[Elecraft] KPA500 P command not working from RPI and node red, any ideas?

2020-12-22 Thread Andy Durbin
My Arduino controller sends P.  Upper case P with no leading caret and no 
trailing semi-colon.  It transitions my KPA500 from "powered but off" to 
"powered and on" as long as the baud matches.  It's part of my power manager 
(If power manger needs KPA500 to be in OPER mode, but it is off, it turns it on 
then commands OPER mode).

I doubt the KPA500 cares what sends the P.

Andy, k3wyc

2020-12-22 Thread Lyn Norstad
Are you sending a " P " or a " ^P " ?  Both work for me from a PC.  But that's 
not the case with some of the commands.

To add to my previous email, if you check with the Hams on the Node Red
Amateur group in groups.io, someone will have a KPA500 flow that already
works.

Hi Dave

What is the display saying when you’re trying to power it up?. I had NodeRed 
code running for it just fine never had an issue with it.

I found at times I managed to get it into the binary upload mode which would 
mess it up.

[Elecraft] KPA500 P command not working from RPI and node red, any ideas?

2020-12-20 Thread davedkv
I've been trying all day to get the KPA500 to "wake up" with a P command sent
from a raspberry PI zero W running node red without success. Every other
command works perfectly.  If I hook up a laptop to the KPA500 it wakes up
every time using the KPA utility of course, anyone know what the difference
is?
