TX band of FlexRadio 8400 from Node-Red
Hello everyone.
Could someone tell me how to extract the active band (TX) of the
Flex 8400 from node-red?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Issue with FRStack install on Justin's (AI5OS) RPi
I also agree. When I help people I try to teach them so they can learn and be able to customize flows to make them “their own”.?
In Justin’s case, he is more than capable of working with Node Red. The issue is Node Red is a graphical low code programming environment and the editor is not designed for sight impaired users. This, he needs assistance.?
As far as .Net, I am going to build a new Pi later today and include FRStack and whatever version of .Net Mark requires now. I will update the WiKi accordingly.?
If anyone has information they would like to see as a document on the WiKi section, please contact me. My email on QRZ is good.?
I had health issues in 2024 that kept my participation here very low but 2025 is starting off well and I will be more involved.?
Last, when demonstrating Node Red I look at the target audience and tailor my presentation to try and fit for their use with examples of how Node Red can help make their radio operating easier. For a crowd at Xenia, it is a mixed bag. Show some things to get them thinking of how Node Red could work for them. I suggested a live demo of Stream Deck remote integration, which I had done back at Xenia a few years ago.?
And the number one thing, have fun! Working with Node Red can be rewarding, especially for those with no formal programming experience.?
Sorry I got long winded. Off to winter Fied Day to retrieve my Flex 8600 unless one of the other club members decided they need it more ;-)

Using Node-Red is more akin to a "home brew" ham rig, built from a good set of schematics, but no more.? However, the "home brewer ham", must learn basic building skills to be successful.? It can be a time consuming learning curve, not for everyone.

Re: First Time Node Red Users Issues - What Are They?
I did a video on YouTube showing the simple 4 relay flow and when I wrote the WST article, I put a link to the video.?
Something to consider as a “hook”, bring a Stream Deck and plug it in your laptop to show how it can be used with Node Red remotely. I did that at Xenia a few years ago.?
Plant the seed ;-)

? Hi, Kyle:
I mentioned this to you last year but I think it is very worthwhile to show a simple example of creating a program by wiring together nodes. What makes Node Red attractive to non-programmers is its graphical interface. In other words, instead of typing cryptic computer code you can create the logical flow of a program graphically.

Re: First Time Node Red Users Issues - What Are They?
Hi Kyle,
Building dashboards!
I don’t usually have trouble getting things to work the way I want “behind the curtains”, but I struggle with getting status displayed via the dashboard. I end up just using the default, very plain controls.
Sorry I’ll miss you at HamCation!

Re: First Time Node Red Users Issues - What Are They?
Hi Kyle
I’ve always had trouble installing FRStack and Microsoft Visual Studio as the version numbers are different to the wiki (no criticism intended) as this happens to all software, however if you follow the wiki as a new user it sort of screws you up.

Re: Shelly Devices & MQTT
Never mind, I see someone made and updates a node specific to Shelly devices, but they still don't make this stuff easy.? Getting things figured out.??
|
Cool little devices for home automation and relays, pain the butt trying to get them to turn on/off via MQTT.? The documentation on the Shelly website is not correct.
?
Does anybody have a Shelly device and is controlling it via MQTT?? I just got a Shelly Plus 1 to play around with and not having any luck turning the relay off/on via MQTT.? I can see it in MQTT explorer...just can't turn the relay off/on.? I'm sure it's something dumb...

Re: Having to redeploy nodes to get a button to work ?
Sorry for the late reply Kyle, ?

Here is the flow. ?It's not mine I borrowed it directly from the file section. ?Minus me putting in my serial port. ?Odd the KPA flow has no issues but some reason it's just the "toggle" part to switch my antenna's ports. ?
