Re: SteppIR Yagi flow needed
Thanks. I wrote a new flow which works, but will check yours. I can send mine along as well.?
I added Normal, 180, Bi-directional buttons. Also Home and Calibrate. Then added a Manual/Tracking. It stores flow variables for switching. ?I used UI Template nodes for buttons as I like the CSS on them.?
I also have built an Alpha 9500 flow based on some old work by Stu K6TU
I went on last night and was s9 +10 into NC from HI. Guess it works.?
Thanks Dave Sent from my waxed string and tin cans.?

I've also got it setup with a personal Freq Sync option. Basically puts the SteppIR into AUTOTRACK, but stops the frequency message flow to the controller. I then use the SYNC button to send the message to the controller and have it follow. I also have a StreamDeck button that commands the sync as well. Works really well if you're operating with a SteppIR and multiple slices on a Flex. Then it's not constantly tuning when you move your TX slice. Mess around with it and it will make more sense.?

Flex6xxx and ESPHome or ESP_Async_TCP_Webserver
Dear OMs
?
I am one of the early prototypes who went into REMOTE op.first via various Skype/VNC and evolved into Flex6300 and ex.military FLP PA with 10 electromechanical memories , various 6:2 and RX Ant switches. I implemented it the cheap way - Chinese ESP8266 / ESP32 Boards and realy boards with various WebServers or later ESPHome with Webserver running on each board.
?
Now questin is - I would like to have one unified UI where I can see Flex,ANT Matrix for TX/RX/9Circle etc. instead of having 4-5 WEB Browser tabs. Is it possible at all? Does ESPHome without API (only webserver and simple switch definition) work against nodered or anyone even tried it yet?
?
Best regs?

Hi all
I had modified a SteppIR flow 2 1/2 yrs ago for a MonstIR at the remote station in Hawaii. It worked great!
Stupid me never made a good backup after the work I did.
Anyone have a copy I sent them or a good working SteppIR flow?
I have a couple but have links to other flows or are for multiple radios. I am looking for a simple flow that has Tracking On & Off, Home, Calibrate, 180 and ability to take frequency in from radio (Flex 6400)
I know I have sent the flow I did to others on the group.

Hi All,
Has the Pi5 GPIO issue been resolved? I checked the RPi forum and most of the topics are dated with February 2025 indicating the issue may be ongoing. I'm finding GPIO inputs to be very unstable and frequently toggle status for unknown reasons. Is there a working lib for GPIO on the Pi 5?

Flexradio and antenna switching flow ?
Hello, can anyone share an example of how to switch antennas in the Flexradio ?

To add to Alan¡¯s post:
The command will choose a relay group in the OM module. When you create the first group, it is number 1. You must remember the order that you created the groups so you know the number for that group.?
I helped a group member that have 7 different relay groups for each of 5 bands. That is 35 different groups. To keep track, he had an Excel spreadsheet to show the relays enable for each group along with the name for the group. This made programming the OM module easier and ensured the Node Red flow would select the proper group.?
You cannot select individual relays with the API. Only groups.?

First, you need to set up the Antenna Genius "Sets" that define the relay to operate. ?Perhaps you already have done this since you say the AG utility is now used to switch your stack match.

The AG API command is, output set 10 active=1

DD2ML, it occurred to me you may not be using one of the Antenna Genius Flows from this group, such as the WO2X Ag flow. ? ?If you are, just tie the link from the OM flow command to the input of the AG flow's TCP node in.

If not, I added a TCP out node to the OM command flow for your use, attached. ?Revise the IP to the IP of your AG, the port should stay at 9007.

