[arm-allstar] macro question

Neil,
There is currently no way I know of without using a dialplan to capture and pass DTMF. That is why I showed an example for a reasonable amount of channels, say 10 to 20 using function statements. Technically there is no reason why you cold not have a hundred functions defined but it would get very cumbersome. You could start at 800 and go up through 899. BTW in your example you can't use *5x, that is reserved for macros.
Another way you could do this is to have an up/down memory function which would go to the next or previous memory location. This would only take two function codes.
I am thinking this could be done with a dialplan via the autopatch link but it would require some thought and programming and may not be as flexible as you would want. Right now Allstar, via the radio, processes the DTMF sequences. There is no way to split off entries like *8278 - having Allstar respond to *82 then pass 78 somewhere else as a channel number. This would be a good update to the code being able to parse from an entered DTMF string but it does not exist now directly in Allstar.
For now if you must have this I would setup a reasonable number of function definitions that each pass a parameter to a script that calls hamlib directly and does what you want to do.

some very interesting ideas.
What I might try is to create a total of 11 scripts. Say *50 to
*59, *60
Using your ideas, I can use the first ten scripts to enter digits 0- 9 to a
temporary variable, use localplay to echo the digit and exit. (Assume that
the variable is equal to null at the beginning) Each of these scripts will test
the variable for a length of 3 digits. When
this occurs another script will be called. . This
script will process the 3 DTMF digits and call the HAMLIB with
the proper commands. . The *60 macro will call a disconnect
script. Doing it this way I can get 1000 memories with only a few simple
scripts. Also the temporary variable will be cleared to null once the memory
connect command is issued. What do you think of this idea?
Thanks

Neil,
You
could define multiple functions that called the same script with different
parameters or channels. In this case *D1 through *D3 would set channels 1-3. You
can add more as you wish and even process additional parameters.
D1=cmd,/etc/asterisk/local/set_channel 1
D2=cmd,/etc/asterisk/local/set_channel
2
D3=cmd,/etc/asterisk/local/set_channel
3
etc....
Then in the script test the parameter and
execute the proper command or just use the parameter in the
call to the command.
# !/bin/bash
if [ -z $1
]
then
echo "No channel given (1-16)"
exit 0
fi
case "$1" in
1) Echo "Channel
1"
# command for channel 1 to asterisk put
here
;;
2) echo "Channel
2"
# command for channel 2 to asterisk put
here
;;
3) echo "Channel
3"
# command for channel 3 to asterisk put
here
;;
#etc.... add
channels
esac
exit
By the way
Dave, KB4FXC commented to me that you could use the dialplan in extensions .conf
to do this and that is exactly what I did years ago in a script to control my
X10 system from the phone in Asterisk.
Here is an example -
[controlx10]
exten =>
s,1,background(doug/enter_x10)
exten => s,n,Set(TIMEOUT(response)=4)
exten =>
s,n,Set(TIMEOUT(digit)=1)
exten => s,n,WaitExten()
exten =>
s,n,Goto(s,1)
exten => _1.,1,System(/usr/local/bin/x10 on
${EXTEN:1})
exten => _1.,n,SayNumber(${EXTEN:1})
exten =>
_1.,n,Playback(on)
exten => _1.,n,Goto(s,1)
exten =>
_0.,1,System(/usr/local/bin/x10 off ${EXTEN:1})
exten =>
_0.,n,SayNumber(${EXTEN:1})
exten => _0.,n,Playback(off)
exten =>
_0.,n,Goto(s,1)
exten => _3.,1,System(/usr/local/bin/x10 dim
${EXTEN:1})
;exten => _3.,1,noop(${EXTEN:1})
exten =>
_3.,n,Goto(s,1)
exten => _4.,1,System(/usr/local/bin/x10 bright
${EXTEN:1})
exten => _4.,n,Goto(s,1)
exten =>
_5.,1,System(/usr/local/bin/x10 allon ${EXTEN:1})
exten =>
_5.,n,Goto(s,1)
exten => _6.,1,System(/usr/local/bin/x10 alloff
${EXTEN:1})
exten => _6.,n,Goto(s,1)
;exten =>
4,1,Playback(goodbye)
;exten => 4,n,Hangup()
exten =>
*,1,Return()
exten => #,1,Hangup()
This would need to be
setup in Allstar but could work. I think for now an easier and more
straightforward way would be to use the script method I proposed above if it
works for you.

Thanks Doug. And yes I agree with using scripts. What I am trying to do is
respond to a users DTMF digits for a remote base application. I now have written
script code using hamlib to control my TMV71A radio. it works good but only has
a few preprogrammed memories based on which macro you use.
I would like to instead receive three DTMF digits and process them before
passing them to the radio via hamlib. Somehow there is a way!
If I call a script
is it possible to call an asterisk function from within the script to
receive three DTMF digits directly to the script for more processing?
Thanks

Neil,
I
don't think you can pass parameters to a macro. There would be no way to test
for vlaues. Why not call a script and pass parameters there. here is an example
from rpt.conf. This is defined in the [functions] section. *A1 would call this
and execute sayip.sh. 27225 is the passed
parameter.
A1=cmd,/usr/local/sbin/sayip.sh 27225
The in the
sayip.sh script $1 is then defined as 27225. You can have multiple
parameters so if it were -
A1=cmd,/usr/local/sbin/sayip.sh 1 2
3
Then in the script $1 would =1, $2 would = 2, and $3 would
=3.
This yet again shows the power of using scripts over built-in
code.
