Direwolf via Pi on Yaesu FACETIME-2600 #rpi4b


 
Edited

Sorry for the FACETIME in the title, stupid autocorrect changed FT to FACETIME

Is there any way to connect the Raspbery Pi/Direwolf to a radio like the FT-2600m?

?




 

The direct answer is YES, but somewhat complicated.
If you think of Direwolf as the TNC, you would think of the 3 key connections between radio and computer as:
1. Data In (from radio speaker, or RX audio out to TNC)
2. Data Out (to radio MIC, or TX audio in from TNC)
3. PTT

The first 2 would be radio to sound card (should be somewhat clear).
The third is the more difficult part as it typically requires a little extra wiring.?
The options are:
a) Use one of the Pi GPIO pins and GPIO ground to trigger the radio PTT
b) Use one of the sound card GPIO pins and GPIO ground to trigger the radio PTT
??? If your sound card is suported
c) If the FT2600 has VOX => not reliable or recommended for most applications

NOTE: for a & b, a transistor or opto-isolator is advised to actually key the radio side

You'll want an audio board, FET and resistor, and you can hookup your dual-bander
to a Pi running Direwolf:

The documentation contains many examples of interfacing to a radio.



When using a Raspberry Pi, you would probably want to start with:
