Re: FRStackWebApi Version 3.1.20.45 for RPi, Linux and OSX
Thanks Mark.?
I will work on a basic flow showing capability for sight impaired hams and post it up.?
The Genovation keypad I have here is a 24 button pad that connects via RS-232. You can program the keypad to send keyboard macros. For example program button 1 to send 1 (hex 31). Then have Node Red read into from that com port and send status to FRStack for that button push.?
You can have buttons to get status for a bunch of stuff. Individual items from FRStack as well as from other flows. Should be interesting.?
This could enable Flex SDR radios to be used by visually impaired hams.?

I made an interface to the SteppIR SDA100 controller, using the above tools. It can be configured for CAT or no CAT, Yagi or Vertical, and RX slice or a specific slice to follow. It will allow the operator to manually send the flex frequency to the SDA100, or have the flow send it automatically. Backgrounds change color based on antenna movement, based on frequency deviations, and based on some confirmed commands received by the SDA100.
FRStack and the Node-Red flow will work with multiplex with one or two clients. The Flex Frequency source TX slice, or selected slice, will be from the "bound" client. There is a separate flow available to select/change the bound client if you want, but not mandatory. I am using an RS232 (DB9) to USB FTDI cable between the SDA Data Out and the Raspberry Pi USB connection. If you also have the CAT control cable installed, to use "Transceiver Data" directly from the Flex Server to the SDA100, you can still use this flow to send commands to the SDA100 and receive all of the data variables for display. Bands can be sent directly to the SDA 100 from the flow to drive the SteppIR. There are "+" and "-" buttons to adjust the SteppIR frequency up or down in small increments. "Resend" of commands is built into FRStack to compensate for the SDA100 controller to sometimes not accept commands. Here is a screenshot of my dashboard for the BigIR:

Denkovi usb 8 relay board
Anyone have a flow for controlling the Denkovi usb 8 relay board??
Thanks for any help ---

I use my Flex 6600 and Q5 Transverter for Satellites. Node-Red for station controls, including antenna and pre-amp switching. The Windows based Satellite tracking software of choice has been SatPC32. I also use FlexSatPC to gain more functionality from my Smart SDR interface. I now want to give DogPark MacDoppler a try, but as most know, it will not interface with the Flex Server. I know it will interface through DogPark Smart SDR, but I want to be able to use other clients, such as my Maestro. So.....I built a Node-Red / piFRStack interface between MacDopper and my Flex 6600 server running Multiplex. My interface uses the up/down frequency and modes from MacDoppler to give full doppler correction capability to the Flex Client. Node-Red will identify the TX and RX slice, from the "bound" client (for multiplex, two client operations) and assign the down frequency and up frequency accordingly, along with the required operating mode for each. I also use the Azimuth and Elevation information from MacDoppler to drive my PST Rotor, interfaced using Node-Red. Node-Red will disconnect with PST Rotor after 15 minutes, so I do not track every satellite around the clock and ware out my rotor. Below is a screenshot of my "Mac" based Satellite station. MacDoppler in the upper left, Interface on the upper right, and station controls along the bottom. I am using my Maestro as the Flex Client. Now, to spend some time learning to use MacDoppler.

Re: Another Idea HRD DB Query
You are correct. By default it uses MS Access I believe. But there is an option to convert to MySql to get performance boost which is fairly easy to do. But it was my assumption that Mike was geeky enough? to do just that. :)

Re: 8 relays - no soldering
Steve, I have the 4 relay.? Sending 1 toggles.? Send 1, first time turn on.? Send 1 2nd time turn off. I am far from a programmer!
Here is a copy of the 4 relay Flow, I am developing. An Additional node is set up to shutdown or reset Pi and also shows current CPU load and CPU temperature.
If you have no want for MQTT, delete the bottom four buttons and MQTT calls.

Re: Another Idea HRD DB Query
Isn’t the question first which database HRD is using? Or do later versions all use MySQL? I thought that was an option to pick your engine.

Re: 8 relays - no soldering
I don’t have that relay board, but it is a binary number that makes it work then I would explain it this way:
Take the payload and convert it to binary. It should be obvious at that point :-)
Payload = 1 is 00000001 Payload = 2 is 00000010 Payload = 4 is 00000100 Payload = 6 is 00000110 - Your example is wrong Payload = 7 is 00000111 - your 7 was missing Payload = 8 is 00001000
If the the bit value is 1, then the relay is on.
The bit values for the individual relays are:
1: ? ?1 2: ? ?2 3: ? ?4 4: ? ?8 5: ?16 6: ?32 7: ?64 8: 128
Example Relay 1 and 3 on is 1+2 = 3
Example” Relay 1 and 4 on is 1+8 = 9
All relays = 1+2+4+8+16+32+64+128 = 255
I hope this helps.
