Re: HF-Auto playing, adding weather flows to rotator
OK.? Well, I seem to recall that someone was successful using a Raspberry Pi in the shack, running serial to ethernet, so that my remote operating position, a windows 10 machine, could run the HF Auto PC App, as well as the Node Red UI in a web browser.? ?I assume that would work?

the US Tower MA850 into a safer lower position. I also added audio
warnings when wind gust start approaching dangerous levels. Pretty
easy to do, the play audio node give you a choice of a male or
female voice, sorry no trans voice for those who may ask. You
simply give the play audio node a payload to say whatever you
want. I've just setup 2 for now for testing. When gusts go 40km to
50km it says "Wind warninig gusts of 40km", when it reaches above
50km I have it saying, "Hey dumbass you better to outside and
lower the tower". Could easily make the rotator follow the wind
direction, but then do I really want to?

Re: HF-Auto playing, adding weather flows to rotator
If you have the rotor flow talk to PSTRotator it will toggle between track and manual. With PSTRotator in ztrack and using N3FJP it will automatically turn the antenna when I click on a call in the DX Cluster. Talk about lazy!

I am sure we could do what you ask, but your "ask" is not yet clear in my mind.
I assume the two operators are operating the same Flex using Multiplex, correct?
I assume each operator is running Node-Red at their location, correct?
Under the multiplex scenario, Flex already prevents multiple TX, given the radio only?has one transmitter, so it is not clear what you are asking for, in addition?? Can you expand?

NR might be the wrong tool for this job thinking about it some more, but the groups is pushing the boundaries all the time, so I though I would ask!

Rich,
Take a look at PiHut in the UK for Pi stuff. I find they are cheaper than the amazon resellers, especially for pi zeros!

Re: How to add leading zeros to a number
It's nice to have that web server feature available. I keep hoping a skilled programmer will share code on how to create a panadapter client that can be served up in a webpage. I know it's been done, but the code is not opensource.

Re: How to add leading zeros to a number
I wonder if the web server was built in before the code was forked. I use a version for my anan-10e. Guess I’ll find out when I end my snow birding in May.
If anyone gets this going for the 6000 series please make a single flow snd post.

That's certainly not MY skill.....I just found that iframe node, and remembered that KE9NS had a web server in PowerSDR. I gave it a try. I just had to adjust a few things and it worked.

Re: How to add leading zeros to a number
I just uploaded v.0.31 to the files section (in my folder). Bear in mind that alot of the settings are custom to my setup. I have the lower group of commands going through a separate TCP to serial connection than the 'built-in' one that is in PSDR. I'm using a program called COMByTCP.....and it's working well.

Re: How to add leading zeros to a number
Can’t wait to see that flow. Would be cool to be able to do same for 6000 series. Would be a good step towards a full Linux client.?
