Re: Topband: Beverage selector switch via IP

[Eugene Popov /RA0FF/ via Topband]

All information, files, programs are on their website. Including there is 
software for smartphones.
I also use 8 Ports IP Relay to control the switching of my Beverages. I 
downloaded the software (written in C +, but I'm not sure, I'm not a 
programmer), my modest knowledge was enough to make the program for myself, now 
I have an icon (measuring 3 by 7 centimeters) from 8 diggers on my computer 
screen.

Hi Trevor,

It is very well described in the PST user manual, but can be a bit confusing.
First of all you create a second “instance" of PST rotator. (or however many 
you need.)
Under settings select “Relay board”
When you do this it will open another window called ‘Relays”
On that Relay window, under setup click Relays and you will see all the 
possible relays that will work with the program. In my case I select the 
Denkovi product. (Note that the KMtronic WEB board will be truly IP addressable 
which is best if you don't control the station from the PC at the remote like I 
do via TeamViewer.)
Then select board setup to configure the USB addy or IP addy connection.
Then select “automatic control setup” and a new window pops up…in that window 
select Azimuth. There you select which relay is what direction. (notice you can 
also select time as a selection parameter or band etc for other functions)
Finally, back on the relay setup make sure you select “automatic control” ie 
toggle it ON

Codrut, YO3DMU is **very** responsive and will respond right away via email 
with any questions.

Can you give so more info on how the PST software works/connects to the board, 
I use it to turn my rotator but have never seen any option to control anything 
else in it,

Thanks

Like RA0FF I use the Denkovi 8 relay USB board together with the PST rotor 
control software that provides a standard rotor control interface. Point and 
shoot at the direction with the mouse to select the direction. The PST rotor 
software includes software to communicate with the Denkovi boards as well as 
others. I use two of these at the remote station for selecting both Beverage

Ты можешь зарубежному народу объяснить, что с таким их безразличием к

ничего:

Hi Herb,
https://denkovi.com/  
For many years I use simple and reliable devices of this manufacturer.
Including for remote control of the radio station.

For these devices there is a ready-made free software, as well as software that 
you can customize for yourself, everything is available.

Hi Herb,

A simple microcontroller equipped with an ethernet phy (such as 
RasperryPI) is what I use. It needs a bit of coding, but Python is 
pretty simple for that.
