Aaron-
Well I finally received all the parts and soldered up as per my diagram above. I do have an issue with the Tx1 being stuck in transmit. Any ideas on where to start troubleshooting that? I’m not sure if I have an error in my assembly or with the software configuration. Any guidance would be great. It’d be nice if you had a “Buy Service” button that started a Webex with ya!
🙂

Thanks as always.

Great explanation! Here’s the GPIO card that came with my RPi kit.

If I use the Easy Digi to interface with the radios, do I need to build a pull up resistor? For my POC, I’m using 2 Boefeng HT’s. Here’s an image of the way I “think” this goes together. Is this correct?

The rest of my parts arrived today! I should have enough to get my system running once I solder everything up!

Thanks again, Aaron!

You rock, sir! Downloading it now…
I’m glad to finally have my RPi. The soundcard and Easy Digi should be here soon, too. I’ve been reading the man pages for SVXLink and I’m optimistic that I’ll get some of this working, perhaps all of it giving enough time.
Thank you for all of your work!!!!

Ahhhh, OK, I see what you mean. I though I could basically create a cross band repeater system with this system and two base station radios. Any chance I could have this system mimic a bidirectional cross band system? Even if I needed to get another sound card/Easy Digi, that would be fun to create.
Or am I just barking up the wrong tree?

Thanks again, Aaron for the great explanation!

Thank you for the information! I will order the RPi 3 then and get the proper Easy Digi. Great to hear that you’re adding the relay controls to this system. That will be perfect!
Good advice on the cross band repeating. I will have to have the radio not connected to the big antenna set to the other band, and being the link to my HT. Unfortunately, the HT cannot hit or receive from the repeaters I’m trying to use, so it’ll all have to go to my OpenRepeater.

Thank you again for the help!

I guess that I don’t know how to spell https://. Hi Hi. It opened right up and thanks for your help.

Thanks for your reply.
I have a 1RU project under way with a bit of a custom setup but have many good ideas I am keen to adapt as time moves on.

Thanks again

The Interface Board looks good.
I am keen to see full details and feature list.

Ho do I add myself to the Hardware Waiting List??

Thanks for you reply

On the COS Circuit the VCC Pin is at 3.3V when inactive as tested by a meter. When I key up a radio the VCC will go down to 240.4 mV when active. I am just not sure where to put this PIN on the GPIO Header.

Within the /sys/class/gpio directory I have

gpio30
gpio31
gpio42
gpiochip0
gpiochup32
gpiochip63
gpiochip96

Inside of the gpio30 directory which the Web Interface has the COS Set to 30 I show
active_low
direction
edge
power
sysystem
uevent
value

if I cat the value it has 0 and when I cat it while transmitting it has the same value of 0

I am trying to use the COS. A circuit was created but modified from original format due to the Output of the Kenwood TKR-851 being different voltage on the COS Circuit. I had 2 Amateurs who knew electronics create the circuit using zenior diode and a few resisters. When tested with the volt meter this circuit produced the same results as the one that was sent in the hardware section for the COS Circuit.
