Tried this on a related thread, but I think that might have been the wrong way to go. Posting my own thread as the problem is essentially different.
It seems to not wait before I start transmitting. With duplex set to 1, It will transmit for about five seconds, then play the courtesy tone and repeat. If I transmit for less than five seconds, it will stop transmitting shortly after I do and play the courtesy tone.
With duplex set to zero, obviously it doesn’t start transmitting unless I turn on echo mode, then the hotspot starts keying immediately after I tx on my handheld. I have not tried connecting to any remote services yet, as I’d prefer not to annoy the network until I have some idea that it’s working properly.
I suspected I didn’t have VCOS set up correctly, but to be honest I don’t know what this is anymore. I’ve tried various modifications, without much luck. I feel like I’m pretty close, but missing the obvious. RF doesn’t seem to be interfering with anything at the moment as far as I can tell, but I have added a choke and both radios are in low power mode.
Setup Information
Hardware is a PI Zero 2W with the NA6D AIOC. Happy to provide any further debugging data that might help. Decent with linux, but it’s been a few years since I’ve really played with asterisk.
I have flashed the 1.4.1 firmware to the AIOC chip, and then enabled VCOS using the aioc-util like so:
./aioc-util.py --enable-vcos --vcos-timctrl 1500 --store
I then installed ASL3 on a rpi02w and set up the system as defined in the AIOC readme. Had to adapt them somewhat for changes to ASL3.
