Baofeng/BBB Interface

This is an interface I designed to work with a Baofeng without having to modify the radio for COS. I have left a copy of the schematic for now down below.

My interface is fully functional if I am at home using it on my same LAN. I am currently still trying to get this to work though a HotSpot from Remote locations. I am still currently testing this. Once I have the code fixed and everything working I will update this site.

References that I used for my project...

This is an excellent source to this project or any project for Allstar on the Beaglebone or RaspPi2.

This is a good source for setting up wireless on the Beaglebone.

Used to Power BeagleBone Black and also used for an external Phone/HotSpot charging port on the outside of the box. You will want to use one of these to be able power the BeagleBone. This is why I suggest a 12V/2amp Power Supply or more.
