Remotely changing talk groups

 

Does anyone know if the following is possible on M17?
If one uses DVSwitch, you can, via a cron job change the mode, talk group etc.
I use the M17 Reflector and USRP-gateway.
Anything similar???
Thank you and Happy Holidays!
 

May vary by the radio... and how you enter stuff.. but it was explained to me (and I tested, it worked):

Radio: CSI 7000 Plus
Hotspot: Generic Pi 4 w/ MMDVM Hat running 1.6.1 firmware and the latest WPSD Release?

1) Press the _ (underscore? key in lower right on the keyboard) to select your # target on the screen
2) Enter the reflector name and room via the number keys (e.g. M17-OKL A)? * NOTE: space character before the room letter?
3) Press OK key

... give the hotspot a few seconds to link to the new reflector... and you should be connected and can transmit?

Thank you, but I think you misunderstood.

When I said a "cron job", it is the scheduling program on Linux Servers.
?
So, if there is a NET on M17-xxx @15:30UTC, I can program my server, where the Reflector/USRP software is running to make the change.
?
For example, in DVSwitch:
./dvswitch.sh mode (DMR|YSF|P25|NXDN)
./dvswitch.sh tune {Talk Group number)
?
So, if every 1/2 hour I say with DMR, I just change TG.? If at 1, 3 & 5PM I run a YSF talk group, I change the Mode and Talk Group and then change back to DMR..

I happen to have the M17 linked to my ALLSTAR, which has DMR, YSF, NXDN, P25, HOIP, Echolink and M17 linked together...??
?
Thanks again!
 

Whoops, yes I missed that part - reading/replying on my phone...? looking at the code for dvswitch.sh on github it looks like it's mostly implemented by reading a .ini Config file and then starting services or sending remote commands... it might be possible to put together those same commands by hand and drop them into a crontab entry but I don't see anything specific about passing in a reflector, just setting modes that tie to what's in the ini ...? it might be accomplished by using distinct .ini files and sym-linking them to the one with the mode and reflector info you want at the time then restarting the service?

Not a problem Neal, happens to us all.
?
I was thinking about that... Could create multiple services tied to a different "ini" file, assuming there were Nets I wanted to link to...
?
In the short-term less work, in the long-term a project for the coding enthusiast to take on (which isn't me :) ).
?
Thanks and Happy New Year!
