Transfer Project File to BPC-8

 

How do you transfer your project file from the HPLIR to the BPC-8?
 

Ive always used a usb cable to transfer to the bpc-8?
 

Thanks Anthony, but the HPLIR comes with a toss link cable to connect to the button pad.? I am just seeing how or where the connector goes.
 

Once the desired configuration file is loaded onto the BPC-HPLIR via the included USB cable, it can be transferred to a BPC-8 unit by completing the following steps:
1. Remove the clear plastic dust cover from the fiber-optic cable connector, and insert the connector into the small IR port on the lower right side of the BPC-8 faceplate (see the illustration below). Hold the cable securely in position. Connecting the BPC-HPLIR to the BPC-8
2. Press the TRANSFER button on the BPC-HPLIR. The green LOAD LED lights. Keep the fiber-optic cable in place until the LOAD LED turns off.
3. When the file is transferred successfully, the BPC-8 backlight flashes several times. NOTE: ?If the file is not transferred successfully, the Button 1 LED (upper left) on the BPC-8 blinks several times. If this situation occurs, press the TRANSFER button again until the transfer succeeds. Wait at least one second between presses.
4. Repeat this process for each BPC-8 that supports identically equipped rooms.?

Awesome!? Worked like a charm.? Thanks.
 

So these are the rs232 commands I am trying to send to the LG TVbut none are working.
Power On = ka 01 01 0x0D
Power Off = ka 01 00 0x0D
HDMI 1 = kb 01 08 0x0D
HDMI 2 = kb 01 09 oxoD
?
I also tried the CR as \r and \0x0D, but that didn't work either.
 

If these are in a SIO then it should be \x0d

I have always sent ka 01 01\x0D

And ka 01 00\x0D without issue

?

Perhaps try in that exact syntax?

?

I am sending these via a BPC-8.? I'll try the xx xx xx\x0D instead of 0x0D.
 

Should the syntax be ka 01 00 \x0D?? Or, should the syntax be as ka\01\00\x0D?
 

The exact syntax is "ka 01 01\x0d" for Power On or "ka 01 00\x0d" for Power Off, so there should be no space before the CR character (\x0d). Also, only the CR is in hex notation, the rest of the string is plain text. It is recommended to enclose the strings you put in the SIO (or directly in the COM port driver) in quotes so I left those there deliberately.
 

Igor, so are you saying that the syntax should include the ""?? I was only entering the command inside the quotes.
 

they're actually not a part of the syntax, it's more of a Crestron thing - we were told way back when in P101 it's the 'preferred' way, kind of best-practice, that all strings and especially the ones with mixed ASCII/hex characters are enclosed within quotes on the Crestron side of things, i. e. when they are entered in SIMPL symbols. so no, the command is actually ka 01 01\x0d, but when you enter it into a SIO symbol it's recommended that you add the quotes.
 
Edited

Using an SIO in SIMPL with Ka 00 00 for Off, Ka 00 01 for On and \x0D in the delimeter works for me (no quotes).
 

FTR, I have never used "" around string values in SIOs, except to actually send a "" as a null value.
Never had an issue.
It makes sense that the "" would not be a problem, but I don't think it's needed...
 

thanks Da vid.? I am actually using the BPC-8 IC to control the BPC-8, and using OnCue to program the keypad.
