Standard Flow Outputs from Flex/FR Stack

 

Just a thought I had driving to work today, it would be nice (and easy) to have somewhere in the Flex flow or a dedicated flow (like the Flex meters flow were all the meters are kept) were all the parameters that potentially need to get pushed over to another flow in one place.? Does that make sense?

This way if a Flex radio flow changes, those outputs (PTT, frequency, mode, slice, antenna selected, etc) are all in one location, constant and are named.? Sometimes I find myself trying to find where I grabbed the PTT on/off because there are 3 different locations where you could get it.??

Just a thought here...

Re: N1MM UDP Interface

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Perfect. Thanks Alan. I am very familiar with the whole UDP interface as I had to program it from scratch to add it to TR4W (another contest logger). I send the same UDP messages from TR4W that N1MM sends.

Glad to hear some are already using it. Will start with these flows.

Thanks to you both (Dave and Alan).

Re: General Questions about Node Red

 

Andre

Welcome to the forum.

I can comment on Green Heron RT21 controllers.

Yes, we have already built flows to interface directly with the RT21.? In my case, I built a Node-Red flow to get the AZ and EL data from SatPC32 and send that to the RT21.? Similarly, most logbook programs have a UDP or API interface to get the rotor info into Node-Red.? Then it's a simple change to my flow to command the RT21 with the same data.

An important consideration is what platform do you prefer to run Node-Red?? This is important in setting up the COM ports with the RT21s.? Since you have multiple rotors, might I suggest you run Node-Red on a Raspberry Pi and use COM to IP converters for each RT21.? I use the MOXA N5200.? I have direct experience with this configuration and found it is very stable.

Another approach is to command PST Rotor using Node-Red.? Many prefer this method.? However, this does not solve your need to use multiple inputs to command your multiple RT21s.

Which logging program do you use.? We already have Node-Red connectors for N1MM.

I think most of the devices you are using GH Anywhere, can be done with Node-Red and consolidated on a single Dashboard, including adding interlocks and other functions?between various devices.

I can help you get started with the rotor control if you like.? Then expand from there.

Nice job.? I especially like how you selected the indexed parts of the UDP broadcasts.

Using the same UDP broadcasts from MacDoppler, I built a flow to have MacDoppler drive my rotors and provide uplink and downlink info to CAT drive the Flex.? It worked well with my Maestro using MacDoppler to CAT tune the Flex. ? However, I could not use the Flex to CAT tune MacDopler and I did not like the tiny little frequency knobs on MacDoppler, so I went back to SatPC32.

Re: File /KD4Z Flows/KPA1500_K3_K4.json uploaded #file-notice

 

Hi Warren.

I will check the mode command as you pointed out. Thanks.

The TCP connection is left open so that if you manually press the on button on the RF deck the flow is connected to the amp.

I have three communications connections to the back of the KPA1500:

KXUSB cable from amp to USB port on Flex. This allows amp to follow frequency of TX slice and amp changes bands and tunes antenna tuner before any RF applied.

USB A to B cable from amp to PC for KPA1500;utility and remote programs.

Ethernet cable to gig-E switch at operating position for Node Red.

To check the WOL, double click the WOL node and make sure your amp MAC address is listed. Also check the amp menu settings. Net Wake on LAN must be enabled. I believe this is shown when tech mode is enabled. I will add these notes to the comment node on the KPA 1500 flow.

Feel free to reach out if you have any other suggestions to make the flow better. I am adding a one button antenna tune function to the 1500 flow.

?Hey Dave,

I was getting the looping with your original Flow and no other applications running. The K3 isn't actually polling the KPA, as they have direct, event driven 2-way communication on the Auxbus. However that in-family integration is getting upset. If you created this with a Flex as the exciter, you might not have noticed this loop.

However, I assume you didn't have a K3 to test this with as the 1 second beeping of the K3 made it sound like you were in the ER! My change is a classic "loop breaker" and you might want to incorporate it in your primary Flow as the extra mode status command is unnecessarily being sent after each polling request. It really made the amp unhappy when you clicked Operate mode on.

What I'd like to know is why is the tcp connector is not disconnecting after each session --as it is configured to do so. Could this be a Raspian issue? If I have the KPA1500 Remote app running (and connected), the Flow is blocked. If I close the Remote app, and restart the Flow, then the Flow begins to work again.

BTW, the WOL section doesn't work in my setup. It's enabled in the Amp, but is ignored.

One idea for this ongoing problem of missing nodes:? if people would start sharing flows as a node red project, the list of dependencies would be built in.

An existing flow can be imported to a project in the node red editor.
Then, it handles all that, like missing nodes.
