External speaker not curently supported

Post by VK3KYY » Wed Feb 14, 2024 10:53 am

Just a note that in the current Alpha verison the external speaker connections don't seem to work.

I've bought a RT-82 external speaker mic adaptor, which I ordered from AliExpress

And I just tested it with the official firmware, and it seems to work, albeit with some strange effects, but it does not work with the OpenGD77 firmware yet.

When I plug a normal speaker mic into the adaptor, the official firmware makes some beeps, which indicates it has detected the external speaker mic.

I dissassembled the adaptor and there is a small PCB with various components including a transistor.

I presume that there is a sense input into the STM32 MCU from the connector, but at the moment I don't know whether this is correct or which pin is the input, and I don't know how to switch the audio amplifier output to the external speaker connection
