[arm-allstar] Echolink

Boban,

 This is rather easy using the FOB. Depending on what FOB you are using. If
it is the DMK URI  it has 7 usable GPIO ports.

Add the following to your  rpt.conf file in the [events] stanza.  The
events stanza may or may not already be there. It is usually associated
with a node number. So in the node section you wanted to control the bit
with PTT you would have a statement like   events=eventsxxxxx   where xxxxx
is replaced with the node number and then the stanza below the node
definitions would be [eventsxxxxx] with xxxxx replace with the same node
number.

cop,62,GPIO1:1 = c|t|RPT_TXKEYED
cop,62,GPIO1:0 = c|f|RPT_TXKEYED

Then in simpleusb.conf add in the radio stanza associated with this node:

gpio1=out0

This would assert the FOB GPIO bit 1 on PTT  keyed.
You could change the bit to  2,4,5,6,7,8  - gpiox  but use the right case
for gpio in both cases/
