That would be very easy. The PTT (in most cases) goes to ground when active and it would be high not active. The only thing you have to be careful of if you connect the fan directly to the PTT line is the fan voltage should not be more than the open high state of the radios PTT. You could also build a simple keying circuit to start the fan when the PTT went low and eliminate that problem.

That would be very easy. The PTT (in most cases) goes to ground when active and it would be high not active. The only thing you have to be careful of if you connect the fan directly to the PTT line is the fan voltage should not be more than the open high state of the radios PTT. You could also build a simple keying circuit to start the fan when the PTT went low and eliminate that problem. Most people get way to carried away with fan circuits but if you want to get fancy here is an example - <br clear="none"><br clear="none"><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://latinovoip.net/allstar-and-the-gpio-fan-script-for-dmk-engineering-uri/">http://latinovoip.net/allstar-and-the-gpio-fan-script-for-dmk-engineering-uri/</a><br clear="none"><br id="yiv3463921160ecxFontBreak" clear="none"></span><b><span style="font-size:16.0pt;">73 Doug<br clear="none">WA3DSP<br clear="none">http://www.crompton.com/hamradio</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;"></span></div><div><div class="yiv3463921160MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;"><img id="yiv3463921160ecxHorizontal_x0020_Line_x0020_1" src="cid:DX0HveiZW0YNIkvzx5FZ" alt="cid:image002.png@01D118A0.72FC5AF0" border="0" height="1" width="708"></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;"></span></div><div class="yiv3463921160MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;">To: arm-allstar@hamvoip.org<br clear="none">From: wt9s@me.com<br clear="none">Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2015 10:18:55 -0700<br clear="none">Subject: [arm-allstar] GPIO control of fan</span></div><div><div class="yiv3463921160MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;">Hi folks,<br clear="none"> <br clear="none">I’ve been running my repeater here with an Arcom RC210 controller for years. I have the repeater, an IRLP computer, and the Allstar node (now on a Pi) each connected to a port on the controller. The controller currently switches on a fan for 60 seconds whenever PTT goes active. I am thinking of ditching the IRLP and the Arcom and running my repeater with the Allstar node as the controller. I’m looking for some pointers on how to control the fan with either the URI GPIO, or the USB GPIO described in the How-Tos. I guess using the URI would be simpler.<br clear="none"> <br clear="none">Thanks,<br clear="none"> <br clear="none">Jay – WT9S<br clear="none"> <br clear="none">Sent from <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986">Mail</a> for Windows 10</span></div></div></div><div class="yiv3463921160MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;"><br clear="none">_______________________________________________ arm-allstar mailing list arm-allstar@hamvoip.org http://lists.hamvoip.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/arm-allstar Visit the BBB and RPi2 web page - http://hamvoip.org</span></div><div class="yiv3463921160MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;"> </span></div></div></div><div class="yiv3463921160MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;"> </span></div><div class="yiv3463921160MsoNormal"> </div><div class="yiv3463921160MsoNormal"> </div></div></div></div><br clear="none">_______________________________________________<br clear="none">arm-allstar mailing list<br clear="none"><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:arm-allstar@hamvoip.org" target="_blank" href="mailto:arm-allstar@hamvoip.org">arm-allstar@hamvoip.org</a><br clear="none"><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://lists.hamvoip.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/arm-allstar">http://lists.hamvoip.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/arm-allstar</a><br clear="none"><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div> </div></div><div class="yiv3463921160yqt4022652097" id="yiv3463921160yqtfd80770"> </div></div><div class="yiv3463921160yqt4022652097" id="yiv3463921160yqtfd79639"> </div></div></div></body></html>
