PTT for RTS/DTR on serial ports #51

Open SpudGunMan opened 2 years ago

SpudGunMan commented 2 years ago

network connect to fldigi or hamlib radio control ports for expanding PTT, also can enable PTT for RTS/DTR on serial ports? this would enable a lot more functions

I'll also ask for PTT via RTS/DTR. That would let me use devices like a DigiRig to handle both soundcard and serial PTT with one USB connection.

RTS/DTR

As in Data Terminal Ready (RS232 Control Signal) - Such as on Audino boards etc?

If this is the case, this should be pretty straightforward - Let me know and we can chat more and I can work to get this added. 👍 - Sure sounds like an awesome idea though :)

I'll admit I'm not much of a hardware guy. The closest I've come to doing hardware stuff on my Pi and knock-off boards is to put them in a case. :)

I've seen some ham software use a device like /dev/ttyUSB0 for RTS. I don't really know how it works, but I have used my DigiRig to handle PTT in Direwolf for packet radio.

Thanks,

Scott

Having the ability to use DigiRig would be handy to implement if possible?
