In this post I will briefly describe my build of an AllStarLink node. For this, I used the following parts:
|
|
|
|
* Baofeng 888s
|
|
* CM108 USB soundcard
|
|
* Raspberry Pi 4 + case
|
|
* two buck converters, configured 5V and 3,7V output voltage
|
|
* metal enclosure
|
|
* power poles + mounting plates
|
|
* ethernet jack
|
|
* [Waveshare LCD1602 RGB Module](https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/LCD1602_RGB_Module)
|
|
|
|
I will not go into great detail here since all modifications are described in other places. Please consult the following links:
