KPOD toggle macros?
Locked
 
|
I'm finally back to working with my KPOD and some macros.
Has anyone figured out how to do a toggle similar to what can be done on the K3 front panel? I have a toggle on the K3 for doing my split up1 sequence and a second activation turns it all off. I'm looking to toggle DIGOUT1 which will switch between my vertical and an inverted V. A second one will be used to drive an aux out on the KPOD which will toggle my RX array direction. 73 Jim ab3cv ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

Jim,
That is "tricky and potentially dangerous". The problem with toggles is that Macros do not know the current state of things, and the state cannot be interrogated using Macros because Macros do not include "IF Then" logic. If you are looking at the display you can usually tell the state, but a Macro cannot. A Macro can always initiate a button tap or hold using the "SWT or SWH" commands if not by other explicit commands, so yes, you can do it, but work in a logical manner to determine "which is what" and the logical sequence for one macro initiating another. It may be easier to do something like that with 2 macros. The advent of the K-Pod increased the number of Macros from 8 to 16, so it may be better to initiate the SPLIT with the tap of a button and cancel the split with a hold of that same button (2 separate macros). 73, Don W3FPR On 5/2/2017 5:32 PM, Jim Miller wrote: > I'm finally back to working with my KPOD and some macros. > > Has anyone figured out how to do a toggle similar to what can be done on the K3 front panel? > > I have a toggle on the K3 for doing my split up1 sequence and a second activation turns it all off. > > I'm looking to toggle DIGOUT1 which will switch between my vertical and an inverted V. > > A second one will be used to drive an aux out on the KPOD which will toggle my RX array direction. > Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

I'm still waiting for the same thing, I think a part of it is that the k3 does not haveenough macros as each one of the 16 are already assigned to the KPOD buttons.

A work around is to make the two macros as you do now (chaining one to the other), assign them to two macro positions in the K3 and then assign them to one of the programmable function keys (like you do now). Then, assign another of the K3 macros to tap or hold the function key (I know, there goes another macro position) and then use the KPOD associated with that macro to activate it. So you have to use 3 K3 macros instead of 2.
Again, the term KPOD macro is a misnomer. There aren't any macros in the KPOD, just the ability to use the KPOD switches to execute the K3 macros associated with that switch.

No PFx left. I'll stick with separate buttons or tap/hold for now.
Thanks all for saving me a bunch of dead end time.

The problem with that is if you hold the button too long you mess up the macro.

Hi all,
The Kpod currently has no facility to do much more than initiate a key tap / hold with no facility to interrogate. This I believe will all change when the ability to control the PC feature is enabled / built as then PC applications can be built to send what ever command is required to the K3 and that will include getting a status back on which a decision can be taken. The big question therefore is when is the PC control function likely to be made available? 73 de Tony G6GLP --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |
