Good morning,
I would like to connect my Yaesu FT‑817 to a Raspberry Pi 3B+ (ASL3 + DVSwitch). Initially, I wanted to use the DIGIRIG v1.5 that I already own, but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to work. I found some modifications, but only for version 1.9.
An alternative would be using a modified CM108 USB FOB. I’ve looked at the various MODs available online, but they are all different from one another. Additionally, someone here on the forum mentioned that the latest boards purchased on AliExpress no longer work!
PS: There is also a board called AIOC, but it seems that it doesn’t fully support DTMF tones, which are essential for me!
Does anyone have any advice on where I should focus my research?
Thanks.
Make a cable to connect the two units together, the RA35 is powered from the Pi
RA-35 DB9 Pinout:
1 - Right (Aux or Tone) Output
2 - Left (Main or Voice) Output (use this one)
3 - COS Logic Input - (pull near ground required for valid input) (use this one)
4 - CTCSS Logic Input - (pull near ground required for valid input)
5 - PTT Output (use this one)
6 - Discriminator / Detector or Receiver Audio Input - (level controlled by potentiometer) (use this one)
7 - Local Control (Control Revert) Logic Output (Use with JU1 - see note below)
8 - Ground - (Digital and Analog) (use this one)
9 - External Audio Amplifier Power (6 to 15 VDC) (Use with JU2 - position B)
