Does pi-star supports UDRC boards?

Jon 'klx started to write in support for the board last summer, i think it was completed and available with a "test" release of Dstarrepeater, but pistar uses only the release vers. of Jon's software.

Also, there's currently no 'template' available for the config using pistar, so even if the support is there in the software, you'll need to manually configure settings to use the udrc.

Futhur. The board went EOL last yr, and is no longer available from NW digital. Which might well end reasons of building in support for it. But, user demand is a powerful drive. If enough users want it.

Thanks. I knew that they came out with the new board (draws) and there are plenty of UDRC boards are still out there and pi-star is a great software and solid, and it’s great that they are working on adding that in there. It’s a great board and hoping to have it running soon
Thanks for the reply

I wish the G4KLX software in Pi-Star would currently support them, but I have 2 new ones available, one of which powers both the udrc-II and the RPi via 12V Anderson PP. If anyone is interested in a very useful board that is USD$40 cheaper than the DRAWS then PM me please by clicking the "Contact" button to the right..

I am running several UDRCII boards on repeaters and would love to upgrade to pi-star. Please help.

I've been running the compass and not pleased.
