Wireless RS-232

 

OT: Anyone have any experience using wireless RS-232 equipment.
I have some old Lutron Homeworks equipment that needs modification routinely, but unfortunately, is not in the room where the lights are.
I would love to be able to modify light levels without having to run back and forth from equipment room to living area.

Hi all,

Anybody know of a way to clearing all the 10 program and IP table of a
3-series processor instead of doing it one by one in toolbox?

Thank you all.

Re: Trying to parse RS232

 

Thanks for the replies, basically this is how a Hitachi projector returns its lamp hours, I know the lamp has currently done 974 hours.
Which in HEX is 3CE, so I want to strip out everything else and pass out 3CE to another module to convert the hex to decimal to get 974 (or whatever the hours our).

Matt you said I'm having issues because I'm starting my mid after the length of the string, how can I correct this?

Hi All,

I would really appreciate some help, as I can't see what I'm doing wrong.

I've got an RS232 command "&#92;x1D&#92;xCE&#92;x03" that I want to output as 03CE.

Here's what I have so far:

if (Find("&#92;x1D", FromDevice$))
{
Stored$ = FromDevice$;
Trash$ = remove("&#92;x1D", Stored$); // Stored$ = &#92;xCE&#92;x03
string1 = mid(Stored$,3,3);

output$ = string1;
}
I've done this to test, to see if I could get the middle of Stored$.
So I would expect output$ to be "E&#92;", but its coming out empty. What am I doing wrong?


Re: Trying to parse RS232

 

The first argument to REMOVE() is the delimiter expected at the END of the
line. Unless your next line starts with &#92;x1D, this will not produce the
results you're looking for. Does your protocol have a consistent
end-of-line delimiter? If not, what about a consistent header?

Re: Trying to parse RS232

 

So you want acii or hex? 03CE as ascii is far different that &#92;x03&#92;xCE. One is 4 bytes long, one is 2.

You're having issues because you're starting the mid after the length of your string.

Hi Harold,

I typed "HDSW4x1 protocol" into google, and received this link.



Page 4. It couldn't be easier.

If this doesn't help, then I'd suggest contacting Crestron for additional training, or - with respect - pass the job on, to a professional programmer.

Re: S+ Parsing

Chip
 

No documentation outside of what's here on the forum, but there's also not a lot to it.

WHILE(1)

Says, take the code enclosed in the following curly braces and run it OVER AND OVER AGAIN - FOREVERRRRRRRR!

In most circumstances that classifies as A Very Bad Thing (tm). But if you include code inside the curly braces that returns time to the OS and the host SIMPL program, you're good. As luck would have, it:

GATHER(delimiter,src_string)

Says STOP right there, and keep monitoring "src_string". Do not pass GO, do not collect $200 UNTIL you see the specified "delimiter" appear in src_string. When you do, remove everything from the front of src_sting up to the first occurrence of delimiter, and put it in the variable I specify. Then go back to monitoring "src_string".

The great thing about GATHER is that as soon as it evaluates src_string and doesn't find delimiter, it returns control to the processor. The OS lets GATHER know when (if ever) delimiter arrives, and tells it go resume business.

The big trick is in your parsing code. You need to make sure you evaluate what GATHER returns to you as quickly as possible and let the code return to the GATHER. This is an exercise left to the reader, as how to parse everything depends entirely on the data you're expecting.

In theory, the only way I know of for your BUFFER_INPUT to overrun is if lots of data comes in that never contains the delimiter, or if your processor is SO bogged down otherwise that the OS can't get your S+ code fired back up to run the parsing code.

(Oddly enough, I have random instances of this happening at a job site right now. REALLY frustrating)

That said, I'm not sure I'd use this approach for JSON data, considering how sucky it's structured. Maybe there's a good way of doing it - I just haven't considered it...
