[Elecraft] Raspberry Pi Ham Programs

[Dave]

I am using a Pi running Buster OS. It is running Node Red which is a graphical programming interface to control and connect IoT devices. I have written a flow to control and monitor my KPA1500 remotely from any web browser. This includes peak reading wattmeter, SWR, temperature, operate/standby, antenna selection, power on/off, and any trip alarms. Any other function for the amp can be added. 

I also have flows which control my rotor, complete with presets and manual entry along with beam hearing display. 

A flow for a Data Logger Web Switch Pro which allows me to turn equipment on and off remotely as well as pinging a couple of sites to ensure the Internet connection is up. If it fails to ping either site for at least 10 minutes it reboots the cable modem, router, and management PC I have on the network. 

Last, it interrogated my radio (not Elecraft but you can modify for Elecraft CAT) and it sends TX frequency in UDP XML document packets to W1TR’s HF Auto program and Green Heron Everywhere antenna switch. 

Anyone interested just email me direct. My email is good on QRZ. 

Very handy when operating remote.
