Description:
Andreas' Frequency to Band function, added to a Node-Red Node, adjusted to work with Dave's Flex API VFO frequency output.
Re: introductions

 

Andreas - Nice!

Note; ?Most of us are using Dave's flow to get the VFO frequency and he outputs in MHZ.? So for your flow, we need to multiply by 1000. ??

"var frequency=parseFloat(msg.payload) * 1000"

I tried it and it works just fine.

Re: FRStack Web APIs for RPi with FRStack Node Red Flows

 

Mark and Andrew

Making slow progress.? I downloaded the Net3.1 file and extracted it to the opt/dotnet directory.

Screen Shot 2020-07-23 at 1.33.53 PM.png

Now, when I run the link command, I get an error.....? What now?

Re: FRStack Web APIs for RPi with FRStack Node Red Flows

 

Hi Mark,

Importantly, thank you for taking the time to put the FRStack flows together and sharing them with the group!? There's clearly a lot of though and effort invested in what you've done.

Thanks also for the additional info specific to my project. I got overzealous and fired up the whole enchilada, excited that I was able to get it all imported.? ?I'm running a Pi4 but I'm compounding the CPU load because I'm accessing it headless via VNC and there's also a DXSpider instance running at the same time.? FRStack isn't all to blame here - it's me too! :)

I restarted in --safe and disabled the flows and as you suggested, I'll look at enabling the individual flows and reducing the refresh rates where it makes sense.

Updated PG-XL Flow with some more status outputs working now. Still WIP
Re: FRStack Web APIs for RPi with FRStack Node Red Flows

  

Running the entire FRStack Node Red flows takes about 25% CPU between NodeRed and DotNet on my Raspberry Pi Model 3B Plus

By no way do you need to run all of the flows. Just run the ones you want.
Also I have the polling fast so you could slow down the nodered flows.

# this will report your model
cat /proc/device-tree/model
# this will report your CPU info
cat /proc/cpuinfo

# this will show running processes

Re: FRStack Web APIs for RPi with FRStack Node Red Flows

 

Hi Alan,

I ran into the same problems.??

1.? aspnetcore-runtime-3.1.5-linux-arm.tar.gz

  • I went here to find the most recent version?
  • Find the version you want - I needed ARM32 for my Pi
  • I also changed to sudo wget
2.? wget
  • Again, I found I needed to do sudo wget
That got me to the point where I could start node red and in import the .json file.? I deployed it - and while it's started it has completed brought the RPi4 to its knees.? The Pi is still running but it's so slow that I'm not able to take control of node-red in order to disable to the new flows.? I'm still a noob so there's a high probability that I've messed something up.

I will install ?PI FRStack tomorrow.? Two quick questions:

1- If we already have a working pi with Node-Red, should we start the install at the "Install FRStack on RPI" step?

2- In W10 FRStack, for devices, such as the SteppIR, we must go into the options/settings page to configure the basic settings, like port numbers and type of antenna.? How do we set up the device configurations in Pi FRStack?? I do see the SteppIR commands, but no configuration commands?

FYI, In the meantime, I am building a new Raspian Operating System from scratch. ? That way we will know my OS is not corrupted.

Unless you see something in the previously sent responses that need attention on your end....perhaps the permission issue with downloading rpiFRStack.

Re: FRStack Web APIs for RPi with FRStack Node Red Flows

 

If your RPi has Node Red already then just the .NET Core install and FRStack install steps are needed.
I have not create a Node Red Flow for SPE Amp and SteppIR but the Web APIs are there for you to create one.
Let me know how it works out.
