GPIO input to change Ryde F type input

Post by g8lce » Sat Nov 15, 2025 4:24 pm

Is there any chance of a version of Ryde software where a GPIO input could switch the frequency and input F type so that a repeater controller could switch between frequencies and aerials? This would allow a repeater to experiment with different frequency inputs without a great expence or modification. For example on GB3NQ we have 2m, 70cms, 23cms, Oscar 100 and a stream input. As an experiment one of these inputs could switch between say Oscar 100 and 71Mhz or 13cm etc. at certain times. If the experiment worked then another Ryde etc. could then be built.

I am wondering if the Ryde GPIO pins PWM0 and PWM1 are inputs or outputs and weather they will be working? The wiki says 'Note that Band GPIO setting does not have any effect yet.'
If they were inputs to control the band selection this would answer my idea to control an experiment input to a repeater. Looking into the Ryde manual the idea could use the 8 way switch controller as well which opens another door for experimentation!
