Looking good Alan! Some day I have to make my dashboard look better. Been playing with adding the Power Master II watt meter and found I needed to wrap the USB cable from meter to Pi around a 2 inch type J core about 6 times to kill RF getting into the USB cable. Without the ferrite it would not send data while transmitting when QRO. Now it works fine.

?

Hopefully have a decent flow done either later today or tomorrow morning. Have a laptop I am working on for a good friend that needs “degunking” and memory and SSD upgrade.

?

This is all in between doing beta testing on a new nigh end game coming out later this year.

?

Who says you have nothing to do when retired?

The Microphone Level Meter Flow on the io group file is generic to any radio. ?Just add your dBm input.

Using the generic flow, I have customized it to integrate with my Flex. ?Here are my custom features. ?Contact me off-list if you have a Flex and want a copy.

- DAX on/off changes the gauge mask, black/yellow.

- The Microphone Level set-point is shown in the bottom bar with a black "tick mark."

- Clicking on the bottom bar will adjust the microphone level set-point.

Power Master II watt meter flow

#8040

开云体育

Hi All,

?

Making progress with the Array Solutions Power Master II watt meter flow. Currently shows FWD, Ref, SWR, Hi pwr alarm, Hi SWR alarm, and a clear alarm (which I am going to change to Reset).

Node Red receives data over 38.4k USB to serial connection at 48 ms rate. Currently I have the meter set to Long for power display so it holds peak power a little longer. I can add controls to change meter display, which I will do before publishing the flow.

?

Here’s a short video of it in action. Poor video quality but you will get the idea.

Hi Nick

Thanks for giving the Microphone Level Gauge a try.

I used the MQTT node to input the dBm level into the gauge flow. ?You need to set up your way to getting the gauge's input.

As I recall, you are using my meter flow. ?So....suggest you set up "Link" nodes to move the input to the meter. ?Here is mine, where I use the MQTT node. ?Replace that with a Link out Node. ? ?Then add a link in the node on the meter flow, and connect up the links.

Also, on the meter flow are Inject Nodes, which you can use to test your installation. ??

And, as a reminder, be sure to make your dashboard element size 6 wide and 2 high.

Hi Alan?

I tried the flow, but the connection is not playing well .?

Mqtt node , I added my IP address and port .?

I used the flex discovery node information But no connection.?

?I will ?give another try this evening:)?

I revised the Microphone Level meter to use environmental variables to set the color ranges.

Also, note.....this is NOT a Flex-specific flow. ?My SVG meter flows will work with any valid dBm value msg.payload.

Dave, I used your suggested values. ?

Below is how to change environmental values. ? First double click on the Flow tab, then make the changes. ?Save, Deploy.

The upper meter bar will change colors per the dBm settings. ?The lower blue, green, yellow, and red bars, will rescale to the new settings. ?If the Red dBm value is greater than 0 dBm, the red bar will not show on the bottom (because it is above the zero maximum scales of the meter, but, the upper bar will turn red if the dBm value exceeds the red range.

Thanks, Dave

Good suggestion. I also do not use the Flex EQ, so now I know how to run my Mic gain up.

I can add easy-to-change, environmental variables for the color ranges if there is enough interest. ?It will take some work because I also need to dynamically rescale the colors in the lower bar. ? Is there interest out there?

Otherwise, for the more experienced, the color ranges are in the "Configuration" function:

And.....you can adjust the "x" position and "width" for the blue, green, and red bars using the "SVG" tab on the SVG Node,?for each of the three rectangles, in the "lower bar" group:

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.

?
