Re: Digital Loggers Web Power Switch Auto Ping

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I just updated the system and maintenance firmware on mine so the ping stats reset.

Subject: [nodered-hamradio] Digital Loggers Web Power Switch Auto Ping

?

Not really a Node Red topic, but could probably be turned into one.

Can someone take a screen shot of their Digital Loggers auto ping screen and post it here?? I set mine up and it was working.? My internet went out at the remote shack and the switch failed to reboot the modem.? Luckily someone was close and was able to manually reboot the router.? Now I'm wondering if I have a configuration issue?

Re: Serial Control of the ERC-4 Rotator Controller

 

Randy, For once the planets aligned for me.? Just got done building and installing a ERC-4 in my Tailtwister control.?

I've been using NR for many years and thought, "I wonder if someone has made a flow"?

Just got your flow install on a RPi and the serial port got recognized without any issues.? So I'm up and running with clickable presets on a very affordable rotor control.

Tnx!!

If you set initialize pin state under gpio it will have the correct state on node red startup regardless of flow.?

Re: Changing font color by value of msg.payload

 

Alan:

THANKS for the color-coded SWR text flow !? Works perfectly.?

I'm playing around with a real simplified Dash window that just shows output power and swr for when I just want to see those things alone.
I have a Operate/Standby toggle on the Amp flow now. I can either click on the word "OPERATE" or "STANDBY" to toggle to the other, or click on the LED Dot.

How do you change the text BACKGROUND color?? Or, is that done with a "button" node?

That would be TOO cool. Having the KPA500 show up on the Maestro or SSDR would be awesome.

?Working on Mike's idea of a global MQTT broker to share data.

Is there any interest?

If so, what data is of interest? ?Seems like data similar to what is now "spotted" on DX servers would be a starting point. ?Since this data is now "public", sharing the same on a un-secured MQTT broker would be the same.

Anyway, I built a flow, to take the Frequency Data and MOX status from Daves's, WO2X, Flex API flow and upload that to the "test.mosquito.org" Public MQTT broker. ?To limit data flow, the TX frequency is only uploaded when MOX is on.

Here is a link describing the Public MQTT broker. ? ?

I set the topic to be "call_paramater", or in my case for frequency, ?"wa9wud_freq". ?I see others using Node-Red, wanting to know my frequncy, to subscribe to the same topic, and building flows to display.

Other ideas for designing the MQTT "topics" are welcome.

Depending on interest level, I will or will not pursue this idea.

Re: Pi 4 Image Error

 

It sounds like the EEPROM on the Pi4 needs repaired, it is a simple process and here is link to a Youtube video describing how to do that.

Re: Pi 4 Image Error

 

On the Pi4 you can create an image by using the built-in system backup and copier utility on the Pi's desktop, It can easily?copy to a USB thumb drive or to a USB SDCard adapter.?
This will also?let you shrink the size of the SDCard to a smaller?SDCard as long as it is big enough to fit everything?on it.
Just make sure when you plug in the backup SDCard it is mounted and should?show up on the pi's desktop then bring up the Backup utility.?
I have done this Many times now and have not failed.

You will need to update the board¡¯s firmware.

Also check the SD card if is not corrupted.

Re: question dashboard

You might tinker with the width setting and spread it out wide. Here is an example of what I'm working on right now. It's a full on radio system controller for a DXpedition station in a box, called a RIB. ()

I have used only three "tabs", but have adjusted them to be very wide, 27 in this case.

I have leveraged two things that aren't mentioned much on this list or in youtube vids.

One, is use the layout editor on the dashboard / Layout tab. Use it to adjust the visual node positions. You can drag the visual representations of each node to any position, and resize them at the same time.

It's not all good, as the NR developers have an auto-place algorithm that screws up your perfect layout each time you add another visual element. So, get all of your buttons/text fields etc in in play, before bothering to place them in the desired positions. You will see what I mean, the first time it happens. I keep screen shots of the layout grid handy, so I put everything back in place without too many expletives.

Also, I use the "Allow group to be collapsed" option. That puts a little arrow in the corner, and allows show/hide of the whole tab.

I've attached shots of the Dashboard and the layout editor, and how to get to it. The idea is the top portion contains the most used controls, and the second and third levels are collapsed until needed.

Were you able to resolve your problem? ?If you need a zoom, for help, we can arrange.

As for downloading new Raspberry Pi images, I have had good results using the official Raspberry Imager. ?Download the app to your PC or Mac and burn your desired OS image directly to a SD Card. ??



Using the Raspberry Pi Imger, you can pre-configure the SSH and other settings, by following these instructions for "Advance Options:

Re: question dashboard

 

I really wish Node Red would put in better dashboard support.? Lining up groups and spacing them where you want is not obvious.? The current setup is great if you have one row of groupings, but once you get to two rows, it can be a challenge to make it look nice and neat for those of us with OCD.. :)?

They should move to a better WYSIWYG screen for arranging groups and your dashboard nodes.

My $.02.

I haven¡¯t tried it but the default dash is 48x48. You can change that. Also saw an interesting alternative for a dash for those that know web page programming. Looks a lot more powerful with full css support. I have to find the link and post it.?

Having a more graphically oriented dash similar to the HAOS dash is something that intrigues me. I wrote one web site using Wordpress for NJDXA.org (we¡¯re the second call district incoming QSL bureau). It is not professionally done but allows our subscribers to purchase credits to get their QSL cards.?

Maybe some in the group are talented with web programming and would like to contribute some dashboard ideas? I¡¯ll find the link.?

Re: Initialize relays at RasPi startup

 

Domenick

For my GPIO based relay flow, to "initialize" a relay on Node-Red restart, just change one of the "Test" inject nodes to inject one second after start. ?This will position the relay and store he result in context memory. ?I show below an example of using the "false" or open the relay, as an example.

Of note, one of the issues with Raspberry Pi GPIO pins, is the first initial "state" on boot up is undetermined, that is the purpose of waiting one second to initialize the relay. ?Keep in mind, as a result, the relay position could be anything for the first second before the "initialize" inject node fires off.
