William,
FYI,
After updating to Ver 1.4.3.55, working remote from my laptop, when changing the band from 40 to 80 Meters, I got the screen display below
I still had control via the CMD Micro. After restarting the application, I was able to reproduce the error, again going from 40m to 80m.
I will try it on my desktop PC later on.

interesting, I will certainly check it out. I am still installing the new version. It wont be tonight, but I will get to the bottom of it. I suspect they changed something. Either way I will fix it.
I also see the image under the RF<>HP button is messed up. I will fix that also.

ok something must have changed. Something as simple as the order the information is received.
Does this effect operation of the CMD at all?

No, it still works0

Ok. I'm almost 100% sure I know what the issue is. I will investigate and let everyone know. And of course fix it

William, The nudge feature looks awesome. I am still waiting for my CMD Micro. With all the great effort you are putting in, by the time it arrives, I'll probably be on version 2.x.x.x....... Kudos! Duane0

Ok guys, I need help. I can not seem to reproduce the error yall are having. Can you please give me the exact steps? Please include any info such as how many slices open, frequencies, mode, etc.
Thanks
William

I can't seem to reproduce this error, but based on the screen shots I think I know what it is. Please try this revision and let me know

Version 1.9c work, no problems or bugs. I like the version history!
73, Alex DH2ID0 -
All found a bug in 1.9c, a null pointer exception can be triggered under the right conditions. Also I was reading in all available data from the radio and parsing it. However I should have been parsing each line separately. This may have also been the issue seen with the garbage on the screen in v1.9b. So please give this new version a try, and report any bugs found.

On a side note. I'm not sure if something changed in radio firmware, but I can now manipulate pan-adapter bandwidth via external program. Who would like panadapter zoom +/- option that can be swapped with the NR/NB buttons.

That would be very interesting, William. I don't use panadapter zoom
often, but somertimes it would be nice to look at the bigger picture,
or waterfall in this case ;-)
I just downloaded 1.9d and will report if there are problems.

It may be extremely useful for the digi/cw folks. I'll wait opinions before I commit to coding. Its not a hard task, but don't want to waste my time unless people really want it.

William we want all plus 10%
Get my CMD Saturday or Tuesday and Hercules goes back to Amazon :-)

I need more buttons LOL

Pressing a button long/short wouldn't be an option, I guess.0

Not really, it could be done, but it would be hard

William, I wonder about using a slider to do the zoom? You could program a couple of reasonable limits of pan width and correlate them to the control value. Or is the access you have one that is a simple +/- like the buttons on the SSDR interface?
BTW: I have thought about using a timing loop to create a short/long press control button on my Hercules, but haven't had time to get to it. Almost anything is possible, if you want to spend the time to program it!0 -
Ken, your idea is much better than mine! An option to use the balance (or any other) slider should be possible.0
-
I finished coding the swap for NB/NR <> Pan Bandwidth. I'm getting too quick at this.
Uploading now! Will post link shortly
William0 -
I'll try this! Another idea: Setting up one of the buttons (one seldom used, VOX?)
as a swap or function button would make it possible to give all buttons two
functions.0 -
All,
I considered this, but you need to start from current bandwidth. Using a slider would cause the screen to jump. It's best to query the radio for current bandwidth and just add or subtract to that value.
My current test code I just uploaded works real good, and I think y'all will like it.
What would be best to use is a encoder dial. But there is only one available on the micro. And I think swapping out the mode button is not a good idea. Most people will set NB/NR and leave it. But they may change mode and bandwidth often.
If I had one more button I would do a shift function. Maybe in a future release I will remove CWX3 and make it a shift button. With shift pressed CWX 1-2 becomes 3-4, and NB/NB becomes bandwidth. This is a bigger change and may add it at some point.

Man, I have done myself a major disservice by not reading this thread before! You have made some pretty incredible progress with these external controllers! I haven't read through the whole thread yet, but had to comment and give you some kudos.
So...have you thought about using this controller? Same company, so may not be hard to interface with? Might be good for folks who only use one vfo primarily? Not even sure if it'd be compatible with what you are doing.

Yeah, great mind...thanks, will tell my wife!0
