Has this been done? It would make things better. GPIO for PTT and COS when using a generic sound FOB. Nano control. Will an update to V1.5 in mid 2017 Thanks Walt
Thanks Larry. I was just wondering about it. I will just have to mod my sound fob.

Too bad as many Allstar user would have really like that project to be a workable solution. Regards Larry - N7FM On 10/30/18 3:19 PM, walter wrote: Has this been done? It would make things better.

The last time I saw someone make a request for a gpio PTT driver on the Hamvoip list the response was something along the lines of 'why would you want to do that. we see no need'.
Too bad as many Allstar user would have really like that project to be a workable solution.
I'd love to have a gpio ptt driver since I have my own custom dual radio interface board that uses gpio's for PTT and COS. If efforts to build a package for raspian ever happen I'll look into adding support. In the past I've tried to build my own custom version but the online instructions had so many dependencies on Arch that I gave up for the time being. I gave up on Allstar and went with SvxLink which does have gpio support. I'm also reasonably certain the NWDigital guys would love support for their UDRC and DRAWS products since they use gpio's as well. -- Ken - N7IPB Email: n7ipb@wetnet.net JID: n7ipb@jabber.wetnet.net SvxLink Repeaters: http://pnw220.wetnet.net PGP Sig: F42B EF90 3CD3 31C7 3056 122E 993A 7B2E 5138 C42A “Contrariwise,' continued Tweedledee, 'if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't.
