Title: Disabling/Enabling Radio-RRC
Post by: K6DGW on 2016-09-18, 02:07:00
RRC-1258 MK2:  I need a way to disable/enable the radio RRC from a PIC controller.  The method we're considering is:

Route the 12VDC power through a PIC-controlled relay, simply powering up the RRC to enable it.  Doing this, there is a short delay while the RRC boots up and establishes the Ethernet connection.  Using this approach, I would need to know when that is completed. 

Q: Is there a signal on one of the connectors [e.g. I/O on the back] that will indicate that the deadstart is complete?
