Remote hardware box to read antenna switch status and switch antennas #27

Open OH1KK opened 6 years ago

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.
