I am doing basic research into hardware for my first node. Can I use URi's which I already purchased on Beagle board or do I need to use the LOX board? Any updates on getting the RPI up and working ? Last message I read indicated that it not quite there? Should I just get a ITX motherboard and go from there first? Any direction to other resources is appreciated. I would prefer the final endpoint to be a small embedded package to deploy on a mountaintop that is visited yearly so need the robustness. Thanks Dave
Hi Dave, I personally have not tried a Beagleboard, so those that know can let us know if I am incorrect. You can use a URI, but only with chan_simpleusb, which mean no DSP for squelch or tone decode/encode. You will need to provide those in the form of logic signals. The CPU of the Beagleboard just doesn't have enough horsepower. Another embedded option would be a RTCM (Radio Thin Client Module), here is a link: http://micro-node.com/thin-m1.html Monty KE7JVX On Fri, Nov 2, 2012 at 9:10 AM, Dave Miller <ve7pke@gmail.com> wrote:
