Clickable Azimuthal map flow for PSTRotatorAZ


 

After Codrut almost instantly implemented my request for target reporting via udp I'we updated my rotator map and It's now uploaded under LA9VKA flows in files.
This flow requires the new version released today (13.89) to view target direction.

Azimuth map needs to be 500x500 pixels and can easily be replaced using the builtin editor in the svg node or replacing the base64 string.

UDP out node must be changed to the right ip address.

Great. Tried it, and it works. For the moment it has its own tab on the dashboard because main tab is already crowded.

I have installed Tormod’s flow and paired it with my rotor flow. Very nice!

I'm trying to do the same, but can't find where to adjust my location.

Hi Santiago.?

You need to create an azimuth map for your location then import it into the SVG node in Node Red.?

I can create it for you if you like.?

Thanks Dave, kind of got to that conclusion once I looked at it closely, already created the map and I'm in the process to import it. I will let you know if I find an issue.

Make sure it is 500 x 500 pixels. You can use Microsoft Paint to resize it. Then save as PNG file.?

Great addition! Thanks for sharing.

Here is my version showing the actual antenna pattern width.



 

If you want to convert the image to a transparent background, I use this online editor.



 

After a couple of swing and misses I got it. Created the file and found how to import it. I configured the zoom/pane features and the coordinates on mouse over. Great addition to dashboard.

It's possible to zoom in and have a US (or anywhere) map also. Both maps can be functional at the same time if desired.


 

Interesting. How do you do it? Duplicate the Svg node? Will try it tomorrow.

Yes, just duplicate the Svg node and use a different map. I ended up adding duplicate controls also and then put the US map on another page. I can then select if I want the World or just the US heading display.


 

Thanks, just did it with same map to try. Will come up with a different map of interest tomorrow.

good night.

Gary, followed same principle but created a different map to sort of have a different perspective. It is a bit off center but close enough for the purposes of having an idea.

For the azimuth map, once I have created it in PDF format I import it to Microsoft Word. I convert to Word document then I can delete the header info leaving just the map. I right click the map and save as PNG. Next edit the PNG file in MS Paint and resize to 500 x 500 pixels.

I decided to leave the header as a reference at hand. Another way to eliminate the header is to create the map on pdf and use snipping tool to select the desired area (no headers) and save the snip as PNG, then edit in MS Paint for resizing.

Good to hear you have it working.
Other image sizes are possible by changing some of the function code.
