ACOM 1200s and Nodered


 

Hello to all,?

i'm looking for a nodered flow for the ACOM1200s.
Has anyone already played with that amplifire and nodered?

Louis,
Following is link to json I wrote to interface with my ACOM 600S serial port.? This was less expensive than using the ACOM e-Box ethernet interface (for 600S, 700S, 1200S, ...) selling for US$599.? Take a look at the file posted in October.? I don't know if the 1200S and 600S have exactly the serial protocol.

Hi George,?
i'm just playing around with my Acom1200s and Nodered...
Your Json flow interface works well, i already got the Power, SWR and Standby/Operate working.
Now i need some help, with how to turn the Acom ON&OFF via the Interface. Maybe you know the right buffer-command for that?

Thanks & 73 Louis

Louis,
I have attached two ACOM documents regarding amp control.? ?Note that the amp can only be turned "OFF" (not "ON") through the serial port as the control module is now "off".? See page 29 (part 5.1) pf the Seral Communications reference for the off command.? Byte 5 of the 8-byte command string is changed to 0x0A and byte 8 is changed to the correct chksum (in this case dec 23) as a result of changing byte 5.? New buffer string would be [55,81,8,2,255,10,0,23].

The attached Remote Power reference describes 3 methods for ON/OFF control of the amp using either the CAT port or Serial port handshaking.? Since I have no need for remote on/off control I have not explored this.?

Let me know if I can answer any other questions.

Regards and 73,

George
