Three ways to connect. One complete appliance.Arduino UNO Q with ASL3 at its core.
One compact build brings together ASL3, the UNO Q’s built-in LED matrix, an AllScan UCI145 or UCI150, a USB rotary macro controller, DTMF microphone control, and the documentation needed to build it again from a clean factory reflash.
PLATFORMArduino UNO Q · 4 GB
OPERATING SYSTEMDebian 13 ARM64 · Linux 7.0
RADIO INTERFACEAllScan UCI145 / UCI150
CLASSIFICATIONCompleted radioless AllStarLink appliance
The proof became an appliance
A radio node can become a complete operating surface.
The finished UNO Q combines a working AllStarLink node with visual status, three connection methods, physical controls, operating-safety timers, spoken confirmation, and unattended reboot recovery.
The complete operating station
Seven pieces turn the UNO Q into a friendly, self-contained AllStarLink appliance.
The board, clear case, UCI145, macro controller, DTMF microphone, communications speaker, and USB-C hub each have a clear job in the finished station.
The 4 GB Arduino UNO Q
The ARM64 Linux computer, microcontroller, wireless networking, familiar headers, and built-in LED matrix share one unusually capable board.
Protected without hiding the project
The clear enclosure protects the working board while leaving its LED matrix, controls, connectors, and activity visible.
AllScan UCI145 audio and control
The UCI145 provides the microphone input, receive audio, speaker and line outputs, PTT/COS handling, USB audio, and useful front-panel status indicators.
One-touch favorites and rotary selection
Three illuminated keys and the rotary control provide a tactile way to select favorite stations, connect, and disconnect without opening a browser.
Direct DTMF dialing from the microphone
The Alinco EMS-79 adds the familiar radio-operator method: enter an AllStar node number directly on the microphone keypad.
Clear, purpose-built receive audio
A compact communications speaker completes the desk-side appliance and keeps AllStar audio clear and easy to hear.
The connections that tie it together
The USB-C hub adds wired Ethernet and the USB ports needed for the communications interface and operator controls.
Three ways to connect
Use the screen, turn the dial, or key the number.
The operator is never locked into one control method. Each path reaches the same ASL3 node, so the best choice can change with the moment—or with the operator.
Macro keypad & dial
Select favorites with the rotary control, then use the illuminated buttons for fast connect and disconnect commands.
DTMF microphone
Dial an AllStar node directly from the Alinco EMS-79 keypad—a familiar radio-style control that needs no browser at all.
Project overview
Arduino UNO Q
What began as a proof of concept is now a complete radioless AllStarLink appliance: visual status and timers, three practical ways to connect, spoken confirmation, automatic recovery, and a repeatable guided installation.
FULL DUPLEX
Transmit and receive at the same time.
The USB communications interface supports simultaneous transmit and receive operation, making this a true full-duplex AllStarLink node—not merely a conventional simplex hotspot.
What was proven
- Guided installation proven from a clean factory reflash
- Registration, linking, PTT/COS, audio, and parrot tests passed
- LED matrix displays TX, RX, idle heartbeat, and operating timers
- USB macro keypad and rotary station selection operate as designed
- Direct AllStar connections work from the DTMF microphone
- Spoken connect/disconnect confirmation and unattended reboot recovery verified
What the project includes
- Guided installer script
- Illustrated installation manual and operating user manual
- ASL3 radioless node configuration
- LED matrix traffic status and safety timers
- USB macro keypad and rotary control support
- AllScan UCI145/UCI150 and DTMF microphone operation
- Automatic service restoration after reboot
Known limitations
Documented—not hidden.
- The installer was prepared and proven on the 4 GB Arduino UNO Q
- The UCI interface, microphone, speaker, USB hub, case, and macro controller are separate hardware purchases
- A future version is planned to provide friendly operator maintenance of favorite-station tables
