Hello All,
I have a Raspberry PI 3 & the ICS-CTRL PI-Repeater 1x board.
In the Open Repeater Setup it asks for certain Pin information:

Receiver Settings (RX)
This part of the setup is asking for the following:

1. Receive Mode: I chosen COS
2. Receive GPIO Pin: I looked in the documents but not really sure which one????
3. Receive Audio input: Just has a check mark, is this right?

Transmitter Settings (TX)
This part of the setup is asking for the following:

1. Transmit GPIO Pin: I looked in the documents but not really sure which one????
3. Transmit Audio output: Just has a check mark, is this right?

This is new to me & I appreciate all your help!

Thank you,
73

Ed,
The following should be the settings that you are after. I would imagine that you are using the current public available version 1.1.0 which should work find as it only supports one port in that version. I believe it should have the driver support in there for the onboard audio chip. Let me know if you are not seeing the Fe-Pi Audio in the drop down menus.

RX GPIO: 26 with active low
TX GPIO: 506 with active high
Audio In (RX): Fe-Pi Audio Right
Audio Out (TX): Fe-Pi Audio Right

Thanks Aaron,

I will try this this weekend.
I also have a raspberry PI Zero. Will your image work on it?
If not do you know what would need to be done?

Hello Aaron,
I had a few minutes to enter in the GPIO pins & I am still not seeing the Fe-Pi Audio in the drop down menus.

Hi Ed,
I am thinking that the FePi drivers may not be enabled in the 1.1.0 version. There may be a way to enable, but that may be too much to explain. I was thinking back to an older development version that had the support. I will try to email you a link that has a dev version that should work and we will go from there.

Hello Aaron,
I downloaded the dev version that you sent the link to.
In the drop down I am only seeing:
OUTPUT: Loopback (Right)
OUTPUT: Loopback (Left)
OUTPUT: Loopback (Right)
OUTPUT: Loopback (Left)

Any thoughts?

Can you run the aplay -l command from shell? Also what does the “advanced” pop up say under ports. That’s and aplay wrapper.

Try “i2cdetect -y 1” and post your results.
