All the packages are there although until the 1.3 versions come out there may be some kernel sync problems in doing package downloads. <br><br>We do install quite a few packages on the images but we can't install everything or know everyone's needs. A package that would work for you is called Samba which would allow you to transfer files easily between windows and linux systems. This would allow you to have access to files on your windows system from you linux system assuming they were shared. A script oculd be written to transfer files from one system to the other based on a certain condition.<br><br></font><b><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">73 Doug</font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">WA3DSP</font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">http://www.crompton.com/hamradio</font></b><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: wb9rsq@gmail.com<br>To: arm-allstar@hamvoip.org<br>Date: Thu, 11 Feb 2016 15:06:09 -0600<br>Subject: [arm-allstar] Network resources<br><br>
<title>Network resources</title>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">First my thanks to the folks that answered my earlier questions.</font></span><span lang="en-us"></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">As long as I’m on a roll might as well toss out a few more.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">Maybe this is addressed in the yet to be released 1.3 release but I would rather</font></span><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Calibri">know now.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">I want to connect to a network share elsewhere on my network from the BBB.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">None of the usual file systems support</font></span><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Calibri">seems to be available.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">I thought I could install what I mi</font></span><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">ght need through apt-get but that doesn’t seem to be installed on the image either.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">I am not a Linux expert, not even close!</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">I want to use the mount command to make</font></span><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Calibri">that share connection.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">How can I do that?</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">I have Windows machines and another ARM based</font></span><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Calibri">machine running and I want to be able to access files they create but I don’t want to have to build a web server just to make them accessible to the bbb.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">I found a program for Windows called dspeech.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">It uses sapi5 synthesizers and can be command line driven.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">I want to build a batch file on my Windows box that watches for input text files</font></span><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">, builds audio output files and puts them where the BBB can get them.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">Since I have a choice of at least 10 high quality voices on my Windows platform I can create some nice text2speech files for my node</font></span><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">s.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">I have a Aculink internet bridge and 5N1 sensor running on a PI.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">There is a set of</font></span><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Calibri">bridge-utils that can grab the raw packets from the bridge and with some simple scripts process them in to text or whatever files that I could also then ship through dspeech for current weather conditions.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">So does anybody have an idea of what a batch file on Windows might look like?</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">Basically</font></span><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Calibri">monitor folder X.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">When new text file appears run command to create audio file.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">Put audio file in network location.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">Delete input text</font></span><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Calibri">file from folder.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">I’m thinking the script that built the text file on the BBB would handle putting the file on the network and removing the audio when</font></span><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Calibri">it has been played.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">If anyone has a better idea I’m interested.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">I’m not interested in the</font></span><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Calibri">Festival or Flight or Espeak options.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">I’ve already paid for software synths on my Window</font></span><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">s machines since I need them for my screen readers.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">Now to recycle an old question.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">I know this has been beat to death but I can</font></span><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">’t find the</font></span><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Calibri">dead horse</font></span><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">Can you play audio out to a remote node when it connects to you?</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">If so how?</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">I assume disconnect i</font></span><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">s at the remote end so I don’t think you could play a farewell message.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">I can enter codes for local functions to play back audio on my local node.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">What</font></span><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Calibri">would a script look</font></span><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Calibri">like</font></span><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Calibri">to let a remote node</font></span><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri"> input codes to trigger audio back to that remote node?</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">Ok, I’m done.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">I’m sure it will take me weeks to digest the answers to these and my earlier questions.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">Much thanks.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">Oh, and I really do have working nodes, 41822</font></span><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">, my RF node and 42392, my computer only node.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri"></font></span><span lang="en-us"> </span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">Or</font></span><span lang="en-us"> </span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"></span></p>
