Use the same USB port with ?the settings I sent you, and use the TCP Request node instead of the two TCP in and TCP out nodes. ?Be sure to remove the unused TCP nodes. ?Then reboot pi, reboot W2.?

I use the metering in the KPA1500. I kept monitoring and control simple, to what I need for remote operation. But the nice thing with Node Red is any avalable command or info returned can be displayed. It is just how crazy you want to go.
For the people new to Node Red, install it and load some flows to look at the different nodes ?nodes to see how we manipulate the data. Looking at examples helps to learn.
As always, ask questions here. Pretty much any equipment with serial, USB, or IP can be added.?

Having used a W2 until last week (but for about 10 years previous) I found that I needed to hit 'scan' more than once.
Changing scales requires you to do math on the reported values.
BTW, for Scan, I think it requires a special firmware from Elecraft, but you would need to confirm they actually made the firmware public.

Having used a W2 until last week (but for about 10 years previous) I found that I needed to hit 'scan' more than once.
Changing scales requires you to do math on the reported values.
BTW, for Scan, I think it requires a special firmware from Elecraft, but you would need to confirm they actually made the firmware public.

I have finished the display portion of the W2 wattmeter flow.
What control functionality would you like to see? Forward power meter in auto range or manually set? (I personally like auto range).
Sensor auto scan or manually selectable? Or a choice between the two?
What other controls?
Once I get some feedback I will be able to have a flow publicly available to test.

Bret- Re-boot the Pi, then if nothing, power cycle the W2 (unplug, plug back in).

I just need guidance on what people want for control of the meter.
I use the metering in the KPA1500. I kept monitoring and control simple, to what I need for remote operation. But the nice thing with Node Red is any avalable command or info returned can be displayed. It is just how crazy you want to go.
For the people new to Node Red, install it and load some flows to look at the different nodes ?nodes to see how we manipulate the data. Looking at examples helps to learn.
As always, ask questions here. Pretty much any equipment with serial, USB, or IP can be added.?

Hi Kevin,
Check out my flows in the file area on this group’s site. Read the readme which describes additional nodes you need to install and how to do it. Feel free to load up one of my flows to see examples on how it works. I have comment nodes (in white) for areas requiring customization for your particular station (IP addresses, etc).
An updated W2 watt meter flow will be posted later.

Reminder about message archive
Good morning all and welcome to our new members.
A reminder that your first post is moderated. We have three moderators in the group so message approval is usually pretty quick.
Second, archives of previously sent messages can be found at the Node Red for ham radio home page.
In there I have posted a very rough “How to” to help get people up and running. It is based on notes I took when I built a Node Red Pi from scratch.?
Anyway, enjoy and colaborate!

Very nice looking!?
Tomorrow I am going to revisit the parsing of the rfpower= slider value for current TX band. I thought about it earlier and have some fresh ideas.?
When you do a C44|sub tx all on v2.61 or newer firmware radios it returns all info in the TX Band Settings table so there are entries for rfpower= for every band. To top it off the stream returned can be broken into several streams and not always the same lengths or positions in the stream. I need to look for band specific info for the key phrase for parsing, then count the number of characters for the start, then number of characters to actually parse.
I mention this for those not familiar with parsing so they may learn.
I ran into a similar situation when we upgraded our 9-1-1 system here in the County back in 2009 (I was Technical Manager for the County 9-1-1 center). New Jersey uses the Zoo ALI format for ALI info (the name, address, etc info tied to your 10 digit phone number). A residential call ALI length is different than a cellular call. Also position of the fields shifts. The vendor’s parsing software was written for parsing by start position and length of field. I worked with them to rewrite the parsing to use line/start/length, but also use different parameters based on parsing the call type first. Just some background info.
The part of Node Red I find challenging and actually enjoy is learning the different nodes and all the ways to do things with functions. I need to learn node.js as it is very powerful in its capabilities. (And I am supposed to be retired!)

?Hi Mike,
The Smeter flow works using data coming from FRstack. I have no idea how to decode the smeter data stream that comes from the radio direct. VITA-49 is way over my head in coding to decode the data stream.
Let me know if you can pick it up from github here.?
I will add my other flows as time permits.

Re: parsing characters after specific text in a string - ideas?
The issue is the messages are not always the same length and the word rfpower= appears over 10 times. I need to look for a unique keyword for the portion pertaining to the transmit slice.?
The other option I have is to get band data from my amp flow (80 for example) then do an if then function where if (band == 80){ Msg.band = 80 }
Do that for all bands.?
Then look for band 2 in the stream and then parse the Number after rfpower=
Since the length and contents of the messages from the radio vary that is probably the best way.?

There are many other ways to do this in Javascript.
