[arm-allstar] USB to serial hookup to controller

[David McGough]

Chris,

About any usb-to-serial adapter should work for this type of
application---I mostly use inexpensive PL2303 clones.

If you're wanting to look at the serial interface via an ssh session, the 
minicom software (pacman -S minicom) is what I use most frequently.

I know the Arcom controllers also have a MSWin application for 
configuration. If you're wanting to use that software, you can setup the 
serial interface on the Linux box to be a "virtual" serial interface 
hanging off the MSWin system. For most scenarios that aren't timing 
critical, this works well, too. Note that you've got to have TCP/IP 
connectivity from the RPi3 to the PC for this to work. I always run VPN's 
when performing these activities.

I’ve got a tower site where it would be great to have a serial connection to my repeater controller.  RC-210 

I would like to use my Pi that of course is running hamvoip distro 

Can I get a suggestion on what usb to serial device to use and any special setup instructions needed to make it play nice?

Thanks for the help. 

Thank you,
