[arm-allstar] How to use Raspberry Pi GPIO pins to connect and disconnect a node

Wed Jan 29 14:11:12 EST 2020

There are a few ways to do what you are asking. I think you trying to do it
the hard way. If you use supermon you can just add the second node to you
favorits button. If you are not using supermon then you can place a macro
in the rtp.conf

[functionsxxxxx]  <=== your node number
 ; execute macro = *5<macro#>
5=macro,1

[macroxxxxx] <=== your node number
5=*55 *3xxxxx <=== the number you want to dial

Then when you press *55 it will run the function #5 that will run the macro
that will dial your other node

If that is not want you want you can write some PHP so when you go to your
nodes website http://192.168.1.xxx <== you nodes ip you see the "This is a
test" page. Replace the srv\http\index.html with a new one that looks like
this.
<html>
<head>
<title>YourNodeNameHere</title>
</head>

<body>

<br>
<p><a href="/dial.php">Connect</a></p>
<p><a href="/hangup.php">Disconnect</a></p>
</br>

</body>

</html>

Then you need two scripts..that dial and hangup....I can help more if this
is the path you want to take but as it was pointed out to me, your opening
the door of hackers this way.
