Re: File /!1! Flows by Type/SVG Based Flows/Tuner Sweep.json uploaded
#file-notice
开云体育Alan and I are continuing to tweak the Auto Tune flow (it is more than just an SWR sweep at this time). Alan is adding ability to show a success/fail for each tuning memory when performing the auto tune. ? Alan, feel free to upload the zip file with my radio and TG XL flows when you are completed. ? The three flows in the zip file will work together as there are link in & out nodes between the flows. You would need to uninstall the Flex Radio and Tuner Genius flows first, deploy, then import the three flows in the zip. ? We’ll come up with some documentation as Alan has standard and customizable features in his auto tune flow. I am going to do a video of it in action as well. ? 73 Dave wo2x ? ?

Re: Tweaking WA9WUD's Auto Tune flow
Also, another important note on building the HTML string. The "SWR Meter" function builds a text file called, "msg.template" to send the HTML to the Dashboard Template Node. In order to get the dynamic data into the text, I had to use a ?concept called, "Template Literals". You add a "back tick" around the text rather than a set of quotes.? Outside the text build, bring in the JSON object, but it must be converted, first, to a string:?msg.data = JSON.stringify(msg.data); Then, in the text build, between the back ticks, bring in the variable, msg.data with this syntax, var data = ${msg.data} The reverse ticks are very small and hard to see in the function, so be sure to not delete them. Here is a link describing String Literals. On Wed, Jul 6, 2022 at 6:14 AM Alan Blind, WA9WUD via <a.alan.blind=[email protected]> wrote: Dave |

I like your improvements. ?As you say, this is the fun of Node-Red, open source working together to advance our ideas. ?Also, integrating the Sweep flow into your Tuner Genius Flow, will make easy for other Tuner Genius persons to use the Sweep Flow. The visual presentation easily shows how your G5RV antenna is performing. ?The resonant areas, and the areas needing tune solutions are easy to identify. ?Also, easy to adjust your TG tune solutions with changing seasons. FYI, I found that Stephen had used a Javascript library, called "D3, Data Driven Documents" to build his panadater flow. ?I found that Node-Red had a version 3 of D3 built in. ?There are more advance D3 versions, and if you want to use them in Node-Red, just add the desired D3 library script to a Node-Red Template, Head Section, node. I found this video series concise and easy to learn from, for using D3. ?The bar chart build is in video three: Alan. WA9WUD |
Tweaking WA9WUD's Auto Tune flow
开云体育Hi All, ? I have integrated Alan’s Auto Tune flow with my Flex Radio and Tuner Genius flows. I also have been doing some customization to make it more readable. I made the SWR bars smaller and they appear above the frequency and tuner settings for each tuner memory. I changed the frequency and tuner values to yellow on black. I also changed the SWR numbers at bottom of graph to white on black. ? Thoughts? ? 73 Dave wo2x ? |
Re: OM Module w/Antenna Genius
开云体育I have for another ham but I don’t think I have saved it. I am willing to help you and we can do it remotely. Reach out to me direct.?P.S. I need to order an OM module and 1x2 antenna switch. Going to be adding a high power triplexer and diplexer along with band pass filters to my setup. Expected delivery of triplexer, diplexer and filters is next month. Have to still order the OM and 1x2.? 73 Dave wo2x Sent from my waxed string and tin cans.? On Jul 5, 2022, at 9:17 PM, Patrick Lenn <nwmtech@...> wrote:

OM Module w/Antenna Genius
I've got the posted Antenna Genius flow up and running (thank you David), but recently added on the OM Module to it. I'm using to power do some relay switching for a couple antennas. Has anyone integrated the OM module into a flow yet? I'm sure it's possible, but unfortunately this is way above my pay grade.?

开云体育I had one thing misconfigured that wasn’t showing actual tune values for C1, L, and C2. Fixed. Also changed text color to yellow. Here’s my 40 meter sweep. You can see where my antenna is resonant ? ? 73 Dave wo2x ? ? ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Alan Blind, WA9WUD

Re: File /!1! Flows by Type/SVG Based Flows/Tuner Sweep.json uploaded

开云体育OK, I modified Alan’s flow to use Link IN and Link Out nodes to the Flex Radio flow and Tuner Genius flow. I selected starting frequency of 3.525 MHz and ending 3.975 MHz then 9 steps (remember, only 10 memories per antenna per band) ? Here’s the results. On the left is my dashboard showing his flow and results of auto tune and on right is his flow zoomed way out so you can see complexity. Gotta change the red on blue. I think yellow on blue will be much more pleasing to the eyes. ? ? Nice work Alan! ? 73 Dave wo2x ? ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Alan Blind, WA9WUD

I agree, links are better then MQTT....in my case, two different machines...so....MQTT. FYI, here are screenshots of the WO2X TG-XL Flow connections to the Sweep Flow: Alan |

开云体育I will load it later and play around. Been dealing a bit with health issues so wind up sleeping in the afternoons. Today will force myself to play radio (and Node Red).?Thanks for the work on this. It definitely can be beneficial in several ways, if not just to plot SWR curve of antennas.? I’ll give you a call once I have it running and we can compare notes.? 73 Dave wo2x Sent from my waxed string and tin cans.? On Jul 5, 2022, at 12:56 PM, Alan Blind, WA9WUD <a.alan.blind@...> wrote:

Thanks, Dave, I was hoping you would take it for a drive. ?Looking forward to your improvements.
For both the SWR Sweep and Tuner Sweep, the step number (var max count) is entered from a dash pull down, then, the freq step is calculated in the "Set TX frequency" function. ?The result is displayed on the dashboard as "Frequency Step". Alan. WA9WUD |
Re: File /!1! Flows by Type/SVG Based Flows/Tuner Sweep.json uploaded

开云体育Hi Alan, ? Nice work! Question, how do you determine the step sizes per band? ? For example, there are 10 tuning memories per antenna per band up to 4 antennas per band. On 80 meters I use 50 kHz steps starting at 3.525 MHz and the 10th step winds up at 3.975 MHz. On smaller bands like 17 meters you could probably accomplish tuning in 2 to 3 memories with smaller step sizes. Just curious how you deal with that. ? 73 Dave wo2x ? ?

Results are displayed in a SVG bar chart. ?Here is a screenshot of the results of teaching my Tuner Genius the solutions for a G5RV antenna, across the 40 M band, ten steps. ?Also, attached is a video of the Tuner Genius "Learning". Because the Tuner Genius only allows three TCP connections, I used Dave's Tuner Genius flow to move the TCP stream to my flow. ?In my case, I used MQTT nodes, but you could substitute "Link" nodes too.

Re: FTDX101 ON OFF
开云体育Plagiarism at its best!As Ron said, customizing any of the flows you find to fit your specific needs is why Node Red is so flexible. Dave wo2x On Jul 4, 2022, at 9:45 PM, Ronald Panetta, WB2WGH <ron@...> wrote:

Re: FTDX101 ON OFF
Adrian, no issue. That's the beauty of Node Red, one can tweak and customize as one feels appropriate. I'm glad I could provide the framework for that. In the end, since I am Flex based, the Flex itself manages the exciter drive level i do not use the flow's exciter drive level option. Based on suggestions from several of you, I rolled in the exciter drive level option for non-Flex users and modeled it after the SPE Flex model.? Ron WB2WGH?
