[arm-allstar] Numeric Keypad for mobile ops

[Neil k8it]

it is not necessary to run the the alexa echo dot on arch.         we will just write a script and talk via ssh or dtmf


Thanks

Sounds interesting, have you got Alexa working on Arch?

    Hi Doug, I got a bit frustrated trying to hold the steering wheel whilst
    pressing PTT and the keys on the radio!  I thought an easier solution would
    be to have a numeric keypad like this
    <https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-Mini-18-Keys-USB-Number-Pad-Keypad-Numeric-Keyboard-For-Laptop-Notebook-Free-Shipping/32713439487.html>
    sitting next to the gear shifter, plugged directly into the pi.

    Thanks for the suggestion on the script.

    Regards

      Simon,

      I am not sure I understand. You have a mobile node so you are talking to it
      with a radio. Why can't you use the DTMF pad on the radio to communicate?

      If I assume you have a radio that does not have DTMF and you want to use
      this pad to enter things. You could run a background script that starts at
      boot and constantly looks at output from the keypad. Assuming it is a 0-9
      *#  keypad then the script could look for a *<command># sequence and send
      it to allstar via the client -   /usr/bin/asterisk "rpt fun node
      $command"   where $command was the command formed from the keypad. * would
      always start the command sequence and # would end. The script would look
      roughly like this -

      while true   (endless loop)
      do
      <process the keyboard input>
      if *xxx# sequence found pass to asterisk
      /usr/bin/asterisk "rpt fun node $command"
      done

      Not a hard thing to do assuming you have good communications via USB with
      the keypad.
