Alan's Tuner Genius Auto Tune sweep flow

开云体育

Hi All,

?

Alan and I have been collaborating on his Tuner Genius Sweep flow and making good progress. We fixed a few math errors, the file save function and tweaking the HTML for the sweep results.

Here’s a screenshot of my 40 meter antenna auto tune with part of the band bypassed in the Tuner Genius setup.

?

When tuner is in circuit the bar is blue and the frequency, SWR, and tuner values are shown.

When tuner is bypassed the bars are green and frequency and SWR is shown, as well as BYPASS

?

The bottom SWR reference bar will adapt to the highest SWR automatically and the intervals will scale to proper values.

?

Feedback is welcomed!

Hi Bent

On the right side of the editor, select the Dashboard panel, "Layout" tab. ?With your curser on the group icon, you can drag it to move its position, on the tab.

Hi Garry

I think the easiest?way to get your radio into the flow would be to look for the HamLib flows.? ?When HamLib is used, it becomes the broker between the radio and NodeRed.??

When you use HamLib your only have to write one NodeRed application and it 'should' function on most HF radios.? In theory anyway.??

Does anyone have, or know if there are any, flows for the Yaesu FTDX101D/M series of radios or will this need a completely fresh build/flow to be created for remote operation? As I will be convalessing for some weeks in the near future this seems to be a good project to keep me occupied.

I have changed my serial port in Node-Red, Deployed and can see the menu in the UI.? I have teh tune rin Bypass, but whenever I press a button nothing happens.? I veried the Node-Red is taking ownership of the com port as well.? I am running windows 10.? I canchange teh com port in Node-Red and Open the LDG software and control the tuner without issue.?

I’m not sure what that is that you are seeing.?

The name bug and tweaking the HTML formatting for result window is the last things to do. We fixed where the three middle SWR reference points on bottom of chart were incorrect (Java script math error.).

The reset should set it back to 40 meters but I want to change it to require the user to manually select a band, which would set predetermined step (memories) for that band. I use 10 for most bands but smaller segments like 12, 17, and 30 can use 2 or three so I defaulted them to three.

I am going to do a new video showing how to check or set the link nodes that are needed between the flows as well as the operation of the flow and using the save and recall result function. In the new flow all the link nodes that need to be set of checked are in ?the to two sections and each link node is highlighted. I added a ReadMe First! comment node which contains instructions on checking the link nodes and what each should be connected to.

Last couple of weeks I was quite busy and have no plans this week except Thursday night. Going to see Brit Floyd, a Pink Floyd cover band that are excellent. They are playing local theater and got good seats. Hey, gotta have play time!

I noticed something that occurs sometimes in the sweep graph display.? See attached.

What does the button below reset default do?? Seems to be clickable, but nothing happens.? Also, freqs displayed usually don't match anything the flow is doing at the time.

Thanks Dave and Alan.

For now, look down in the section where the C1, L, and C2 are created. There is a TCP node which needs to be set to IP of Tuner Genius.?

I was on the phone with Alan and we made several changes, including eliminating that TCP node, changing the Flex nodes to links to my Flex flow and eliminating the MQTT and TCP nodes in TG XL connection area. Instead just use the link in & out nodes to the TG XL flows.?

I added a ReadMe First! comment node which explains the six link nodes which a user will need to verify are linked to four nodes in Flex flow and two nodes in Tuner Genius flow. I also made sure to highlight the six link nodes that need to be checked and I named them to make sense. For example FlexRadio Request Out on Tuner Sweeps flow connects to FlexRadio Request In on Flex Radio flow. So pretty easy to check or change them.?

Last, we found a few math errors which were displaying the SWR at bottom of graph incorrectly and we’re tweaking the HTML for the graph.?

There is one more bug to chase down tomorrow where flows with the default band, date and time name are not being saved. Typing in a new name does save.?

I think users will like the changes.?

Mick:

Spot on. The line in the package.json file was "@node-red-contrib-themes/theme-collection": "^2.2",? even though I had downloaded and installed v3.0.1, and even after repeating the install.

To fix I had to clean the npm cache first then reinstall v3.0.1
Now the aurora theme is dark like it should be.

I really appreciate your assistance.

Hi Chuck,

?

I got home from a road trip late yesterday then the Sussex hamfest today. Woke up a little while ago.

?

I need to load Alan’s latest flow then change the Link In and Link Out nodes in my Flex Radio, Tuner Genius, and Alan’s Sweep flows. I am renaming the link in and out nodes which may need manual connection.

As you have found based on your pictures, I started renaming nodes so I can include instructions on which link nodes need to be checked to ensure they are connected to other flows.

?

