[arm-allstar] Question about setting up an Allstar node on the RPi 2.

[Scott Zimmerman]

Steve,

I didn't have the finger dexterity to elaborate from my phone earlier, and I got back to my PC 
quicker than I thought I would.

The Repeater-Builder RIM Lite is a USB interface similar to the URI that has all of the circuitry 
necessary for a simple interface such as is necessary with a typical HT. The price point is less 
than a URI, or the Nomic you mentioned. I have used many of these with the Raspberry PIs and they 
work out as nice compact package.

At this point, there is no user manual, but the schematic is publicly available and is typically all 
that is necessary to figure out the cabling.

If you are interested in one, let me know.

Scott
