Hey Travis,
Yeah, I’m thinking the same, actually. The issues I see are:
* Interrupting receive audio to get speech from Orca/Speakup/whatever
* Input. USB keyboard perhaps? Because I don’t think touch screens work very well under GNU/Linux for us.?
At any rate, even if we start out by using the web interface from another computer just to start off with, that’s something, and probably not the end of the story.?
BTW, If I read this right, the Pi 0 ?(or whatever its designation is...2w?) runs the show, and there’s a separate Pi Nano that runs the touch screen. I gather that this isn’t exactly a Pi though, more like the Raspberry Pi Foundation’s answer to Arduino. So not sure if it could be repurposes to running speech synthesis or not.?
It should be fun, at any rate.?
Keeping an eye out for it. An 80-10m transceiver for under $200 that can be hacked on sounds good to me. Add one of those N7DBC autotuners even. This should be a lot of fun.?

I'm figuring we can just install espeak/orca on one of these
radios, and have complete speech access that way.? It's possible
we'll need to swap out the raspberry pi board, to either one with
more ram or one with more cpu muscle, depending on what's required
to make it all work, but that shouldn't be a major issue, as long
as we can put the wires back where they go.? And, I'm fairly
certain that the only pi that needs to run the speech software is
the one that handles the display, because that already has all the
info we need to operate the system.
I was planning on buying one of the zbix devices when they
started taking orders again, and seeing exactly what it would take
to get it operational with speech feedback.? I'm thinking it
shouldn't be a difficult process, considering it already runs a
full blown raspbian setup anyhow, and we already can run speech on
those, so it should be as simple as installing a few new packages,
and poof, talking zbix.
It's of course possible it won't be that simple, but I won't know
that until I get one of them here to check out how exactly it
works.

be clear, I’m OK with the port forwarding, or putting something on
Tailscale or (currently using) Zerotier. I was really asking if
anyone had this set up that I might look at. As I say, longshot, I
know, and I wouldn’t expect that anyone has one set up full time.?

But I wrote that the shack had it's own router.
Right?
