[arm-allstar] remote base node functioning question

Are you ending the remote command with a # ?
For example the macro definitions to control the remote base on my other nodes looks like this :
[macros]
..
..
217=*428260*5217# ;Select Channel 17 on 2m
..
..
An entry for each channel.
On the remote base itself, I've used *52 instead of the default memory select code (*0 I think). That way whether you're on one of the other nodes or IaxRpt/Zoiper directly connected to the remote, the channel change command is the same.

Upon further poking, I've established that my problem has nothing to do with remote bases; it seems like asterisk hangs for me after I function any linked node (anytime I use a *4 to prefix another connected node)
I tried simply connected my main BBB's simpleusb node (not a remote base node) to my other BBB's main simpleusb node (not a remote base node). I then functioned the linked BBB to do a *81. It did so properly, but then my "main" BBB locks up and wont take any more commands.
Any ideas?

Ken, like I said, the USB-serial adapter is working
perfectly with my BBB. Frequency commands, etc are working just
fine!

as i said to you before sam I have gotten this to
work with the acid code.
it will not work for full cat control using a usb serial
adapter i had tried that myself.
you need a real pc with a real serial port. I am using a
pc with a pentium 4 processor with a
real serial port usb to serial just does not work at
all.
other wise it does work very well and you have to
program the icon 706 a certain for it to work also.
i have been successful with this. unless the code can be
modified to use the gpio on a raspi.
usb to serial just does not work at all not with out
modifying the code.
cat control is done via the icom ci-v protocol from with
in app_rpt.c

Whenever you call a node a remote base,
weirdness happens to the usb adapter. It's just
not workable in the bbb or even later revs of
acid.
This interests me... I will have to run
some experiments soon.
Which radios are you running and do you
have any good scripts you could pass on and maybe
how you operate it as a user? I'd appreciate any
input.

Sam,
I haven't personally used the Syntor X-cat
adapter. I looked at their
yahoo group and the documentation in the "files"
section. Otherwise, I've
used rigctl to manage many different radios,
with great success. The first
place to start is from the BBB shell prompt,
with remote-base support
disabled in app_rpt. Once you get familiar with
the various rigctl
commands, macros for access via AllStar are
pretty easy--just directly
call the rigctl command from AllStar.
I'm guessing you're using the CI-V interface
method for the Xcat? Are you
using full VFO capability, or just changing the
Syntor's modes (AKA:
channels)?
If simply changing modes, I'm guessing some
command something like this
will work:
/usr/local/bin/rigctl -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -m 311 -s
19200 -c0x20 h 27
-r /dev/ttyUSB0 #### serial interface to
use...
-s 19200 #### serial data rate (Xcat uses
19200, based on the manual)
-c0x20 #### CI-V address (Xcat is fixed at
0x20, from the manual)
h 27 #### "h 27" changes to memory channel
channel 27
"rigctl -l" will get a list of supported radio
back-ends. I'd recommend
trying various Icom back-ends, hopefully finding
something that works
100%.
rigctl -l #### Get list of available back-ends
"rigctl -m 311 -u" will get a list of supported
features for a given
back-end, try this. Note that the "-m 311" uses
the ic-706mk2g back-end.
rigctl -m 311 -u #### Get supported features for
back-end 311
I'll try to help further, once I understand more
about your setup.
