Solution exporting VHF frequency

[Gremlin77]

Hi,

 

I worked on exporting the VHF digits of A-10 to my SIOC 7-segment display.

 

I managed to export them by the device:get_argument_value and get a nice number on Variable 1 of SIOC using it for exporting to 7 segments.

 

If someone is interested, here's the export.lua (merged file for helios and sioc)

 

The only changes are in the function ProcessArguments(device, arguments) part

 

Have fun an go on working :music_whistling:

Export.lua

Thanks for posting, Gremmlin. Was looking for Freq handling reference

Thank you!

found a better way to export and import the frequency.

 

just use the get_frequency and set_frequency functions of the radio devices and send them to sioc

 

so easy, if i knew earlier......

Actually your original was the right one. The get_frequency gives you the currently tuned frequency which is different than the one displayed on the radio itself. For example if you are modifying presets the dials on the radio do not match what is actually tuned on the radio.
