talKKonnect Gallery

I have posted some pictures of my man cave and the building of talKKonnect.

You can see that the unit has an LCD which is informative and give information such as

  • Display the IP and Port of the server connected
  • Display TX when Transmitting (Press the PTT Key on the Microphone)
  • Shows Name of amount of people in the channel joined
  • Shows last server event
  • Shows who last spoke
  • Shows any errors or warnings
  • Shows any received text messages

There are also channel UP/Down button both on the unit and on the microphone for the user to easily navigate through the channels.

There are a total of 4 LEDS

  • Shows that you are online
  • Shows that there are others logged into the same channel as you
  • Shows that the device is in PTT mode (Transmitting)
  • Shows that someone is speaking

There is also a volume knob on the bottom right of the unit for adjusting the volume.
