Hello,

I’m trying to control an Epson projector via esc/vp21 tcp protocol.

It requires a connection command to open the connection. 
Than I can send various command to pj. 
if I do it manually( menu function-send) it works perfectly, but if I try to put it in a program to check and do automatically connection it does’t work.  Seems basic device do tcp connection. So it return connected status but in reality the connection is not opened by specific command. 
if I try to send connection command anyway for each command pj closes the connection going.

Maybe I’m approaching the problem in the wrong way. 
Could someone help me with some advice?

thank you

Hello,

a device publishes its services as mDNS message/reply, is there a chance to fetch data from such message?

As far as i can see mDNS utilizes UDP, but Basic driver configured as: Udp, Device_ip_address, src_port_number (as remote port), dst_port_number (as local port), ASCII, text, won`t do any good. Sniffer shows that device posts requests/replies which contain data i need though.

Thanks. 

Hi,

I have data that is in HEX but I want to dispay them as decimal is there any function for this? I have not found anything.

And another question; is it possible to enable/disable an device through a command or variable?

The device I am currently working on only has the communication port open for about 20 seconds than it closes resulting in many connected/disconnected messages.

I would like to enable the device, send the command, get an response then disable the device.

Hi, 

I recently acquired a Smart meter by our Belgian energy supplier Fluvius. It has some ports to be connect and I have connected both my Jigsaw and my meter using a R12-USB cable. 

I've added a "Basic" device with the required parameters, but all I get back on the Raw Data is FF and the Encoded data value is ?

It looks like the device is connected, but I cannot extract or read data from this device. Does anyone have an idea what the "FF" or "?" stands for and how to fix this? 

Best regards, 

Michiel

Hi,  When using the string editor (in the basic device driver). - what format codes etc. are allowed - is this documented anywhere?  I'm trying to figure out how to include unprintable chars ..  and to keep it readable and possible to format values in correctly was trying not to revert to just using hex.   .. in the example below I need the variable to be formatted in as a 2 digit hex representation of the integer..

Hi, has anyone tried to control an onkyo Receiver or similar using the basic driver?   The command protocol looks simple with one major exception - you need to calculate the length of the command and send this as part of the message in bigendian format.. is there any way to hack this together in bOS?  I guess if you limit yourself to commands of fixed length it will be possible?? ..  the protocol as I found it on the internet is attached if useful to anyone... Onkyo Serial AVR_5-17.xlsx

I believe I was at 4.4.2 and now my projector on/off stopped working. Here is an error after the upgrade:

Hi,

I'm using a electrical energy counter, the values recived are in W, mA, mV, and I want to convert to KW, A, and V.

How I can convert these values? 

Hi!!!  I have a problem with yahoo weather services in all my 6  devices PC and  Jigsaw. there isn't any received weather data from  29.12.2018
