[Hamlib-developer] Introduction and Question about S-Meter-Reading

[Richard E. <DO...@ho...>]

Hello.


My name is Richard. I have been blind since birth and am currently 
working on a project that uses Hamlib to develop a system that helps 
blind individuals, especially those who are not very computer-savvy, to 
operate amateur radio transceivers. Particularly, people who have lost 
their sight later in life and older individuals often lack the ability 
to adapt to the changed situation and therefore require special assistance.

A Raspberry Pi hosts the Hamlib, transceiver functions can be controlled 
via a connected numeric keypad, and a speech output reads everything aloud.
Optionally, a MIDI controller can be connected to control the functions 
of the radio device.
Anyone interested in seeing the current progress of the project and 
willing to provide tips on how I might use some Hamlib functions more 
effectively is welcome to visit https://github.com/do9re/midi2hamlib .


My first question concerns reading the S-meter on a transceiver. As I 
understand it, the STRENGTH level provides this information.

But where can I find a conversion table that tells me which S-level 
corresponds to the read value?


I am excited to be part of the Hamlib family and look forward to a good 
exchange.
