Looks like Blitortungorg is down.? ?I see the node connecting but there is no data from the web api.? ?You can test the flow by adding a inject node here:

with the following params



This should give the following output in the toolbar:

I imported the W8BE flow and it does not load into the toolbar. It loads it to the dashboard and creates an empty space. Does someone know where that configuration lives?

Thanks Dave and Larry,?

Tried both those things but no dice. Then used Wireshark to look at the packets heading to the Node Red Server from the PC running PST. Realised that packets leaving PST are translated to the UDP port setting + 1. Changed the incoming UDP Node in the Flow to 12006 (i'd changed it to 12005 when trying Larry's idea) and voila!?

What is your grid square?

FYI....my forum was changed to Friday at 1:45pm.

Hope to see you there.

I’ll be there, but I’ll have a space in the flea market. Not sure if I can get away.?

Description:
Devantech 8 relay Controller. US supplier https://acroname.com/ THANK-YOU to the previous work of Dave De Coons WO2X and the tutorials of Kyle - AA0Z! Extensive comments in the flow. FLOW FOR CONTROL OF DEVANTECH 8 CHANNEL RELAY INTERFACE. IT IS SHOWN CONTROLLING THE W2IHY COAX RELAY WITH LOCK OUT PROTECTION AND STATUS FEED BACK FROM THE RASPI. THE STATUS FEED BACK REQIIRES INSTALLATION OF THE RASPI GPIO "HAT" ATTACHED TO THE RSPI GPIO PINS. THIS ALLOWS FOR THE PHYSICAL WIRING OF CURRENT STATE OF THE CONTROLLED DEVICES. THIS CAN BE IMPORTANT IF THERE ARE EXTERNAL DEVICE CONTROLS SUCH AS A FRONT PANEL MOUNTED ON/OFF SWITCH OR OTHER MEANS OF DEVICE CONTROLLING. IF THE W2IHY COAX SWITCH OR THE GPIO STATUS IS NOT REQUIRED THOSE NODES MAY BE DELETED AND THE DEVANTECH RELAY SWITCH NODE OUTPUTS SHOULD THEN ALL BE WIRED TO JUST ONE CURL LOGIN FUNCTION NODE. ADDITIONALLY THE COAX RESET NODES ALONG WITH THE COAX SHUTDOWN NODES AND SET MSG PAYLOAD NODE SECTIONS MAY BE REMOVED. IT IS SUGGESTED TO RETAIN THE REFRESH NODES SECTION. Probably not too many users of the ETH008 but perhaps some out there. 73, Garnet WA1VJH

I'll probably record it and put it up on my youtube page.? I'm sure if you watch all the videos about node red on mine and Dave's (WO2X) YT page, you'll get way more out of those videos than you will from the presentation. It's just an overview.??

I wish with all my heart that I could attend, but it conflicts with the birth of our next grand-baby. Will your presentation be available afterward?

If you look at the PSTRotator Nodw Red flow there is a UDP in and UDP out node. ?The port numbers are set to match PSTRotator AZ program setup. You need to do the UDP setup in PST Rotator and we IP of Node Red server then enable UDP control.?

Description:
The connection code in the inject has changed on www.blitzortung.og. They seem to change this from time to time. The current code is found using Firefox or Chrome developer tool and setting the network filter to display WS packets and then connect to www.blitzortung.org. This version has the current code.

Yes, I’ll be there.

I may be going. Not definite yet.?

If anybody is going to be at Hamcation in Feb, I'm presenting a forum on Node Red at 1:45pm Saturday in CS1.??



I'll be hanging out after, so if your a member of this group and down at Hamcation, come say hello.

I just finished preliminary testing of Scott's flow for the 1KFA.? It works well with the exception of the issue on controlling DSR to turn the amp on/off.? ?I posted a question on the Node-Red forum and asked if it could be a feature enhancement for the node.??

Scott,? real nice job on coding this.??

Thanks Mick.

I think being able to toggle DTR programmatically using the serial node is the only reliable way to do it. I was able to toggle DTR by using an external Python script to turn the amp on and off, but that caused an instability in my node-red installation (the node-red process would start consuming 100% of my CPU).?

I am using TP-Link Kasa wi-fi switches to control power to various devices in my shack, so I am hooking up a 12V power brick to one of these switches and I am going to hook that up to the appropriate pins of the DB15 connector for remote on/off. It's an extra wire that I shouldn't need, but it solves the problem for now. I could wire the 12V amp trigger to the 12V output of my rig directly, but I don't want the amp on all the time that the rig is on.

You don't say what you are using for the ip address in the pstrotator udp setup, my port is 12005 and the ip address is the broadcast ip 192.168.1.255 not the pc ip address. Other than that it looks like your doing it correctly.

As expected, it was bad code on my end.?
Changing my array declaration to this format stopped the editor from throwing an error.

Hi Mick,

Thanks for the tip, I'll look into it.

Hi All,?

I'm a newby to Node Red and programming in general (like not 24 hours yet) so apologies if this is too dumb a question.?

I've loaded up Dave's flow for Node Red to PSTRotator and I have it working from the node Red to the PST app, (i.e. I can turn the antenna from the WO2X Shack Control Group), but cannot get the current heading or the target heading to paint up on the graphic in the dashboard.?

I've configured UDP Control setup in PSTRotator for port 12000, as well as setting up the incoming UDP node in the flow for port 12000 and outgoing udp node for port 12000 and the IP Address of the PC with PSTRotator running it. I've put a debug node on the end of the incoming UDP node but not seeing any traffic there (but may also not be doing that correctly either). Makes me think that the issue is actually in the PSTRotator app than the Node Red flow but hoping someone here has a gem to impart here.??