Re: Looking for existing flows for Hermes Lite 2+ and SPE and Yeasu Rotor ERC
Tony, I can assist eithnthe SPE and ERC flows when you're ready.
Ron WB2WGH?
Hi Scott and Ron,
?
I have seen and downloaded the SPE( I have 1.5) flows. I have not set those up yet, nor have I looked for the ERC flow yet.
?
I spent a ton of time and frustration trying to get the various SDA100 flows to work with my steppIR with minimal luck. I wonder more from connection issues (to null/crossover or not?). I started with this because it was the only piece of equipment in my shack that I didn't have some way of remoting into. Actually I don't have the Hermes set up for remote either. I think I will get away from the frustration of the SteppIR control and play with SPE flows and also the ERC... it might be a bunch more successful.
?
I assumed that I would run the Thetis on its own part of the screen and have sections for the spe, erc, and steppIR. I will look to see if Thetis can take a cat input. I know it can output Kenwood cat control because that is how I control the SPE with it.The HR50 tracks with the Hermes and the SPE tracks with Thetis via a usb to serial adapter. The steppIR tracks with the SPE. So that is doing very well. I just want to monitor and change power settings, steppIR menus, etc from the computer screen.
?
Maybe I should start off with something more conventional like my TS890 or 7100 and the SPE, SteppIR, ERC. I have been allergic to bothering those two radios as I have alternate remote software being used for them.
?
I feel like a dog chasing a car.... I wouldn't know how to drive it if I caught it ;)

Re: Looking for existing flows for Hermes Lite 2+ and SPE and Yeasu Rotor ERC
Your best bet is probably going to be to talk to Thetis with Node-RED and let Thetis talk to the HL2. I have done this with another HL2 client called deskHPSDR (), but the CAT control for Thetis might be different. Post a link to the CAT control documentation for Thetis and I'll take a look.
?
Which SPE do you have?

Re: AUDIO OUT node not working?
Thanks Mick and Marty. I did as you suggested and now it is working. Not sure why it was necessary to add the IP address when I checked the default allow sound. Anyway, now working as it should. And again, Mick, thanks for this flow. We had lots of lightning here the other night and the flow worked great. I have it 'wired' to activate a relay to disconnect my antennas when the lightning is detected within 10 miles.

Re: AUDIO OUT node not working?
Spot on target Mick,
?
I was about to add that you can access the site settings by clicking to the left of the URL (the Not secure button in this case)? ?Often websites will prompt you to start Chrome audio like NA5B which will set the setting for that site.
?
?
When browsing your dashboard address,
go into site settings, and see what it has configured for Sound permissions.
?
?
I've often found that "Automatic" may not always work, so choose "ON" or "Allow" to avoid the not-so-automatic issue.

Re: AUDIO OUT node not working?
Arnie,

I am the author of the code you are referring to.? I originally took the basic Blitortung.org flow and added the mechanized key lookup as well as the lightning alert indicator with a audio alert.? ?The audio out node? sends the output to your browser.? It appears to be working as your previous screen capture shows it 'playing'.??

?
Please check to ensure Chrome can play the sound .? Go to? ? chrome://settings/content/sound? ?and check to see that the dashboard has permissions to play the audio.?? ?

Re: Looking for existing flows for Hermes Lite 2+ and SPE and Yeasu Rotor ERC

I have a flow for the SPE (supports 1.3, 1.5 and 2K) in the files section. Flows also exist for the ERC-4 and I am using one based on one downloaded from the site.

Good Evening
?
As the title says; I was hoping to find something for the HL2+ and extras.
?
My shack has multiple radios. The HL2+ is connected to a Hardrock 50 then fed into an SPE Expert. This all tracks seamlessly off of Thetis running on a 12v cube pc. I know a lot of guys use flex on here, but my search for Hermes flows ?didn¡¯t come up with anything.?
I also use a Kenwood TS890 into the SPE. On the SPE output, I have a dipole and a Stepper 3el spun by a Yeasu rotator interfacing with another computer using ERC rotor control and the SPE term.
?
I have been intrigued by node red for about a year, but my skills don¡¯t match my desire. I have attempted to grab individual flows and use them on some of my gear, with no real luck.? You guys make it look so easy!
?
My goal would be to try and build a desktop with both my radios and equipment. A bonus would be to remote into the station.
?
If anyone has time to help me out with this, it would be much appreciated.
