[arm-allstar] Radioless Node - push button switch to run connect to hub/node script

[Rob Seaman]

Hi All,

I'm building a radioless node for a friend who has interest in Allstar, but little to no interest in computers.

He has given me a well made box, that was previously used a radio test jig setup, so it has a mic, speaker and a row of LED's & momentary SPST push button type switches on the front panel.

One idea I had was to use the momentary switches to connect to some hubs, one for discconnect all and one for a shutdown switch on GPIO pins 9 & 11.

The shutdown switch is easy, as the script already exists in Hamvoip.

I had a search back through the Hamvoip.org list archives and the Allstar Community chat for connect/disconnect via a momentary switch on the GPIO, while there was one or two brief mentions of wanting to do this, I wasn't able to find any other information or scripts.

I read the 'Using the GPIO command with Allstar 06/11/15' found on the Hamvoip website, so have a slightly better understanding, but I'm not clear how Allstar/Hamvoip is to monitor for example, GPIO pin 13 going to ground, therefore execute disconnect all (*76) or pin 15 going to ground, therefore connect to UK Hub (*7341522).

Hope the above makes sense and any tips or assistance would be aprpeciated.

Regards,

Rob...
