MMDVMHost-Private/README.md

1.5 KiB

These are the source files for building the MMDVMHost, the program that interfaces to the MMDVM or DVMega on the one side, and a suitable network on the other. It supports D-Star, DMR, P25 Phase 1, and System Fusion.

On the D-Star side the MMDVMHost interfaces with the ircDDB Gateway, on DMR it can connect to BrandMeister, DMR+, or HB Link, on System Fusion it connects to the YSF Gateway. On P25 it connects to the P25 Gateway.

It builds on 32-bit and 64-bit Linux as well as on Windows using VS2015 on x86 and x64. It can optionally control various Displays. Currently these are:

  • HD44780 (sizes 2x16, 2x40, 4x16, 4x20)
    • Support for HD44780 via 4 bit GPIO connection (user selectable pins)
    • Adafruit 16x2 LCD+Keypad Kits (I2C)
    • Connection via PCF8574 GPIO Extender (I2C)
  • Nextion TFTs (sizes 2.4", 2.8", 3.2" and 3.5")
  • TFT display sold by Hobbytronics in UK
  • OLED 128x64 (SSD1306)

The Nextion displays can connect to the UART on the Raspberry Pi, or via a USB to TTL serial converter like the FT-232RL. It may also be connected to the UART output of the MMDVM modem (Arduino Due, STM32, Teensy), or to the UART output on the UMP.

The HD44780 displays are integrated with wiringPi for Raspberry Pi based platforms.

The Hobbytronics TFT Display, which is a Pi-Hat, connects to the UART on the Raspbery Pi.

The OLED display needs a extra library see OLED.md
