KPA1500 Display Color

I just purchased a KPA1500; I had been using a KPA500. It was "plug and
play!" I disconnected the 500 and plugged in the 1500, updated the firmware
and everything worked. Only have used for a day, but I already love it.

One exception, the color of the display. It's light blue, as opposed to the
yellow/orange of the 500 and the K3. I did a quick read of the manual, nil,
and did a Google on changing the color, also nil.

Is there a way to change the display color to match the K3? Or, am I stuck
with light blue?

Re: KPA1500 Display Color

I use a software called Node Red running on a Raspberry Pi talking to the KPA1500 on the network. This allows me to control and monitor the amp from a web browser. Customizable colors and layout.

This will also come in handy for those who run their radios remote.
I find I use it more than looking at the amp or using the remote app.

I have a picture of the Node Red layout on my QRZ page.

Wow

Dave has really spiffed up his Node-Red control panel. :) I need to do
some work on mine.

I have done the same thing to control my KPA500.

As there is no 'off the shelf' remote control solution, using a PI, some
bits and Node-Red is the next best thing. You can do it even if you don't
own a soldering iron.

Very nice set up, Dave.

But what really caught my eye is that you have 2 kitties with exactly the same colorings as ours.

Must be a ham thing, only in our case the tiger kitty is 'Da Boss.'
