Re: [App_rpt-users] USB FOB options
Ok I can confirm that de-blobbing this CM119 chip is a no-go. Heat gun removed the blob no worries, but removed (or destroyed) everything else as well. Might be a good option if you wanted to desolder the entire board which it did famously, but removing the blob also removed the chip and after that of course the computer wouldn't recognise the device. $3.50 down the flusher, oh well!

I just received 8 of the "blob fobs" for $.99 each. Is there anyone working on assigning the PTT to one of the LEDs on the fob? 73, Eric 4Z1UG / WA6IGR Allstar Node: 28422 From: app_rpt-users-bounces@ohnosec.org [mailto:app_rpt-users-bounces@ohnosec.org] On Behalf Of Steve Wright Sent: Saturday, March 08, 2014 5:32 AM To: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] USB FOB options Ok I can confirm that de-blobbing this CM119 chip is a no-go.

Hey, isn’t there a mute switch on those? I’ve got about 10 of them here now. But anyway, with the LED’s plus up/down/mute buttons exposed, that would sure make things pretty straightforward, no? Maybe? I wish I was smart. On Mar 22, 2014, at 2:54 PM, Eric Guth <eric@efratnetworks.com> wrote:

I have a box of those, none of the buttons function with Allstar. They are great for how I use them. I use the 2nd audio channel to send pl tone, the rectify and filter that to drive a transistor for PTT. COR is done via Allstar DSP. Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android

This custom code required recompiling? Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android
Yes, If you changed things in a .c file it would have to be recompiled to take advantage of it. The source is in /usr/src/astsrc/ Compiling is easy. Just make sure you make backups of the file(s) you change so you can go back if there is a problem. Make the change(s) Then issue these commands.... make clean ./configure make make install It takes about 10 minutes to a half hour or more depending on the speed of your system. Also understand that when you make changes and later do an update they will go away but usually there is no reason to do an update unless there is some fix you really need. 73 Doug WA3DSP http://www.crompton.com/hamradio Date: Sun, 23 Mar 2014 11:56:48 -0700 From: n6gkj.cm98@yahoo.com To: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] USB FOB options This custom code required recompiling?

There are no such actual bits, per the CM108/CM119 datasheets. Button states, and hence LEDs, are *read-only* to the USB host. The only lines that are writable, and hence usable for PTT control, are the GPIO lines, which of course are inaccessible with a potted chip. The interface to both is through USB HID reports. I'd like to be wrong about it, but the datasheets (section 7.4 in each) seem pretty clear. $0.02, Eric K5BFC On Sun, Mar 23, 2014 at 10:59 AM, Doug Crompton <doug@crompton.com> wrote:
