I am trying to make 2 new drivers for 2 new products both with RS232. On both i have manage to get the.PDF containing the ACII codes attached in this post, and I have tried them to decimal and use them in the driver. But I am unable to get it to work. So I need some serious help regarding the conversion to be sure it is right.
When trying to see how other drivers work they have a $ before the 2 decimal numbers so I am not sure what the proper conversion is. Maybe its not decimal but something else? Its not HEX as I get error when trying to use this. Also what is best practice to chose when making a DAC driver? And a Pre-Amp driver?
You'll want to make sure that you are using the latest Setup Wizard (click on picture). Ensure that your music. Music Driver Control4 Summit Music Driver.
Just use a Receiver as base and remove some features? If someone could convert say the 'off' command and tell me how I would be very happy. And i will make the rest and share them here with you all.
Thank you all! C4 handles ASCII, HEX or Binary codes or even mix and match in a single line - don't bother converting For ASCII you just need to set the ASCII code in quotation marks Power On for the Electrocompaniet: '#PON' This does not seem to work. I did with the ' marks in front and back of this, but it does not work. It is connected to the RS232 output 2 of the HC800, and I have in connection made this connection.
But is there something else I am missing? I have also set the baudrate to 9600, thats what the manual says at least. That should be correct as far as the code goes - indeed if the syntax was incorrect it would throw up an error. You could try: '#PON/r' or '#PON'/r (forgot which is correct - but the wizard will let you know). In addition do check the other settings (bitstop, parity etc) as well. Last but not least, looking at the documentation, it's a bit confusing I think. It states to use a straight-through cable with a PC, but also states that its an RS232C port - THAT means a cross-over (or nullmodem) connection - I'd try both types if I were you.
For the other unit, try using instead of 'actual' spaces. As for not working on a controller - I'd test using a different controller to eliminate issues there - and make sure that all the Macros you need are filled in - not just the 'codes' Ok so I'm back on trying now. But this does not work.
I have been using on the PC to send commands with a USB-RS232 adapter. This works on the EC product as said earlier, but the Parasound is no luck sending anything. So i feel I'm dead in the water on this product. I think I will have to send a mail to Parasound asking if this manual is complete or something missing. Update: I got hold of a Global Cache IP2SL. Tested it on my own system towards a Marantz receiver and it worked beautiful.
Went down to the client and started testing, nothing. Ok so then I started backtracking and testing more. At hand I have: - Straight Trough RS232 cable - Nullmodem RS232 cable - Gender changer adapter - Nullmodem adapter - USB to RS232 - From the PC with the USB to RS232 I am able to send On/Off commands with various combinations of adapters and cables. When plugging the USB to RS232 from the PC onto the GC product and then send a On/Off command from C4 I am able to sniff the commands, so the commands comming from the C4/GC is correct. But when I try different combinations of cables/adapters from GC to the EC DAC I am not able to turn the device On/Off. This just doesn't make any sense, as the same commands works from the PC and the same commands are being sent from the GC. What is going on here???
I did some more testing from the PC and in Termite I can change a little on how the command/text is sent from the PC to the device. I can transmit text as: 1. Append nothing (transmitt text as is) 2.
Append CR (Transmit the text and append a carriage return (ASCII 13)) 3. Append LF (Transmit the text and append a new-line character (ASCII 10)) 4. Append CR-LF (Transmit the text and append a carriage return and a new-line character (ASCII 10 +13)) Trying to send the command with 1 selected nothing happens. Sending as 2, 3 or 4 and the device goes On/Off. So can it be that C4 sends the command as plain text not as ASCII?

Is there a way for me to change this? How can I send the command #PON as ASCII 10 or 13? Update2: I have also used the iTest provided from GC to send commands directly from GC to the unit and that does work as well so there should not be any cable problems here. The problem seems to be how C4 is handling this.
