TX/RX footswitch

[G8VLR]

Hi all,

I'd like to use a footswitch with my Adalm Pluto on QO100 for tx/rx switching. Is it feasible and if so how?

Thanks and regards,

Roger. (G8VLR)

Hi Roger

Easiest option appears to be wire the footswitch to a serial interface adapter to USB:

See attached PDF from GU6EFB.

Uses cheap FTDI interface:

Oh blimey...... me again. Not that interface because you need the one with the solder holes down the sides. There are loads on eBay. Not genuine FTDI this time but I doubt it matters for this purpose. Looks like Keith used this one:

NP Roger. Be interested to now if you do purchase one of those "clone" boards from eBay if it installs OK on Windows. I assume it does or they would not have sold so many!

Good luck & 73
