Ptt signal to control accesories


 

Hello,
Has someone an elegant solution to extract a ptt signal to control accesories on the antenna side of sbitx (power amp, antenna switch, qrm eliminator, etc.).
I read about a USB serial adapter where get the RTS signal when transmitting... Has it be implemented at SW level? I can try if necessary... I read also about GPIO signal on the rpi and on Q9 on the board...
Has someone solved?
Thanks

Make sure the disconnection is correct.

The difference of taking TX from pin 2 to 74LS08 (5v) and exiting Q9 (12V)? makes a delay Q10,Q101 and Q9?


 

Very interesting but I prefer to avoid soldering on the board...
Js8call has a "ptt command" option that call a script when the ptt state change. In the worse I will use a USB serial adapter with some code and get the ptt from RTS.
Do you know if sbitx main software has an analogous "ptt command" option, it could be very useful. If it is not present I can only run js8call with accessories...
Thanks
Carlo

I have been thinking on this and I have a basic design completed, but I need to think on it some more.? It would require you to solder a single wire to the board, but the rest would use existing headers.? But I don't have an external amp and I'm not sure what the requirement is.? I'm assuming you just want a 12v digital I/O that goes high on PTT.? I was planning on limiting current to ~10mA.? Let me know if that is something that would work for you.??

In practice, I use a module like the one in the photo with separation on the optocoupler and the command from the Q9 output


 

Consumption 4mA per order
