Updated API commands for 8000 series?

edited January 23 in SmartSDR API

Greetings,

I was looking at https://github.com/flexradio/smartsdr-api-docs/wiki/SmartSDR-TCPIP-API (which I believe is the official source) for TCPIP API commands. The documentation might not be up to date (or perhaps the things I am thinking of are not available via the API).

I was wanting to look at the built in GNSS/GPS receiver to query it for how many satellites are visibale/locked, and any other data that might be accessible. While I can query the NTP server built into the 8000 (works well), not sure if there are API commands to get the current time/date from the radio.

There maybe other things I am not sure I want to access yet :) .

So the question is, is there a list of updated API commands for the 8000 series of radios?

Thanks,

Bill

    The GPS info comes through in gps status messages. This is not currently documented in the wiki, but I've added a task to do this (SMART-10832). In the meantime, the easiest way to get this information is to use Wireshark to watch the communication with SmartSDR. You'll see the GPS status messages and will see how they are formatted.

    I got the GPS info using node-red, Iooking at the flexradio-message, with the topic "gps"

    payload.gnss_powered_ant

    payload.lon

    payload.lat

    payload.time

    payload.tracked

    payload.visible

    payload.track

    payload.grid

    payload.altitude

    payload.freq_error

    payload.speed

    Here is my slice info showing the GPS data when button selected

    Very good. I suppose I could have gone went the NodeRed type approach, but silly me wanted to consult the documentation. Nice looking display btw.

    I will say firing up Wireshark certainly answered my questions. Not sure why I didn't start there (I have done so in the past for general observing purposes). Now I can grab the data any method I choose. Also if I have other questions, I suppose watching the wire should answer them… Teach a man to fish, and all that.

    Updating the documentation is probably a good thing regardless though.
