Re: IC7300 rig control

Alex - G7KSE
 

Evening Gents,

The IC7300 has a whole host of rig settings that work in one scenario and not in another. The setup for N1MM isn't happy with the Fldigi one for example. I'm not entirely convinced the rig setup is not 99% of the issue here. I wasn't getting any output on the serial in node until I changed something on the rig. Also when I changed the parse C-IV node RADIO_ADDR to 0x94to match the 94h in the 7300 it gives an error. Oddly enough I have a similar error on another unrelated flow.More investigation required there I think.

Anyway. Here's a couple of screen shots. First is the debug from CI-V Get Freq, Second shows the whole flow and output from Serial In. There is no output from the final debug which leads me to think that the outgoing serial message is ok but Icom magic is killing something

Hello to all,?

i'm looking for a nodered flow for the ACOM1200s.
Has anyone already played with that amplifire and nodered?

You might take a look at?the Zimaboard?? ? They come with a Debian based Linux distro ()? installed with Docker.? ?I've only been playing with it running Node-Red in a Docker container.? However, you can hang an external SSD on it, blow out the OS, and put Windoze on it.? It runs on 12V too, without fans.

Re: IC7300 rig control

 

Alex,

Can you post a screen shot of the Debug outputs showing the msg.payload going into and out of the Function node throwing the errors, and what is actually in that Function node?? You attached my sample with only one Function node.? If that is the function that is throwing errors, I would think it is due to the payload length is different than what my sample code was written for. (IC-706 / IC-725)?

Warren, KD4Z?

Re: File /K0VM Flows/LP-100A flows.json uploaded #file-notice

 
Edited

I attempted to install this flow today but I'm having a similar problem to Ed's in that the serial connection is there, but I have no data coming across.

I'm using a Prolific serial to USB adapter, and I believe I have the port configured correctly.? My LP-100A is running v1.3.3.9, so the serial port is set to 115200, 8, N, 1. And my update to the serial port string in the flow uses the ID (/dev/serial/by-id/usb-Prolific_Technology_Inc._USB-Serial_Controller-if00-port0: 115200-8N1).

I can see in Debug that the toLP100 node is polling every 100 ms, but there's no activity in the Debug window when I'm looking at the Msg 1: Valid node.

Anyone have any suggestions as to what else can I look at to fix this?

Thanks,

Frank N6OI

Re: IC7300 rig control

I don’t have Icom but guessing.?

Maybe the function nodes in question are receiving multiple, different payloads and error on the ones not expected. A debug node connected to node feeding function node in question can confirm. You may need to set debug node to complete message object instead of msg.payload

This is happening on a couple of nodes now so there must be some kind of issue that needs resolved there too.

Re: Raspberry api availability

 


I am not familiar with the Orange Pi. It states it runs Debian Linux.?

The Raspberry Pi 400 is the same as my current Pi 4B with 4 GB ram and that runs all my flows fine.?

The Pi 400 is supposed to have better cooling than the stock Pi 4B so they claim it runs faster.?

I have used the Pi 400 when I did the ARRL W1HQ club station. It worked fine there.?

Just an FYI for those interested.

I ordered a Raspberry Pi 400 with 4 GB ram and 15 watt power supply from DigiKey today. This is same as a Pi 4a. With 4 GB ram. It comes in a keyboard case so if you want to run it with a monitor you only need to add a monitor and mouse. It has three USB ports and a micro HDMI port.? The charger is USB-C.

Price with charger is $78 and $6.99 flat rate Fed Ex shipping in U.S. plus tax.

I figure I would pass this on in case anyone is looking for one.
