Remote hardware box to read antenna switch status and switch antennas
OH1KK opened this issue · 3 comments
Improvement idea based on Kenneth / SM0OHC feedback.
The kiwi extension though don't allow for antenna switching
when another extension is active.Of course you could open another browser-window and send the commands.
However, how difficult is it to make the arduino code for controlling
instead of receiving commands ?
That is 8 pushbuttons and 8 led's for status and the 28J60.
ant-switch-daemon is telnet daemon so you can execute antenna switch commands from telnet
Work in progress
Todo: arduino code, telnet code cleanup and documentation
Reminder. Telnet code for arduino https://playground.arduino.cc/Code/Telnet
Making arduino controller is now possible since antenna can now be selected from http url. Make your arduino to make http request using buttons
button 1: http://my.kiwisdr.org/?ext=ant,1
button 2: http://my.kiwisdr.org/?ext=ant,2
button 3: http://my.kiwisdr.org/?ext=ant,3
and so on.
Reading antenna status is currently unavailable, so status info for leds is missing.
But one step forward.
