parallel port use

Steve, is this not in the current distro? I assumed that it was the same source as whet Jim wrote. Or maybe what you mean is to have it now wiggle lines on the serial port, that's outstanding.
At any rate, I'm a big fan of the method as any CM108/119, etc US fob can be used. Interface is a 2N2907, etc. So I also standardized on the D945 Intel board (that decision goes back to limey linux) D945GLLY, if I remember correctly. Has a printer port DB25.

The Pi is surely smaller. Has anyone ever tried the parallel port interface using one of the USB<--->DB25 adapt-a-trons to see if that would work?

This will not work. The USB to parallel ports require drivers and only
support ECP (printer) protocol. There is no way to support this on USB as a
parallel port is memory mapped at 0x378, and you can't simulate this with out
a great deal of trickery.

George,
The current version supports the printer port for signaling. From what I've seen in the code I REALLY doubt a USB to PP adapter will work.

What I've added to the GitHub issues area is the request to support a serial port for signaling (COS, CTCSS, PTT)

Everyone needs to understand that my adding it to the issues area does not in any way mean it will happen. I want to document the requests so they are visible to all. If someone wants to take on the feature and write it, the code team will vet it like any other addition. Again this does not mean it would make it into the distribution. But at that point it would be available to someone that wanted to play with it.

I posted this message in the beginning of the month and there seemed to be no interest.

This probably is not a high priority on the list right now.

Subject: [App_rpt-users] Pi 3 Use of GPIO for PTT and COS

Greetings,

Just wondering if anyone has been able to modify SimpleUSB or USBradio channel drivers to be able to use GPIO pins on the PI 3 for PTT and COS.

This would be very useful for using potted sound fobs where you can not access the COS and PTT pins.

I have noticed that the VK Link guys have channel drivers that support this feature.

http://nevarc.net.au/manual/index.php?page=Wiring+to+a+radio

Check out their Chan_SimpleUSB, Chan_USBradio configurations.

Go to there main page

http://vklink.com.au/manual/index.php?page=Main+page

Then scroll down to “Choosing a Channel Driver” and click on that link.

Looks like the work has been done, wondering if this could be added to official DIAL release features.

Sure would be nice for folks that want to experiment without having to spend very much to play in the Allstarlink technology.
