Jim, that is absolutely awesome.. I'm very patient and that is worth waiting for.. I'm totally with you on the *life* thing pretty much same story here.. Lot's of work and difficulties with a business partnership etc. Very happy that this is in the works. -Steve
With out a doubt, that is something that has been needing to be done for quite a while, and has been my intent.
I have been MAJORLY busy with a lot of other stuff lately (like the VOIP Voter/Simulcast stuff, etc).
In addition, the latest code for chan_usbradio now supports the URIx (the new version of the URI that DMK is now shipping) which has 7 available GPIO pins on it.
Things just have not been easy for me lately. Life has been rather overwhelming. I really dont know what to say as far as realistically when this can happen, but I will sure try to make it happen as soon as possible.

-------------- The GPIO/PP functions have not yet been implemented in chan_simpleusb. Since the part of the channel driver that deals with the HID interface of the USB device came from the exact same origin, it wont be that difficult to port the changes made in chan_usbradio into chan_simpleusb to support the GPIO/PP user I/O functions. --------------- Hi Kids! Very patiently waiting and wanted to take a moment to ask "pretty please" when you can sometime :-)
Just to clarify for those who are unsure what I'm refering to above.. What I am asking/requesting for is the ability to use/install simpleusb on an older slower box (or be lazy and not have to solder to the usb device). and still be able to route PTT and sense COR from a standard PC Parallel port instead of the GPIO on the usb sound device. :-)

The reason I never took the time to do this was that, previous to about 4 days ago, absolutely no one other them myself and a couple of other people which have configurations that I did personally have even noticed its existence, although its been in the codebase for a number of years now, and neither those people nor I have ever had any need for these functions.
I am glad that people are finally discovering chan_simpleusbradio. It opens possibilities that would just never happen with chan_usbradio (and its associated system requirements).
Currently, I have several rather intense projects that I am in the middle of. I will, however, make it a priority to do these changes to chan_simpleusb as soon as I can, since it's finally necessary and appropriate.

Hey y'all, I confuse easily. I want to try running COS and PTT from parallel port, much cleaner than microsurgery on the USB fob, did one - wasn't too bad. But the radios I use all have COS and/or PL decode outs. And the USB squelch is still a bit "odd". But the parallel port interface would make it plug compatible (I think) with my currently deployed DRIL system nailed up from here in TX to my folks home in NJ(They're hams too).
I see the documentation:
http://ohnosec.org/drupal/node/177
"Manipulating GPIO (and Parallel Printer Port) signals within chan_usbradio and chan_simpleusb"
But I'm not fully certain of how to implement this. I'm using version 0.273.
Unsure of the meaning of this, exactly: "(from within the section of usbradio.conf that is for the desired device):"
In a typical simpleusb.conf where exactly does it go, or better yet, can someone send a sample of a working config file? I have not been able to locate a sample that explains this. I know I need to change "rxchannel=Radio/usb2360" (or 2428 for my remote) in rpt.conf.
I have an example of simpleusb.conf. I see under [general] there is [usb].
would that [usb] change to [usb2360]?
Then the stuff like:
pp2 = out1 ; out0, out1 or ptt pp10 = in ; in, cor or ctcss
goes under the [usb2360]???
Last dumb question, does the simpleusb work with the Limey Linux distro, that is an outstanding way to make a system with (almost) no moving parts. I use D945GLLY boards.
HALP! I wanted to fiddle with this over the long weekend. I plan on replacing the DRIL link to NJ with a pair of app_rpt systems. The far end in NJ will probably be an "unlisted" node, maybe not...
I am totally impressed with what has been done with asterisk here, and have possible made another convert here in Austin and maybe another in the Toronto area. I'd love to get it to run on my Sheeva Plug computer, but haven't yet fiddled with compiling a kernel and initrd on that one yet.
Enough for now, goodnight to all.
