LP100A-UDP-Bridge by OE3IDE

Ernst

To bring the data from the Telepost LP100A to Thetis (or as alternative for the original VCP) , I have written a small tool called “LP100A-UDP-Bridge”.

The tool connects via serial port to your LP100A controller and sends the received data (fwd, reflected pwr, swr,z, phase) via UDP (XML) to a specific port. You can disable UDP output via settings – to use it standalone.

In Thetis you can setup a Multi Meter I/O connection (UDP, direction “in”, format XML). The data can be used in the MultiMeter system.

A big THANKS to Richie, MW0LGE, who has implemented all this amazing features into Thetis!

  1. Dear Sir,
    Thank you for your many software.

    Would you be kind enough to develop also the LP-500/LP-700?

    1. Hi,
      unfortunatly I don’t have a LP500/700. And usualy I write only software for gear I have in the shack.

  2. Hi, Is it possible to change the speed on the serial port? I have an old LP100 and it runs at 38400Bd.
    You’re doing a great job.
    Thanks

  4. Ernst, I’m sorry, but your LP100 bridge doesn’t work on 3840Bd. But the original VCP is OK. I don’t know where I’m wrong.
