Aaron, I know ORP isn’t really supporting UBS sound card interfaces currently, but to explain simply what I’m trying to do. I have a Kenwood 281 connected to a Rigblaster NOMIC USB interface which handles the PTT for the Kenwood. In the previous build of ORP I was able to configure ORP to use the USB interface and not having to use any GPIO pins. In a perfect world I could use the Web GUI to simply select my USB interface (RigBlaster) instead of a list of GPIO’s and manually editing .conf files.

I’ve had a couple years of computer programming, and found out I’m not the sharpest tool in the bag compared to others that was in the class, so I understand the difficulty of writing code and getting it to work. In short I’m happy that I have a echolink node able to run from a small pi3 instead of having a entire Desktop PC dedicated to running it.

I’ll just keep a eye out for new documentation from users as it gets explored more and maybe I’ll get v2.0 working for my set up, if not I’ll just throw my card with the previous version I already have working *Thumbs up* Thanks.

Well, I’m making some progress, I have the PTT working, have echolink connection, but unable to connect from phone for timeout(could be my cellular connection), but getting a message of UNABLE to handle event: ORP_SimplexLogic_Port1:every_minute in logic ORP_SimplexLogic_Port1 (invalid command name “ORP_SimplexLogic_Port1::every_minute”)

Out of time for tonight, more playing with it another night.

Ideas are so simple…then comes the coding =\

Great feedback, thanks for the reply, as It’s been about 17 years since I done any type of program coding, I couldn’t imagine trying to get back into it on the level you and other contributors have for this project. Many big thanks for the time and effort that’s been put into this and the continuing experiments with features. Thanks again. – K5YVY

Thanks, I will give that a go, I do remember changing the svxlink.conf first then running across the link to update the .php file later, so I may do a fresh install since I’ve became familiar with what needs to be changed and I have all that saved to some screen shots. I’ll remember to come back and update this thread with results when I decided to tackle it.

Thanks for the reply Aaron, the USB0 was not an option in the drop down menu, I edited svxlink.conf (/etc/openrepeater/svxlink/svxlink.conf) to change from serial gpio to USB0. I have that working perfectly. But I did at some point edit the (/var/www/openrepeater/functions/svxlink_update.php) to prevent the web gui from undoing my changes as instructed here (https://openrepeater.com/knowledgebase/topic/custom-svxlink-configuration), as the USB options are not supported in the web gui. I use a rigblaster nomic for my ptt control. I will attempt to copy the code out of the .php file and compare it to the native .php file in the original download.
