Re: File /!1! Flows by Type/RADIOS/HRD_ve9gfi_2022.06.08.2130.json updated #file-notice

 

I moved the VFO indicator back to the RF Exciter section.? ? It was inadvertently moved to the RF output tank section of the amplifier dashboard.

Hi Adrian,

I see your S meter looks different than mine.? ?I used the chart dashboard icon with the Horizontal Bar.... are you using the same, or another one???

Hi Alan

For those of us who do not use the internal EQ, it is fine to run the level up to zero, but not exceed zero.?

I suggest having blue -40 to -10, green -10 to -5, yellow -5 to 0, and red above zero.?

That way if using the internal EQ people can set level to end of green. For those not using internal EQ or for digital modes set to end of yellow (right at zero without exceeding )

On my Flex flow the mic meter does not change color but I added a peak indicator that is normally green but will change to red if any part of audio exceeds zero.?

Also note - the mic meter is only available for mics connected direct to radio. Any other internal audio meters are after a clipper stage.?

Hi Adrian,

Yes - I didn't touch anything on the "get" side yesterday because I had to solve the issue of the output text type, so that the drop down menu would match properly.
I just noticed the issue you see with the dropdown and I added a RBE node.? ?

Moving on the sliders, etc.? ? I need to rethink how my Carousel works because it was written to query my Yaesu FT 847 for the amplifier project.? ? ?In that carousel, you are doing some queries that your radio doesn't understand (the satellite specific ones) and my radio doesn't have the getsliders option.? ? ? I have an hour from home this weekend, so I can't change the connected radio back to the FT-2000 Demo model, but I'll try to wing it.

I'll add the S meter now.

?

Re: Permissions question...

 

Many thanks to Adrian! He sshed into my machine, (spending a large number of hours), and corrected the install issues. Actually he reinstalled node-red totally via npm, and that corrected all the permission issues I was having... All works now!

I can at last read files via node-red!

MANY THANK Adrian!! You are a gentlemen and a scholar... As I said via email, if you were closer I'd buy you a beer or two... If you ever get up this way, please look me up and collect on that offer!

Hi Adrian,

dcole is the primary user setup with Ubuntu when it was installed via a net install script.? Running 20.04 now.? Fully updated, etc.

Now that I have thrown what is probably a lot of useless data in the hopes something may help, do you see anything I did wrong ion the install?

For reference, the install process was as follows:

1.? From Ubuntu's software installer, I selected Node Red, and installed it.

2.? I began writing flows...

3.? No other issues until now...

I have flows reading web pages, and showing results, etc...? Some of them parse the pages, only issues are reading local files so far...

Hi Adrian,

?

Try out the new flow.? ?I had to fix the way the HRD response was stored ... not entirely certain I'm doing this the best way, but the UTF16LE vs ASCII issue was preventing the Switch node from finding the "equals" part to set the Mode setting dropdown list.

It seems to work fine for me now.? ?Please give it a try.
