Re: File Notifications

Great job as always Alan. This comes at the right time, because I'm halfway with my remote station configuration. Flex 6400 is already in, so is the Antenna Genius. Rotator Genius will be installed in the coming days. I got the same DLI Powerswitch I use at home and finally installed the Antenna Disconnect that will use a Sonoff Relay to connect/disconnect the antennas (I plan to use my weather flow to automatically disconnect and shut down according to the weather).
I also will incorporate an Acom 600S, but I don't know if there are any Node Red flows for it. The Plastar Autotuner will stay at home with the home set up, so I will use the 6400 internal tuner until I'm able to purchase de Tuner Genius. My flows are so old and as most of the IP and udp will change, I think I'll start with a clean sd card from scratch, so your files comes at the right time. ?

Re: Nodered and Denkovi 8 Relay USB boards

However on most Linux distributions, the ftdi_sio serial driver is automatically loaded when the FT245RL chip is detected. In order to grant the crelay software access to the card, the default driver needs to be unloaded: ? rmmod ftdi_sio ? To prevent automatic loading of the driver, add the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf: ? blacklist ftdi_sio ? Both 4 and 8 channel versions are supported. However, there seems to be no way to automatically detect which version of the card is used. Therefore the number of relay channles can be configured in the configuration file. ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Re: Nodered and Denkovi 8 Relay USB boards
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýMaybe the web site I followed had a command included that was not needed. I¡¯ve been working on some custom flows for a Pi I am sending to Hawaii for a remote station my frined and I are putting together so I was tied up today. I¡¯ll find the code and post it here for your review. The good news is an exec node and HTML node were used to control and status update all eight relays. ? I wound up ordering a DLI Web Switch Pro and two AC Relays which will be controlled by Node Red for DC Power supply, rotor controller on, Remote Radio On, and Remote PTT for SmartLink changes. ? The Pi will communicate to the 6400, RC2800PS rotor controller, SteppIR? MonstIR, DLI Web Switch, and Alpha 9500. ? Should be a fun setup when everything is in place. My friend has been on with FT8 almost daily with the radio. The ease of integration into WSJT-X and his logging program vs his Flex 5000A is leaps and bounds easier. ? I¡¯ll dig up the code now and post it. ? 73 Dave wo2x ? ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Al Groff via groups.io

I uploaded my Flex Radio Flows. ?Most of the controls and indictions include a SteamDeck Button.
Works with MultiFlex and Multiple Flex Radios. The folder includes: - List of required Pallets to load first. - List of StreamDeck Buttons, with Button ID and Web socket path suffix. ?See the end of the list for a link to download the StreamDeck Custom WS Plug-In. - Flex Connection Flow. ?This flow supports all other Flex Radio Elements and must be installed. - A complete Flex Dashboard, as shown below, fully assembled. ?Simply import this file for a fully functional Flex Radio Dashboard. - A folder of each Flex Radio Flow element for those who want to build their own.

Re: Nodered and Denkovi 8 Relay USB boards
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi MikeI need to compile a list of commands to install crelay then the flow I have is easy to control the right relays on the SainSmart board.? One thing I found is it disables the FTDI sip driver so FTDI USB to serial CAT cables stopped working. The ¡°fix¡± would be to use one Pi running crelay with the USB relay board connected and MQTT to the main Pi which would have the USB to serial cables for rotor, SteppIR, CAT, etc.? It caused me to go a slightly different direction for the remote radio and order another DLI Web Switch Pro and two AC Relays for the remote on and remote PTT.? 73 Dave wo2x Sent from my waxed string and tin cans.?

Re: Nodered and Denkovi 8 Relay USB boards
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI¡¯m building a flow to work with crelay to control the SainSmart USB-8 board. It is a $30 8 relay board on Amazon.Load crelay on Pi then use Node Red to control it and get status. Dave wo2x On Jan 11, 2023, at 8:26 PM, WA8Y Steven <stevenlinley@...> wrote:

Re: Ser2net problems ????
HI .....
Help from anyone who is using k3ng-rotor whit the SER2NET.... still fighting to get the rotor flow to work....... On output-5 I can see the command I send to my rotor, if I ned the Beam dir I send a "C" whit help from a Inject node and my rotor controller should reply whit "AZ=245".... BUT it do not reply whit it...it reply whit som wrong info :-(? I put a debug on outpu-5 to look what is going in to the ser2net, and on output-6 I can monitor the reply from the rotor ?? But why I see those numbers, I simply cannot understand ?? 73" Ben |

Re: What are others using to remote power on / off PGXL set to 240V in NodeRed ?
I built my own switch that is operated by 12V using a Potter and Brumfield?DPST?relay.? I then switch the 12V to this relay with my KMTronic relay board.? ?This is how the commercial world does it.?? They look like this (not this exact model). There are some remote Pool heater switches you can find on Amazon that would work as well. Mike va3mw?
