I wanted to update all interested in this software development on its progress...
All the "behind the scenes" coding is complete: *The software communicates accurately with PowerSDR through the CAT port (you'll need a virtual COM pair and/or DDutil set up to use) *Toggle-style CAT Commands work perfectly (i.e., anything in the CAT dictionary that is switch via an enable/disable instruction -- e.g., MON, etc.) *Level-style CAT Commands work perfectly (i.e., anything in the CAT dictionary whose level can be bumped up or down -- e.g., AF Gain, etc) *Jog dial speed and acceleration/deceleration work perfectly (for fixed or variable stepping of the VFO's) *Shuttle ring/dial works perfectly (for variable stepping of the VFO's without requiring rotational speed) *Control press and hold/repeat works perfectly (for auto-repeating of commands when a control is held down) *Control "chording" is coded and functionality is possible for future releases *Completely separate CAT actions for a control press as opposed to a control release is coded and functionality is possible for future releases *Full visual feedback of control operation is complete (for control testing, control setup and control diagnostic) With this progress achieved, I'll be moving on to the User Interface of the application, which will be used to configure/setup the control. It'll feature presets for assigning most common CAT commands as well as custom CAT command entry/assignment for those needs that are specific to a particular radio amateur. I'm trying to focus on an intuitive UI design so that support issues are minimized if not even existent. I will be looking to enlist some beta testers -- NOT YET --, but in the near future. I'll post an appropriate solicitation to the reflector WHEN I am ready. *Bradley KK2QQ _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/
