Bluetooth module for FT-817
Posted: Sat 2. Nov 2024, 01:11
I found a ready made Bluetooth module that plugs into the ACC port on my Yaesu FT-817. It came at a low price, so I bought it to try.
It is powered my the rig, and has a LED that flashes when plugged in. I can find it in the Adafruit Bluetooth Config app, as well as in the Mac Bluetooth dialog. However when I scan for it in RumlogNG, it is not found. Is there something I can do to get this module to work?
The ebay listing is here:
