    Programmatic access to LED's

    Member ✭✭
    in FlexControl

    I am programming against my FlexControl for fun, and I've figured out the serial text I get back from it when the knob turns, buttons pressed, etc.

    I cannot figure out what command to send to turn the LED's on and off. Can anyone point me to a reference? Unable to find so far...

    Thanks and 73!

      I think that I understand your question

      Pushing on the AUX buttons activates the programed function and appropriate LED. Rotating the knob adjusts the enabled function. The tuning knob also has a switch associated with it. Push straight in on the tuning knob to cancel the AUX-1 through 3 functions and LEDs. The knob now changes the radio's frequency.

      Yes, that's when SmartSDR is connected to the control. When you press a button, SmartSDR "does the thing" you configured the button to be, but it also sends a command to the flexControl to turn on the LED. The control does not turn on its LED's by itself.

      I am writing code that talks to the FlexControl to do other things, and I need to know what that "turn the LED on" command is that SmartSDR is sending to the FlexControl.

    Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
