Allstar Node Progress


 

I've been building my first Allstar node using an RPi4B, CM-108 fob, and a BF-888 (clone) so I thought I'd post a picture of where I'm at. Since this is my first attempt, I literally built it on a breadboard so I have easy access. Still having trouble getting a single 5V supply to power both the Pi and the HT. When I tried using the 5V 3A convertor shown I kept getting "Low Voltage" warnings from the Pi. Right now I'm dropping the 5.1V converter output using two diodes for the HT and using an "official" Pi 5.1V power module. I looked at using buck converters but I didn't like what i read about some dangerous things with the output voltage if the input happens to drop below spec. My next step is install Hamvoip. Wish me luck...73 - Scott/KK6DZ
