[arm-allstar] PI Zero

[Pierre Martel]

Thanks bot for the reply,
First I just realise that I types usbradio in the original question, but I
meant simpleusb.
Next question, I remember that there was some talk about using an arduino
for input/output support.

Is that still on the drawing board or not? I undestand that there are some
latence in communicating with an arduino. but if the code on the arduino is
light it could be an nice way to handle the in and out for peple like me
that are not too prone to modify a usb fob. not that my soldering skill are
not good, on the inverse, but I dont like to put a moded fob on a nice
repeater site with all the rf and other signal that can come inside that
smal device.

If the project as not been tackled yet I could try to work on the arduino
side. An arduino Due would do the job easily, we could even take the rssi
signal from it by one of its dac input. It would be my first project on
development board, but with all the info running around I am sure I could
handle that... I did made a repeater controler in basic on an Atari 8 bit
computer by hacking the joystick input to do some outputing.. and it was
synched to 1/60 of a second.. with tot,id in morse stats on how many tx and
how long and the average lenght on the tx, programmable tail lenght.. all
that in 1988. I was not even an ham yet, I could not pass the damn morse
exam cause i have dislexia..

Thanks again for the reply. hopefully the PiZ will work with arm allstar ;-)
