By: Alan Blind, WA9WUD

Description:
Per the request of ScottW5WZ, I put together an Array Solutions Stack Match Flow based on the logic he provided. Outputs four GPIO driven relays to operate the Array Solutions device. I added status feedback from the relays with logic to change the background color of the selected button.

I added additional logic functions to change the selected button color. ?The file has been uploaded to the file section.

Done. ?Copy and Import this flow. ?

And also use Tailscale to make it even more secure.

It is pretty easy. 4 relays and just program the combos you want.

no, but I will put something together. ? Stand by

You can update the settings.js to have an encrypted password. I don’t have a link but found the instructions by googling something like hot to secure node-red. There are commented out lines in the file.?

I'd like to know how to secure my RasPi / NodeRode so that accessing it from the WAN is not risky.

Group,

I have been getting a ton of good info from this group, Youtube, online etc.? I am to the point where I have everything installed, and I have played with node-red and FRstack enough to be able to send REST commands to my 6400, and I have created a simple dashboard.? I wanted to get to this point where I felt like I had a decent understanding of what is going on under the hood before I asked to borrow someone else's work.

So, if you were in my place, which flow would you suggest I import to get a leap from where I am today (see pic), to a more featured dashboard / control for just my 6400?

Thanks in advance!

Andy K7AMB

Thank you Alan!? I was struggling with this last night too!? Never considered the IP of the Node-Red machine to be needed in PSTRotator UDP Control setup!

I am going to set up something for this Wednesday at 8 p.m. Eastern U.S. That is 1 a.m. Zulu.?

Dave, any update on the Zoom? I have a zoom acccount you can use if needed.

I am successfully running NodeRED with my Flex 6500, a network switch, thermometer… I installed the SteppIR scripts from the NodeRED Ham WiKi and I would appreciate some help with the SteppIR flow.

My BigIR and SDA2000 are connected to the Flex using the SteppIR S12 serial cable and an FTDI USB adapter to the controller OUT connector. The NodeRED SteppIR dashboard tracks the Flex frequency but the 'connect to antenna’ and other buttons do nothing. The antenna type is displayed as ‘beam’ (the antenna type in the controller is BigIR). I don’t know whether the flow is actually talking to the SteppIR or simply getting some info from the Flex.

I set a debug on the message payload in the SteppIR flow and the results are provided below.

1/24/2021, 9:35:10 AM msg.payload : Object object IsReceivingStatus: false OpenBtnStr: "Connect to Antenna" OpenStr: "Closed" OpenStateStr: "Disconnected" IsFrstackTrackManual: false IsFrstackTrackManualStr: "" IsValid: false IsValidNoCat: false StepVersion: null StepDir: 0 StepDirStr: "" StepFreq: 0 SliceFreq: 7019900 DispStepFreq: "" DispSliceFreq: "7.020" Autotrack: false TxInhibit: false AntState: 0 AntStateStr: "" FollowAnt: 0 FollowAntStr: "TX Slice" IsBeam: true BeamVertStr: “Beam"

I would greatly appreciate any direction from someone who has this working. Have I missed something?

Thanks, Ron K2RAS

Ok, that explains it. My pi's are running norwegian locale and the radio server english. Good to be aware of as i move flows between them.

One other question, Is it possible to read radio memories via the api?

开云体育

I plan to show some of the ways I get the data I want. I just finished a flow to show SO2R status using broadcast packets from N1MM+. It too a little thinking to get the TX indication to display for the proper radio.

For the more advanced items, I'd throw in some common functions code you might want have in your back pocket to manipulate strings or numbers.

Some of the functions I've looked up in the past and have used are;

toString();
parseFloat();
subStr();

Just a thought.