I plan to have this done sometime Monday (tomorrow ) morning. I will post a version 13 of my FlexRadio, Tuner Genius, and Tuner Sweep flows as a zipped package along with a readme file in the file section.

?

If you like and are available tomorrow (day or evening), reach out to me direct via email and I’ll send you my cell number. I’m good on QRZ. I can connect to you remotely and give you a hand if needed, but the v13 I should be uploading tomorrow will include instructions.

Hi--I cannot get the TG Sweep flow to connect with the TGXL flow.? The Flex dashboard makes all the TCP connections correctly.? I must be overlooking something basic. The C1/L/C2 does not update on the Sweep dashboard or the band frequencies below "Reset Defaults".? Flow indicates connecting, but never connected.? See attached for setup of links.? I'm using the Tuner Sweep json file uploaded at 1353, 17-Jul.

Re: NR v3 released

#8325

Mark,

Couple of things to check / do...

1st.? Make sure your package.json file contains:

?"@node-red-contrib-themes/theme-collection": "^3.0.1",??

I suspect it does or none of the themes would work.??

2nd, you can clean the??npm cache folder with the following cmd:

npm cache clean --force

Make sure you have your flows backed up 1st.??

Mick:

I neglected to tell you that I had already installed the theme-collection. I reinstalled it just to be sure. But setting the editorTheme in settings.js to "aurora" still did not result in a dark theme.

I tried all of the themes available on
The following themes were dark:
dark, dracula, midnight-red, oled, solarized-dark.

All of the rest were light.

I left it set at "dark"; it looks fine. "dracula" isn't bad either. But no luck with "aurora".

Thanks for showing me where the setting was for the codeEditor. So that's solved.

I really appreciate your help.

The editor theme is not the same as the Monaco theme.? ?To install the editor theme go to:

Install the collection from your node-red dir.? See cmd below:

npm install @node-red-contrib-themes/theme-collection

Change settings.js to:

editorTheme: {

? ? ? ? /** The following property can be used to set a custom theme for the editor.

? ? ? ? ?* See https://github.com/node-red-contrib-themes/theme-collection for

? ? ? ? ?* a collection of themes to chose from.

? ? ? ? ?*/

? ? ? ? theme: "aurora",

? ? ? ? palette: {

? ? ? ? ? ? /** The following property can be used to order the categories in the editor

? ? ? ? ? ? ?* palette. If a node's category is not in the list, the category will get

? ? ? ? ? ? ?* added to the end of the palette.

? ? ? ? ? ? ?* If not set, the following default order is used:

? ? ? ? ? ? ?*/

? ? ? ? ? ? //categories: ['subflows', 'common', 'function', 'network', 'sequence', 'parser', 'storage'],

? ? ? ? },

then re start node-red.??

To change the Monaco theme change your settings. js to:

codeEditor: {

? ? ? ? ? ? /** Select the text editor component used by the editor.

? ? ? ? ? ? ?* Defaults to "ace", but can be set to "ace" or "monaco"

? ? ? ? ? ? ?*/

? ? ? ? ? ? lib: "monaco",

? ? ? ? ? ? options: {

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? /** The follow options only apply if the editor is set to "monaco"

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?*

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?* theme - must match the file name of a theme in

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?* packages/node_modules/@node-red/editor-client/src/vendor/monaco/dist/theme

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?* e.g. "tomorrow-night", "upstream-sunburst", "github", "my-theme"

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?*/

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? theme: "blackboard",

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? /** other overrides can be set e.g. fontSize, fontFamily, fontLigatures etc.

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?* for the full list, see https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/api/interfaces/monaco.ed

Re: NR v3 released

#8322

Mick:

I like the settings you chose for the editors! I'm a big fan of dark themes. I tried doing this and got mostly the same results but not quite. Could you help me get the missing steps completed?

So far I have done this:

Updated Node Red to v3
Updated npm to v8.14.0, updated node to v16.16.0
Updated all Palete nodes used in my flows to their latest versions
Edited the codeEditor setting in ~/.node-red/settings.js to specify lib: "monaco", theme: "github"
Edited the editorTheme setting in ~/.node-red/settings.js to specify theme: "dark"

Here's what I see:

The Monaco editor looks exactly like the first picture you posted on your July 16 post #8316, so that's working.
The Node-RED editor looks mostly like your second picture when I use "dark" as the editorTheme setting.
But the editor has a light theme if I use "aurora" or "Aurora" as the editorTheme setting. So that's not working the same as yours.

Questions:
1. What did you do to get what's shown on your second picture?
2. How did you set the "blackboard" theme for the Monaco editor as shown on your third picture; post #8318?

Thank you,
