Pretty cool, I had not gotten that deep in to the core of the scxlink radio controller module. It looks like it supports voting as well.
Having that nice audio interface board would be a real time saver especially if I am going to need to interface three or four radios in different locations. How far out are those from being able to be purchased do you think?
I looked at the hardware section for some interface schematics and I did not see anything. Where for example do you specify the GPIO pins for COS or PTT. Also looks like the voter will need RSSI which can be passed to the server. Has anyone worked out a standard implementation for the interface (which pins get normally assigned to what?)
Hope I am not asking too many dumb questions. Thanks Doug
Neat project. I am an embedded hardware software guy from the 90s and been doing playing with repeaters for a long time.
I have always wanted to build a repeater that supported multiple remote receivers all on the same freq that would like using IP to the transmitter site. The trick has always been to pass the signal strength so you can select the RX stream from the best receiver.
Any thoughts on this? Also wondering if the python code is available for tweaking? Are you open sourcing the development so perhaps different teams could add features?
Thanks – looking forward to building my next repeater with a PI
