Virtual K4 application -- sneak preview

[wayne burdick]

Those of you who saw Eric's Friday presentation got a brief look at one part of our K4 remote control effort -- a 100% emulation of the K4 front panel called Virtual K4, or "VK4" for short. (Yes, it would even work on Fitzroy Island if you had an internet connection.) This is in addition to direct K4-to-K4 control.

Th VK4 application will eventually run on multiple platforms, including pads and laptops. It will support direct touch as well as mouse control, including the very useful mouse wheel for adjusting simulated rotary controls. We're fleshing out the various data streams including audio, panadapter, and CW keying. Of course third-party developers are free to create their own interfaces using the K4's extensive remote-control command set.

If you missed it, here's a directly link to the Virtual K4 concept drawing. You can also get to it on our K4 page, in the "K4 Updates" section.

(The sharp-eyed will notice a few features in the app that don't appear on the K4 front panel itself.)

If you have comments or suggestions, feel free to send them to me directly or discuss on your favorite list.

Note: In general we post everything of interest to the primary Elecraft reflector (this list). Postings to other lists may be more sporadic, so be sure to check here as well.

My pleasure. Perhaps it would work as a stained-glass window, too :)

It's not lost on me that it is a 4K resolution image. My Ham shack
monitor is a 43" 4K TV just waiting patiently for a K4 kit.

 What is the native resolution of the K4's 7" TFT and what will it support via the HDMI output?

I'm a no down payment order and have no idea when my order will ship. I can't
imagine when the kit versions will be available. :-)
