Re: SPE Linear V1.1 flow uploaded to files section

 

Frank, glad that helps. You could put some spacers in to preserve the layout. I haven't worked with spacers much but I think that would work. Any other questions, let me know. I know Adrian, VK4TUX, is probably listening and he has some suggested enhancements?for the SPE flow. As part of that enhancement (timing TBD) I plan to add an "Auxiliary" dashboard widget that includes some of the lesser utilized API functions. That relegates lesser used functions to a widget that can be disabled without affecting the primary widget functions.

73 an have a happy and healthy New Year,

Hey Ron;

Yup, that makes perfect sense.? First of all, I didn't realize that the "Temp Lower" and "Temp (Combiner)" only applied to the 2K.? Now that you have pointed it out it makes sense, but I hadn't thought it through.? Thanks for that.

And the step I missed was resetting the min, max, seg1 and seg2 values to correspond to the correct temperatures in F.? I've now set them to 50, 90, 130 and 170 respectively, and the gauge looks great.

FYI, I picked the low value of 50 more or less at random (hopefully it'll never get that cold in the shack? hi hi), the 170 because the max operating temp of the 1.3K-FA is 75C or 167F, and then set seg1 and seg2 evenly spaced between those two values.

So I guess I should just remove the other temp gauges, but that will destroy your nice layout.? I'll have to think that through a bit before trying it.

Thanks very much for your prompt response!

Adrian, as to the requested changes, they are still in the queue. Please do not give up on me. Even though it is winter here, I continue to work on integration of some of my microwave projects which is taking more time than I had hoped for.?

Have a happy and healthy New Year!

I always thought this feature catered for the external combiner and the temperature of a 2nd connected amp, thanks for that info.

Did you get those last options added for enable possibility, we discussed some months back, backlighting etc ?

Thankyou and Merry Xmas season with a HNY to all.

You¡¯ve got to be able to write a flow so they can do this remote for you Dave.

Seriously I hope you feel better and stay well.

I¡¯ll watch the ball on TV rather than go across the moat. I worked in NYC when I was with Motorola. Some areas were nice. Some were crap. The commute across the moat was the worst part.2 ? to 3 ? hr round trip commute to go 34 miles before 9/11. Holland Tunnel and the Jersey City viaduct were a mess.

?

I was supposed to work on Tower 1 of World Trade Center on 9/11. I cancelled 4 days before since the issue was external interference, otherwise I would have been on the 110th floor at 7:30 a.m. that day. Guess it wasn¡¯t my time. That experience and working at Ground Zero doing communications right after really changed my outlook on life.

Re: Any flows available for the Kessler AT-Auto tuner

Hi Bob,


There should be. The AT Auto manual has the commands to send to the tuner and then get data back.

I am not sure if anyone has written a flow for it.

?

The manual for the tuner is here

The commands for remote control start on page 82.

I asked this question a year ago and was wondering if anyone has discovered a way to control the AT-Auto (not to be confused with the HF-Auto) via node red.
Thanks for any comments.

Re: SPE Linear V1.1 flow uploaded to files section

 

Frank,

2 thoughts come to mind:

1) The 2K is the only unit with a combiner and lower unit. Any unit other than the 2K will not report data for those gauges.
2) I updated the comments in the initialization node to clarify what and how the unit setting works.?
See if this helps. If not, let me know.
73, Ron WB2WGH
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/*
The SPE can be set to display temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit. Data
returned from the SPE via the serial USB interface are unit-less and
there is no way for Node Red to determine the temperature unit selected.

The unit (C or F) selected in the SPE Node Red flow must match the units (C or F)
selected on the SPE setup menu on the amplifier itself.

For Those that would like to display units in degrees Fahrenheit, ensure the SPE
is configured to report temperature in F, comment out the first line (Celsius)
and uncomment out the second line (Fahrenheit).

The purpose of the selection below is to 1) display "C" or "F" on the gauges and
2) set appropriate min, seg1, seg2 and max limits for the gauges.

The flow always reports the numeric temperature provided by the SPE with no
conversion (C to F or F to C) on the temperature itself.

Hi Ron;

I'm new to Node Red, and learning quickly (drinking from the fire hose, as it were).? As a means of jumping in with both feet, I installed your SPE Linear flow as the beginning of a Dashboard that I'm building for my station.? I'm running Node Red on a Pi 4B (2GB), and your flow started working as soon as I configured it, which is great, but I do have one minor issue.

Everything seems to work except the temp gauges.? I initially commented out the Centigrade line and un-commented the Fahrenheit line in the initialization node, but that didn't work at all ¡ª the gauges all still showed ranges of 25 to 65, and none of them showed any reading.? I then restored the default for Centigrade in the Initialization node, but now I see no reading on the Temp (Lower) and Temp (Combiner) gauges, and a reading of 73 (which seems more like Fahrenheit than Celsius) on Temp (Upper).

Have you seen anything like this before?? Any suggestions on how I should debug this?

?

Thanks es 73,
