In this episode the tables are turned and George, KJ6VU, becomes the special guest. The topic is how he designed his station control system. The station controller is used to monitor and control key components in your remotely controlled ham radio station. The station controller can also be used to monitor and control a repeater system or any other critical equipment.
We will discuss what you need for effective remote station control, how George went about designing his control system and how it works. Topics include the system architecture, circuit and physical design and selection of key components like the microcontrollers that run the system and the node red software environment that provides the user interface.
The station controller will eventually be offered as a commercial product for sale through his company Sierra Radio Systems.
