Try reinstalling the mysqlXX-client package from ports.

‘192.168.1.1/grandstream’ – note there is no protocol.  Only use a protocol for HTTP or HTTPS.

Then, run the tool. The syntax looks like this:

/Applications/VMware\ OVF\ Tool/ovftool --acceptAllEulas /path/to/file.ovf /Users/username/Documents/Virtual\ Machines.localized/vmname.vmwarevm/vmname.vmx

If you see errors about virtual hardware not being supported, you can add the –lax parameter to the command line.

svn update
svn merge -r 756:742 .
svn commit -m "Rolled back to previous commit (r742)"

Install cups via ports, I selected both Python and Perl bindings, and Avahi for advertisement (since we’ll be using Avahi to advertise the services anyway):

portmaster -dbH print/cups print/hplip

After going through the various package configurations, grab a cup of coffee because there are many dependencies to install.

Enable cups:

sysrc cupsd_enable=YES

Set up cupsd.conf.  Note that this isn’t the most secure configuration, if this system is on the internet, please make adjustments accordingly.

SystemGroup sys root
# Allow remote access

DefaultAuthType Basic

  # Allow remote access...
  Order allow,deny
  Allow all




  AuthType Basic
  Require user @SYSTEM

Start cups:

service cupsd start

Head over to http://[IP]:631 and set up your printer.  This varies by printer, so I’ll leave this up to you.  Make sure to print a test page to ensure that cups itself is working.

Next, let’s add the needed AirPrint MIME types:

echo "image/urf urf string(0,UNIRAST<00>)" > /usr/local/share/cups/mime/airprint.types
echo "image/urf application/vnd.cups-postscript 66 pdftops" > /usr/local/share/cups/mime/airprint.convs

All that’s left to do now is add the actual services to Avahi.  We’re going to run a Python script that does this, but first, I had to add the cups package to Python manually.  You may not need to do this:

CPATH=/usr/local/include pip install pycups

Download airprint-generate.py:

fetch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tjfontaine/airprint-generate/master/airprint-generate.py

I modified airprint-generate.py based on a forum post, I am not sure if this is needed, but it doesn’t appear to hurt: In the section setting ‘DOCUMENT_TYPES’, add a new line just under “‘application/postscript’: True,” that says “‘application/vnd.cups-postscript’: True”.

Next, run it:

python airprint-generate.py

This will create a .service file in the current directory for each of the printers you have set up in CUPS.  Put these service files into the Avahi service directory:

mv *.service /usr/local/etc/avahi/services

Finally, restart avahi-daemon:

service avahi-daemon restart

At this point,  you should be able to AirPrint from your iOS devices.

You may need to restart processes after this – I restarted both syslogd and Apache in the jail.

So, I went to my local Micro Center and grabbed the Inland Uno Learning Kit – it came with a bunch of stuff, but I was mostly interested in the Arduino board, breadboard and jumper wires.

A basic repeater controller only needs to do a few things:

• Key up the transmit radio when the receive radio is receiving
• Route the receive audio to the transmit radio
• Send an ID at least once every ten minutes during a conversation.

And that’s really it.  Sure, you can have more advanced features, like DTMF decoding for functions like turning the repeater on and off, hang timers, courtesy tones, the list goes on.  I am going to start with only the most basic functionality.

To test, I will be using Motorola Maxtrac radios.  They are cheap, readily available, and many have a 16-pin connector on the back that can provide all the connections I’ll need.

Let’s get started.  For Part 1, I will only be connecting a transmit radio – I will use a simple push button for COR input – so I will only need:

For now, the only connections I will be using are:

• Push-to-Talk output – pulled to ground when the transmitter needs to transmit – Pin 2
• COR input (which gets pulled to ground when the receive radio is receiving) – Pin 3
• Morse Code ID Output – Pin 4

That’s it for now.  I will get to audio mixing in a later post – we will eventually need to mix the receive audio in with the morse code ID audio.

To fix it, I just changed the number of CPUs to 2, and it booted right up.  Other documents I’ve seen have indicated that you need to increase the video memory.  I did not need to do that, but it would probably help with performance.
