Re: Indoor positioning system using Rpi as AP

You haven't said what sort of accuracy you require and what area you need to cover. Wi-Fi signal strength within a building is affected by other factors in addition to distance so triangulation based on relative signal strength is not entirely reliable. And even if you had a very directional antenna...

Re: Does GPIO out set to LOW act as ground

A GPIO output set to LOW acts a a "weak ground" just as a GPIO output set to HIGH acts as a "weak 3.3 volts". Weak meaning "can sink/source a small current", not as much as a "real" ground or 3.3 volts. So, yes if you connect a LED (plus series resistor) between a GPIO output set HIGH and another GP...

 I'm assuming you mean on the PP test points on the PCB, not the GPIO pins.
But even if they are on PP test points what would be the benefit of soldering to those over soldering to the pads of the PCB where the USB socket pins are?

(And yes, the USB D+ and D- are not on GPIO pins.)

Possibly but be aware that the RPi + relay will need power. That makes a drop-in replacement on the existing two wires more "challenging".

 Can you power a Raspberry Pi with the usual power source with a PoE board installed or will it cause problems to have a PoE and not use it?
This was a 4 year old thread. Long before the RaspberryPi 3B+ and the suitable RaspberryPi PoE HAT existed. Are you asking about that combination?

Re: RasPBX- How to?

Are you certain that your telephone service provider does not have Call Diversion? That is done in the telephone network before the call is sent over analogue or VoIP. Usually it can be configured by dialling certain key sequences. For example BT in the UK, *21*(phone number you want to divert to)# ...

There is no English manual for the C430A GO. It may be similar to the 580A GO. https://gse.gigaset.com/fileadmin/gigas ... _IE-UK.pdf page 34 has information about Call Divert.

Asterisk/FreePBX is not a 10 minute learning exercise. :( What VoIP provider are you currently using?

No. Software cannot do that. RPi hardware cannot do that.

Your photo is proof that the cable does NOT electrically match any of the ones that are suitable for use with the TRRS socket on a RPi.
