Hi Eric, The radio uses UDP for discovery and for audio/video (Vita-49 protocol). All else goes via the TCP/IP API.

Take a look at the API documents to get an idea of how it works.

There is also a C# FlexLib that you can use to access the API from a Windows DotNet environment. I recommend this if you are programming for Windows.

FlexLib: Class List (flexradio.com)

Node Red is also available. Dave, WO2X and Alan, WA9WUD have built some sophisticated flows for Node Red that you might be able to capitalize on. Sorry, I don't have a working link for Node Red at the moment, but someone here can point you in the right direction if you ask.

They are defined here in the wsjt-x source code and there are examples also on sourceforge.

NetworkMessage.txt

I couldn't paste the link. But just put https at the beginning should get you there.

Good Luck

Sorry wrong hpp file, I added the right one. Starts around like 117 or so.

Ok thanks I found that the payload in the UDP message is ADIF format. It threw me as it looks a bit like JSON but isn’t. Fortunately CloudLog expects ADIF wrapped in a JSON envelope.
