Yes, possible but I would prefer people be able to load the software and configure it so they are familiar with terminal mode. Also we have limited storage on the Goups.io group.

I will again verify the WiKi tomorrow.

Would it be possible to create an image file, zip it up and then upload it to the file section? You could delete any flows first. I have done this with a couple of pi projects. It gives newbies a known starting point.

Just a thought.

OK, so I retraced my steps, starting with the Raspberry Pi Imager. Looks like the only OS options I see are 32 bit.?

Admittedly, I didn't pay a lot of attention to which options were available when I started this endeavor. I took the default (recommended) option.

So maybe that's where my problem lies - 32 bit OS and 64 bit .Net Core - I'll try installing the 32 bit .Net and we'll see.

I'll be watching for your progress as well.

Thanks a bunch!

Well that makes sense...

Maybe I am mixing apples and oranges here.

But how do I check which version of OS this thing has on it?

I thought the Pi 4's were 64bit.

Maybe I'll just try installing the 32 bit .Net Core.

.Net core needs to match to OS. So if 64 bit OS you install 64 bit .Net

You can run dotnet—info

That is a space then double dash after dotnet.?

This will show .Net version installed.?

?Hi Alan,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I went back and re-ran the sequence for the NetCore 5.0.1 install.

Following the WiKi:
# From the Downloads folder, execute the following commands:

sudo mkdir -p /opt/dotnet
# for 32bit
sudo tar -zxf aspnetcore-runtime-5.0.1-linux-arm.tar.gz -C /opt/dotnet

sudo tar -zxf aspnetcore-runtime-5.0.1-linux-arm64.tar.gz -C /opt/dotnet
sudo ln -s /opt/dotnet/dotnet /usr/bin
I had downloaded the 64bit file. Verified with an ls of the Downloads folder.
Entering the final sudo command line above, lists a bunch of files. I assume that meant the installation was successful.
I then changed back to the /usr/local/frstack folder.
After re-running the Run FRStack WebApi sequence, I still get the error.
Sorry, still stuck.
Unclear which versions I'm to be running for both .Net Core 5.0.1 and FRStack (32bit vs. 64bit) on a Raspberry Pi 4.

Re: Video Frstack

Your Dot.Net is not installed.

Repeat all the steps for Dot.net.? When you "unzip" the file, pay particular attention that you adjust the name of the file to be unzipped to match the actual version number you downloaded.

To do this, while you are in the Downloads folder, do a "ls" command to show the files.? Copy the name of the Dot.net into the zip file, removing the name that is shown in the Wiki.? Or, just?adjust the version number to match.

I'm stuck at FRStack as well.?
I'm installing on a pi4, and have been following Dave's 64 bit WiKi.
Pi OS installed & updated. Check.
.NET Core 5.0.1 Installed. Check.
Node Red installed. Check.
Next up: Install FRStack on RPi.
FRStack downloaded & unzipped. Check.
Next up would be to Run FRStack WebApi from a Command Line.
This is where I run into trouble.
When attempting to execute (from /usr/local/frstack):
dotnet FRStackWebApi.dll --urls ""
I get an error msg:
"bash: /usr/bin/dotnet: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error"
I ls and see all of the files.
I see the same command line in the?FRStackWebApiReadme.html file on Mark's site.
I'm sure it's user error - I just don't know where I'm messing it up.?
I downloaded the FRStackWebApiRpi.zip file as I'm running a Rpi. Should I have gotten the FRStackWebApiLinux.zip since I've got a Rpi 4 (64 bit?)?
I am not very comfortable with linux, so please go easy.
I'm kinda lost here. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Clickable Azimuthal map flow for PSTRotatorAZ

#1331

Tormod's range pointer flow has been one of the more popular threads we have had.

I see most of you are building the image file and then copying the result into the function.

I have not yet tried this new flow, but, I have been working with a new set of nodes that work with image files.

The "jimp-image" node will read an image file, format the file per your pre-set configuration, and send it out as a msg.xyx, or a context variable. ?One of you might be interested in combining the ability to select the desired image and then send it to Tormod's function to build the map underlay image string.

This way, you could have selectable map underlay images, for showing your rotor pointers.

Here is a link to the flows: ? ?

#1328

I downloaded David's flow FlexRadiov5b1.json? flow and imported it and have it working.?

However, my confusion comes for the comment that you made saying drag the other tabs from the groups.?
All my dashboard shows is the radio and the meters nothing else.
When I transmit I get the Red Transmit.?
I do not have any other tabs to bring in and it certainly does not look like the pictures that you had in the zip file.
I do not have any other tabs to drag in that I guess I could use to integrate other functions.?
If all I have is all there is then that's fine I just do not want to be missing a step

Re: Looking for comments from new members using Node Red

Just be careful.

?

If you have Flex data going to the KAT500 full time then you will not be able to manually control the tuner. The Manual commands would get overridden by the info coming from the Flex.

?

However, you can bring the Flex frequency and band info into Node Red and have a gate set up for Auto or manual mode. In Auto mode format the Flex data and pass to the KAT500. When in Manual open the gate so that the Flex does not stream info to the tuner then have manual controls set up.

?

Just a thought….
