<![CDATA[SIP Client]]>Hey Tinkerers.
Im trying to setup a SIP client on a "old" Onion Omega 1 (the first ones). Also i have a rotary dial also that i want to hook up. Now im looking for a way to achieve that. I have little to none electronic skills, neither programming :-).
I guess the rotary needs to get read out by a edge detection.
Bell ringing i guess can be done with a relais.
But i have no idea how to get a SIP client installed. Did some one Try that already?

since there is no DSP block to offload the burden.

ccs_hello

You need something to perform the voice compression for the codec suite used in VoIP/SIP.

P.S. MT7688 already has I2S audio I/O, even a hardware PCM module, so USB I/O is not even needed.
The key is something (not to present) has to do a real heavy duty job which is speech codec.

RPi family IMHO isn't price competitive. (Don't get me started on the real price of Zero and Zero W...)

My suggestion is to get a unlocked VoIP gizmo from fleabay for $10- $20 and call it a day.

But how do i get the dialed Numbers over the the host?
using Serial seams the usefullest.
I guess the Host will be Intel-NUC to be able to run a "good" OS on it and to have other capabilities as well.
Ideas to this new way to solve the problem?
