Flex Radio Selector


 

I need help testing a new Flex Radio Select Flow.

Previous Flex Radio selectors used gate nodes to switch the Flex Connection nodes and the Discovery Packets, with each manually configured.

I took a more straightforward approach using the "Dynamic" mode built into Stephen's Flex Nodes.

The available radios will broadcast their nicknames in my flow, and I use that to build a pull-down selector. ?The selected radio connects that radio to Node-Red Flex Nodes.

Pushing the "Disconnect" button disconnects the radio.

Only the selected Radio's Discovery Packets are seen at the Discovery Packet Out link.

I only have one radio, but I tested it with a "fake" Flex radio. ?Can some of you two Flex operators test my flow?

The flow is attached.

Just a thought, ?if I start NR ?then open SmartSDR , the flows only show connected, the client (my call) does not work. ?I do a refresh on the browser and NR restart , still no good windows 10 .?
But if I start the radio and SmartSDR first then ?start NR all works great, my call is there also, now If I connect via iPhone and desktop, that does not work ? ?Flex 6600 3.3 version.
I tried doing a start up Node , timestamp node ?

If interested in troubleshooting I can take video with the process.

Thanks, Al

Yes, I knew someone had made a gate-based client selector, but I could not recall.

Bret has installed my Dynamic Flex Node version and reports it works very well.

If you get a chance, could you take a look?
