Clickable Azimuthal map flow for PSTRotatorAZ
Tormod's range pointer flow has been one of the more popular threads we have had.
I see most of you are building the image file and then copying the result into the function. I have not yet tried this new flow, but, I have been working with a new set of nodes that work with image files. The "jimp-image" node will read an image file, format the file per your pre-set configuration, and send it out as a msg.xyx, or a context variable. ?One of you might be interested in combining the ability to select the desired image and then send it to Tormod's function to build the map underlay image string. This way, you could have selectable map underlay images, for showing your rotor pointers. Here is a link to the flows: ? ? Alan WA9WUD |
开云体育Now this is fun stuff! I've modified the map and took a screen
shot of the rotator in motion. For those not familiar the red beam
is the destination point and the green beam is the rotator's
location, the two do meet. I'm so glad I finally got to use an
EA4TX ARS-USB interface I pick in Dayton 2014, it's been sitting
collecting dusk for almost six years. Thanks to the messages in
this forum I picked up the message that noted the IP address that
goes into the UDP Control setup should be the local IP that is
running Node-Red, not the IP address of computer running
PSTRotator. To some playing to figure out SVG editor but I guess
that's what we do, lol. I also created a few more maps using Adobe Photoshop (easier for
me) so I can save as layers. Working on making the map swichable,
until then I just duplicated the flow so just have to scroll down
to it. 73,

开云体育I just updated my rotor flow to the clickable azimuth map. I was also able to change the map to one with callsign prefixes labeled on the map. You can click a preset button, enter the azimuth directly or click on a prefix on the azimuth world map.?Send me your lat/Lon coordinates and I will customize it for you. 73 Dave wo2x On Feb 20, 2021, at 12:51 AM, Bobby Lacey <rllacey@...> wrote:

Bobby Do you use PST Rotor to command your EA4TX ARSVCOM? ? Dave's flow uses PST Rotor as the "server" to get the rotor and demand position?from the rotor controller.? So...if you use PST Rotor, you can use Dave's flow as is.

开云体育If anyone would like a new azimuth map for the flow based on your location you can send me a direct email. The new map has the country prefixes on the map and with the modified rotor flow which uses the code Tormod provided the map is clickable. Just click on a prefix on the map and the antenna turns ? ? Thank you Tormod, LA9VKA. Very nice work. ? You can also use the flow to modify it for Yaesu GS232 protocol by just changing the commands sent. ? Here’s a picture of the new azimuth map I use. ? ? 73 Dave wo2x ? ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Alan Blind, WA9WUD

Thanks to Tormod for showing us the SVG node and thanks to Dave, WO2X for showing us how to build maps. ?I have incorporated the SVG flow and map into my rotor control.
I have a few "requests" if Tormod, Dave or other can assist. I am rotating a SteppIR yagi, with Forward, Bi-directional, and Reverse modes. ?Can/how may I add a third beam? ? The Third beam would show up when in the "Bi-Directional" mode. ?(Beam 1 > Target, Beam 2 > Forward heading, and Beam 3 Reverse heading. ?I am using Node-Red to get the SteppIR mode info and input beam heading to the Forward and/or the Reverse Beams. Also, can I change the map based other Node-Red parameters. ?I am thinking I want to have a US Map and a World Map, depending on the range to the Target Station. Alan WA9WUD |
