Would it be possible to view recording of the session at a later time?? Thanks.

Sub TX - looking for TX DAX

I have been trying to pull the data directly from the radio.? ?I am finding getting the TX Dax status to be a challenge.? I have subscribed to 'c16|sub tx all' .? The message that comes back should indicate DAX change but it does not.? ?I consistently get transmit dax=0 regardless of DAX status.??

I looked at the packets with wireshark and to my surprise I can see the change in the wireshark trace. Here is the cmd to the radio when I click the button:

A couple packets later I see the where transmit dax =1 :

Node-RED debug shows the same status.? It makes me think I need to bind to client maybe?? Not sure.? Has anyone successfully? sub tx for TX DAX or Proc data?

Sounds good , i would be interested in advanced topics, for ex , loading  flows , playing with the dashboard I think a lot of us on this group can handle that area .
The talking to the udp port, parse data , might be helpful, talking to a serial port , that is my wishlist. I would suggest mute all and have questions on chat ? My opinion

Join Kyle’s Zoom meeting tomorrow night @ 8 pm Central US. If you are outside North America (EU for example) we can schedule another Zoom meeting to accommodate the difference in time zones.

?

I’d like to have the meeting start with basics – loading extra nodes, flows, etc. Help to get beginners comfortable in getting going.

Later in the call we can cover some intermediate or advanced topics.

?

It is probably a good idea to break it into several Zoom meetings instead of having a long one.

I’ve re-read your message Les. I am testing this now. I do not think it is a FlexRadio flow issue.

Subject: [nodered-hamradio] Problem with TGXL flow

Dave et al,

?? I’m running node-red on a Raspberry Pi. I have a Flex6600M, PGXL and TGXL. Everything works well except: If I power down the Pi and then power it on again, it throws an error for the TCP node in the TGXL flow. The only way it will fix itself is if I power down the TGXL and power it on again. Occasionally the TGXL utility on Windows will also exhibit this behaviour, but not consistently like power cycling the Pi. I’m wondering if node-red needs to ping the TGXL to initiate some output from it. Any clues guys?

Hi Les,

?

It is actually working as designed. I will explain.

?

The Node Red server as I have designed the VITA49 and Flex Radio flows is designed to be running 24x7 and be running before a SmartSDR client connects (SSDR for Win, Maestro, SSDR for IOS, or MAC). If you reboot the Pi, then disconnect your client to the radio and reconnect, it will work.

?

Now, why did I do this? We found if you send TCP commands to the radio while it is transmitting will cause “popping” in the TX audio. You can hear it on SSB, see it in waterfall on FT8 and mangled CW character(s). The FlexRadio flow only sends the subscribe TCP commands when the client first connects. I used to send them every 5 seconds and wondered why I had the popping on FT8. Took a while to figure it out.

?

I could probably look at client connected global variable and wait 10 seconds. If Client Connected does not equal 1 I could have it send the sub commands again. Let me see if that would be feasible.

?

Dave & all,
So I bought a Pi on Amazon, loaded raspberry OS and node-red.? Imported a couple of Pi-specific flows (temp, CPU/disk usage) to see how they worked, and like I am "now what?"? I could really use some help as at this point I don't have a clue what to do next.
Retired in FL and can participate most any time except mornings as we have activities with grandkids.?
THANK YOU for offering this training.

Hi Rusty,

?

I am in New Jersey, USA. Let’s pick a time and see if there is a date and time that is convenient for others. For our European friends, I am available in afternoons which is evening there. We can do two different sessions.?

?

I’ve done an ad hoc Zoom meeting which is recorded but wasn’t done with any script. I have it recorded on my YouTube channel. Kyle AA0Z also has some ham radio YouTube videos.

?

I think if we do a Zoom meeting taking a freshly loaded Pi then showing how to load the VITA49 and FlexRadio flows, then go through various parts of the flows, showing how we get the data from the radio, extract (parse) the needed info, and then what is done with the data, such as how to filter to get only payloads you want, how to split to send certain payloads to one branch and the remainder to another, how to format data to send to the dash, and last, how to send commands to the radio and get the responses and interpret them.

?

Seems like a lot, but once we start it will make sense.

?

I am also available for some one on one.

?

There were a couple of members who had reached out to me for assistance. I will be contacting those members tomorrow. I had been tied up with another project (I like to keep busy).

?

If anyone has suggestions on the Zoom meeting, please respond to this thread.

Re: File /SatPC - CAT.json uploaded #file-notice

#3098

I use my Desktop Smart SDR for the Satellite station and my Maestro for the HF Station. ?Satellite tracking is from SatPC32 which provides doppler connected uplink (TX Radio Two) and downlink (RX Radio One). ?Also, SatPC32 can be controlled from the Flex Radio. ?All CAT work is done via the Kenwood formatted CAT messages.

One issue was, my Smart SDR, remained "tied" to SatPC32, and I could not disconnect the CAT from a remote position to allow the desktop slices to be re-purposed, while I waited for the next Satellite. ?I could not find any Flex API or FRStack commands to temporary disable Flex CAT or the SatPC32 CAT VFO mode.

So.....Node-Red to the rescue. ?I now have a "CAT Control" button on my dashboard. ?I can also control CAT status from other flows, to automatically set up / disable CAT depending on satellite position in the sky. ?Here is my Satellite Screen, with the new button:

The flow works by setting up Flex TCP CAT ports tied to Flex Slice A (downlink) and Slice B (uplink) (Thanks, Dave WO2X for suggesting this concept).

On the SatPC32 side, I select unique port numbers for each radio (radio one: downlink, radio two: uplink)

Next, using "VSPE Manager", set up a port pairs, to match those selected in SatPC32, and a TCP Server, connected to the opposite port pair and to send out the serial connection via TCP:

Node-Red is now set up to connect the two TCP streams of Kenwood commands, one to/from Flex CAT and the other to/from SatPC32. ?A "Gate" node is used to "switch" the stream on/off.
