Button/encoder indices follow Thetis MakeNewAndromedaDataset (our 0-based
index = Thetis Number - 1), verified against andromeda_test/AndDecode.pas.
The old map assumed sequential 0,1,2.. and truncated at 32; the real panel
sends sparse indices up to 47.
- AndromedaMap: AND_MAX_BUTTONS 32->48, renumbered button/encoder tables;
new actions abVFOAtoB/abVFOBtoA/abVFOLock/abStartStop/abShift.
- RadioController: VFO Lock (FVfoLock, rfVfoLock, SetVfoLock, gate in
TuneActiveBy).
- AndromedaPanel: wire A>B/B>A/SDR-ON/Lock; Shift band-keypad layer
(#28 latch, #29..39 -> SetBand 160m..6m, non-sticky); aiVFOLock/aiShift
indicators.
- Filter High/Low (#4/#5) left as width approximation per decision.
- doc/ANDROMEDA.md updated.

Bidirectional Apache Labs Andromeda/G2 front-panel protocol on top of CAT.
Panel logic lives in dedicated units; existing files get only thin hooks.
New units:
- AndromedaMap.pas — data only: action enums + default button/encoder
layout tables and LED (ZZZI) numbers (mirroring the Thetis defaults)
- AndromedaPanel.pas — TAndromedaPanel: inbound panel events -> controller
actions (marshalled via Invoke), state subscription -> ZZZI push via SendProc
Hooks:
- CATEngine: parse ZZZD/ZZZU/ZZZE/ZZZP/ZZZS into generic TCATContext callbacks
- CATAdapter: creates the panel, routes engine callbacks to it, supplies the
SendProc to the Andromeda port, AddStateListener, ZZZS handshake
- CATSerial: Andromeda flag in port config + HasAndromeda/SendToAndromeda
- RadioController: AddStateListener (multicast, does not steal MainForm's
OnStateChanged)
- Settings/SettingsForm/MainForm: CATSerialAndromeda[0..3] + persistence + checkbox
First version: serial transport, hardcoded default mapping, LED indicators
(MOX/Tune/CTUN/VFO A-B/Split/NB/NR/SNB/ANF/Squelch). Doc: doc/ANDROMEDA.md.
TODO: default button mapping does not match the physical panel (hardcoded) —
to be fixed later; also ZZMF/LCD text, TCP G2V2 transport, configurable mapping.
