Seura Shade 2 RS-232 control


 

Hi All,
I'll be working on a project with rs-232 control of a Seura Shade 2 TV and have the protocol doc.
it lists the following for the start and end characters:
? Start with 0x02 (hex)
? End with 0x03 (hex)
The example for Power OFF is:
[0x02]PWD:0[0x03]

For those who have dealt with this product, do you think the format should be:
\x02PWD:0\x03 or [0x02]PWD:0[0x03]

I'm thinking the former, but of course anything is possible in this realm! Haha

TIA!


 
Edited

For Crestron you would use \x** to send a hex character. So, you would use \x03 not [0x03]


 

That's what I thought but their docu was confusing to me, with their example string...
Thanks Eric!!


 

Must admit, I love protocols that start and end with \x02 and \x03

:)


 

\x02PWD:0\x03


 

Here's what we use:
Power ON--? \x02PWD:1\x03

Power OFF-- \x02PWD:0\x03

Mute ON-- \x02MUT:1\x03

Mute OFF-- \x02MUT:0\x03

Input 1-- \x02INP:1\x03

Volume 50-- \x02VOL:050\x03


 

FTR, we got things working with the strings as noted above. Seems to work great - 115k baud BTW...because we really need to turn it on quickly!...HaHa

It still did take us 4 hours unrelated to the Seura...
Its a take-over job and we just needed to temp the control for the client before we completely revamp the system.
The path was simple - CP4 port to AVpro EX70 balun to the TV...but since it was mounted without an articulating mount and above a counter, with no slack on the cables, etc, etc..
And then we had inexplicable issues getting the comms to work properly with symptomatic red-herrings et.al....Ugghh! I need to charge more...:)
