Re: Radio power control

 

You are request the same feature as the Power Control feature.
As If I am reading the Argent Data manual, the feature needs to:
?? a) Activate a GPIO Power Control pin (to power up the radio)
?? ? ? Argent Data unit has a switch to active low, so GPIO = -3
?? b) Wait a specified number of seconds - so this needs to be before the TX section.
?? c) Then run normal TX function
?? d) De-Activate GPIO Power Control pin

Of course this would be a tracker feature because there woiuld be no decode while the radio is OFF.

Fred,
What are you running Direwolf on?

If it's a pi, you could use the GPIO and a relay to handle the radio power.??
Probably could be done with about any system.?

Greetings,

?

I am looking to power up a radio, send a packet, shutdown radio. I had this function on the ArgentData trackers.

?

I am not seeing a reference to this option in the documentation but then I have missed the obvious before.

Thanks!

Best regards,
