Re: Interest in Zoom presentation on loading nodes, flows and dashboard customizations?
开云体育Hi Dave, ? Welcome aboard! ? I am doing a 1 hour Zoom presentation tomorrow night on exactly what you are asking. I am going to load a new Raspberry Pi 4 following the WiKi before the presentation then go through the steps to load necessary nodes, Flex Radio flows, and show how to access and customize the dashboard. ? The Zoom meeting will be at 01:00 GMT (UTC) Thursday, which is 8 p.m. Eastern US Wednesday. I know it is late for you so I will be recording the presentation and get it uploaded to YouTube. I have sent the Zoom link in a separate email. ? 73 Dave wo2x ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Dave Spencer

Node Red Training - Getting Started After Loading Your Raspberry Pi
Hi all, ?I am going to host a 1 hour Zoom meeting tomorrow night, Wednesday January 27th at 8 p.m. Eastern U.S.???(That is 01:00 GMT January 28th)??I am going to cover what the next steps are after loading the Raspberry Pi with an operating system, Node Red, and FRStack. This will include: - how to load additional nodes
- loading flows
- accessing dashboard
- customizing the dashboard
? This is limited to 100 members but I will be recording the presentation for members to be able to watch at a later date. ?Here is the link. ? ? 73 Dave wo2x ?

Re: Help with Modified MKCM SPE Amp.json
Success!
And success using the USB cable! The secret sauce was making sure that the "SPEComPort" setting had the complete device path! I don't know why that was so difficult, but thanks for everyone who helped. Now it's time to see if I can get fancy! Scott,?W5NJK |

Re: Added Folder /Array Solutions Stack Match With REST Commands

No Stream Deck here!? No big deal.? Curious as to what led to that conclusion?

Re: Array Solutions Stack Match ?
Alan,
Wow!? That's going above and beyond!? I have only taken a quick look at it, and only see a minor issue.? It appears that once the AUX is turned on (Green) that there is no way to turn it off.? Granted, I'm only playing with it via the dashboard (and I'm operating my shack PC remotely, so there is no hardware, other the the RasPi connected). --Scott, W5WZ |

Re: Help with Modified MKCM SPE Amp.json
开云体育yes that's correct.? I did sudo reboot not shutdown (but will have tried that by the time you read this :D ) Scott On 1/25/2021 12:23 PM, David De Coons

Re: Help with Modified MKCM SPE Amp.json
开云体育OK, with USB cable plugged into the PC the Windows version works. ? Next, to confirm, you did move the USB to the Pi? Did you reboot the Pi after plugging in the USB? Not just restart FRStack.

I have the spe utility running on my windows machine, I'm not aware on a Linux version. Ill look again for a firmware update, and may try and see if using the remote serial interface works any different. Thanks for all your help!

Re: Help with Modified MKCM SPE Amp.json
Scott - Another thought. Are you shutting down and restarting?FRStack after each change to the config file? Shutdown Command. ? ??sudo systemctl stop FRStackWebApi Start Command. ? ? ??sudo systemctl start FRStackWebApi And then, make sure FRStack is running: Status Command. ??systemctl status FRStackWebApi Word of caution.? FRstack will fail to start if there are any syntax errors in the appsettings.json config file.? Good to check FRStack is running. Alan? |

Re: Getting started with Node Red
开云体育Many ways to get there.?From the Inject, take that msg.payload and you can use a Change node to set the msg.payload to flow.x (or any other name). Feed the msg.payload to a function node. var y = flow.get(“x”); msg.payload = (msg.payload * y); return msg; You could probably condense into single function node.? 73 Dave wo2x Sent from my waxed string and tin cans.?

Re: Help with Modified MKCM SPE Amp.json
Scott
Since you have only one Com connection to the RPi, you can try to just use the default port path: Next, Dave, WO2X, said to test the SPE amp USB port by downloading the SPE utility. ?Make sure the SPE amp and the Utility work OI, that way you know your USB connection is good. And last, another ham on this list had the same equipment and problems you are having, and in the end said he found a later version of firmware, that solved his connection issues.. ? ?I forget who it was, so maybe they will see this and jump in.

Re: Help with Modified MKCM SPE Amp.json
开云体育Both rebooted.... far as I can tell there's no config option for the baud rate in FRStack, and the amplifier is supposed to be auto-baud detecting...
