Thanks Les and Marc0,
I tried this quickly before work and ran into this problem "NameError: global name 'convert_freq_to_bytes' is not defined"
I study some other drivers after work to see if I can find something similar to mimic. Here is how I am trying to use it just in case you can spot what I am doing wrong.
I've added 2 "elif" bits of code to the set_settings procedure
def set_settings(self, settings): _settings = self._memobj.settings[0] for element in settings: if not isinstance(element, RadioSetting): self.set_settings(element) continue elif element.get_name() == "vfoa.freq": convert_freq_to_bytes(self._memobj.vfoa.freq, element.value) elif element.get_name() == "vfob.freq": convert_freq_to_bytes(self._memobj.vfob.freq, element.value) try:
Then I placed the following just ahead of my menu item
def convert_freq_to_bytes(real_freq): bytes = [ 0 for x in range(0,8) ] # init list with 8 times 0 real_freq = int(freq * 100000) # it has to be integer for i in range(7, -1, -1): # go from 7 to 0 bytes[i] = real_freq%10 # extract last digit real_freq /= 10 # throw away last digit return bytes
When I got the "not defined" error, I moved it above "def set_settings(self, settings):" but got the same "not defined".
