yours matches your rpt.conf file rxchannel = SimpleUSB/usb_29285 / rxchannel = SimpleUSB/usb29285 So, my fresh default rpt.conf had the underscore and my x-ferd file of simpleusb did not. Perhaps that will help some from loosing a few hairs ! But I think most have switched long before me. (why didn't someone tell me....LOL) 73, ...mike/kb8jnm On 5/31/2018 1:55 PM, Mike wrote:
Can someone send me a copy of their modules.conf and SimpleUSB.conf/RadioUSB (off list) that is using only SimpleUSB or RadioUSB AND a Parallel port for i/o
I guessing I'm missing something for the pport in modules.conf.
As I try to transition/convert to a deb9 and new ASL from ACID, and to get back into the practice with scripting,
I'm having issues with a 'headed system' using parallel port. My old config's don't work at all.
So I'm missing something. Perhaps something new ?
