Environment Setup

Of course you can type scripts directly into your phone, but that's far from ideal. If you plan on writing anything more than a couple of lines in length, taking five minutes to setup a development environment will pay dividends.

Using a web browser will allow the debugging of scripts by stepping through the code during execution, and examining values in real-time from your computer.

  1. Install a text editor with syntax hilighting and error checking. If you don't already have a suitable editor, Visual Studio Code is a great choice, and it's free.
  2. Download the QMX CAT programming manual from QRP Labs - QMX.
  3. Using your browser of choice, open Figaro's web app and setup a connection to your QMX.
  4. Open DevTools and verify that you can view console output.

You're now ready to create your first script.
