is there a trick to set a gpio pin, to kick off a raspberry pi running wsprry from wsjtx? ( or even a $3 esp8266?)
just the kick off the TX ( pi will handle a T/R relay to short the sdr and flip the 11 mw to the antenna. )
I see the rigctld PTT interface. we need no frequency, just the start signal.

We are delivering 6 little $7 beacons to STEM schools along the 50 miles from Marconi's 300,000 watt TX station to his RX station in Chatam, with local hams. A method like this will allow us to kick this off while running an sdr gqrx and wsjtx on a school library PC with the antenna duct taped to the library window.

Thanks, I have a dozen of a sister board, 4 wires to a si5351, then lpf and 20m dipole and I have a$9 11 mw beacon.
If we can set 3.3 v to any gpio, from Hamlib I can beautifully trigger from there. And do a t/r transition from my sdr. Neat!<caret></caret>
Thank you for your help.

I run wsjtx latest, and Garcia with an air spy discovery hf+ and have receive and bandhopping mastered o a raspberry pi 4.
I am hoping to get wsjtx (hamlib, rigctl) turn a gpio pin on, and control a second pi 3B+ to start a wspr transmission when it sees the gpio pin go high.
It runs perfectly by time from ntp.
I will start with two 20m dipoles 100’ apart, later a t/r switch and a single 2 element wire yagi in the garage attic.
I am hoping this was an early feature of hamlib and I am simply not seeing it in the amazing work that has been done.

If you have a recent hamlib after July 26 this year I did add some GPIO commands but they haven't been tested on an RPi
From rigctle.g.set_gpio GPIO2 1set_gpio GPIO2 0get_gpio GPIO2
Can you test that?

Are you talking about setting the gpio from the Raspberry PI?Or where exactly would hamlib be running?

will do, thank you. I will add a push button and an led...... tnx

I ordered these
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RNX3W9J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
Supposed to be here tomorrow so I'll see about getting them hooked into hamlib for gpio control.
