#file-notice
Thanks for the response, Dave.
I only have one Prolific adapter (I'm aware of the address issues with using more than one), and in fact I swapped it out yesterday for a FTDI adapter.? Both the Prolific and the FTDI version work fine when hooked to a PC and running the VCP application.
The "Optionally wait for a start character" parameter was not set, so I did enter the semicolon.? Also the Response Timeout was set to 10000 ms, so I updated it to 500 ms.? Thanks for those hints.
I've read elsewhere, and in the LP-100A manual, that the baud rate is 115200 8N1, so that's what I'm using.? And both the input and output serial nodes show "Connected".? Furthermore, I can open the debug window and see data flowing on the output serial node.? But I'm not seeing anything coming into the input node, and the dashboard screen has no data.
I'm sure I'm missing something — probably something trivial because that's Murphy's Law — but I just haven't found it yet.
Are there any other key configuration parameters that I might not have set correctly?? Or any other places in the flow that I can look for debug info?

Thanks Scott,
I'm 99% sure the permission thing is a Ubuntu snap 'feature' if I get the strength I'll see what I can do to fix it. Interestingly I didn't have the 0xFE and 0xFD in the boxes I'll give that a try when I'm back home. I'm sure it was close to working but not quite there.

I have downgrade my ser2net to ver.3.5 as the last ver is unstable and having problem to get it to start,? when I use telnet my K3ng rotor I can get my AZ-readings out , and this is ok?  if I put a debug-note on the input I can se the command there, is ok...the command "C" is the AZ  and I put a debug-note on the output of the Ser2net, then there come no AZ readings..... :-(  the K3ng Arduino board is set to 9600 baud and also the ser2net.conf is made for 9600baud Any one ther can give me a idea what is the problem ???? 73" OZ1CT Ben

Alex,
I loaded in your flow, changed the CI-V address to match my IC-7610 and ran it. I don't know why you are getting permission denied errors. That often implies that another program is attempting to access the serial port or has control of the serial port already. However, your Serial Node is not configured properly. It should look like the attached screenshot. You can ignore the Serial Port and Settings sections, those will be different than yours. What is important is the Input section. That should match what I have. Once I made that change, your flow started working for me.
I am using an FTDI USB to CI-V serial cable rather than the built-in Silicon Labs interface. That interface connects to my logging program directly. However, the Silabs interface will work the same once you fix the Input section.
73,
Scott

If you are using multiple Prolific adapters, you can have issues as the enumeration can be incorrect. ? Open the Serial In node and make sure the line Optionally wait for a start character of?? then Is set for a semi-colon ; ? Also Defualt Response Timeout is 500 ms. ? Check baud rate of meter. I think you can change it in the meter configuration. Default is 19,200. ? 73 Dave wo2x ? ? ? ?

[Reason: Additional details on what is and isn't working.] I attempted to install this flow today but I'm having a similar problem to Ed's in that the serial connection is there, but I have no data coming across.
I'm using a Prolific serial to USB adapter, and I believe I have the port configured correctly.? My LP-100A is running v1.3.3.9, so the serial port is set to 115200, 8, N, 1. And my update to the serial port string in the flow uses the ID (/dev/serial/by-id/usb-Prolific_Technology_Inc._USB-Serial_Controller-if00-port0: 115200-8N1).
I can see in Debug that the toLP100 node is polling every 100 ms, but there's no activity in the Debug window when I'm looking at the Msg 1: Valid node.
Anyone have any suggestions as to what else can I look at to fix this? Thanks, Frank N6OI

Re: ACOM 1200s and Nodered
Louis, Following is link to json I wrote to interface with my ACOM 600S serial port.? This was less expensive than using the ACOM e-Box ethernet interface (for 600S, 700S, 1200S, ...) selling for US$599.? Take a look at the file posted in October.? I don't know if the 1200S and 600S have exactly the serial protocol. /g/nodered-hamradio/files/acom600-ldg-flex-streamdeck flow.json 73 George K7GRJ

Hi Alex
If you hit a roadblock, you may want to consider using the HamLib and the HamLib Daemon next.
When you use HamLib, HamLib does all the communication with the radio for you and then you use HamLib commands in NodeRed to communicate with the Daemon.??
The advantage with doing it this way is that you can write a nodered?application that will then with?many many radios, not just the IC-7300.
I wrote a short flow for the IC-9700 for Amplifier keying, but by changing 1 word, it 'should' work with every other radio that HamLib supports.??
Just a thought for the future.

So a little more progress, only not using this flow
I wanted to make sure that there wasn't something missing with the rig so using rigctld I can set a session up on the RPi and can connect to it using a TCP node and can get the data I'm after from the rig. Perhaps this is the right way to go (Hamlib rather than direct connection). Not managed to find the time to 'set' the rig to do something using a button on the dashboard. I'll have to figure that out as I'll want several settings to be changed with one button. A bit like a macro I suppose.
As a none programmer I'm getting the hang of this, although some of the html / css & javascript is a bit tough going for now. Hopefully I'll get there, mainly doing it by trial and error and by hacking around with other people's flows

Evening Gents, The IC7300 has a whole host of rig settings that work in one scenario and not in another. The setup for N1MM isn't happy with the Fldigi one for example. I'm not entirely convinced the rig setup is not 99% of the issue here. I wasn't getting any output on the serial in node until I changed something on the rig. Also when I changed the parse C-IV node RADIO_ADDR to 0x94to match the 94h in the 7300 it gives an error. Oddly enough I have a similar error on another unrelated flow.More investigation required there I think. Anyway. Here's a couple of screen shots. First is the debug from CI-V Get Freq, Second shows the whole flow and output from Serial In. There is no output from the final debug which leads me to think that the outgoing serial message is ok but Icom magic is killing something

Alex,
Can you post a screen shot of the Debug outputs showing the msg.payload going into and out of the Function node throwing the errors, and what is actually in that Function node?? You attached my sample with only one Function node.? If that is the function that is throwing errors, I would think it is due to the payload length is different than what my sample code was written for. (IC-706 / IC-725)?
