Hi. Name is Charlie KB8CR. I am new to Node-Red, but have some experience with Raspberry Pi.?
Equipment here is a Flex 6400, a Flex 3000, and an Icom 7100. (all in a rack cabinet in the basement below the study (shack)
I use a KMTronics Web relay (8 port) which does the following from its web interface:
-Turn 6400 on/off (soft on/off from RCA jack on back)
-Turn 3000 on/off (hard relay switching)
-Switches another relay board to switch antenna (coaxial relay) from 6400 to 3000, Switches local Speaker output from 6400->3000, and local PTT from 6400->3000
-Turns power to 7100 on/off (it is on a separate HF antenna system)
-Switches VHF/UHF antenna (coaxial relay) between 7100 and a scanner.
The 6400 is usually controlled by a i5 Lenovo Mini PC (Win10-64bit), and the 3000 by a MacMini i5 running Win10-64bit because it has a firewire port for the 3000.
Both computers are used headless via VNC.
What I would like to do is have a 'dashboard' that controls the KMtronic relays, displays the Power, SWR, and Temps of the 6400 (and 3000 if that's possible)
Future items would be to control a KPA500 amplifier, and perhaps a KAT500 tuner.? (right now antennas are tuned by SGC tuners mounted at the feedpoints of the antennas.?
Remote audio and CW keying for the 3000 is done with Remoterig boxes from Sweeden.
Are there tutorial videos anywhere?.....or are there 'pre-done' modules for the 6400 or 3000 (or that KMtronic relay boar) here (or somewhere)?
Thanks,
de Charlie KB8CR
