Yamaha rx-v1000 & serial prt (Mark F?)

[Mark F]

Please post a link to the document and I'll take a look as I get a chance.

The protocol for this device is complicated. It includes embedded data length fields and checksums. I'm sorry, but I don't have time right now to decypher all of this.

Try using variable length receive record and a timeout of 30.

Use hex->bin translation.

I *THINK* the first command you have to send is 110001f403

A FAQ? Not really.

In brief, you need to set up three things to make Grder work with this receiver. You need the right cable, you need a device defined in the serial plugin and you need commands in a .gml file.

A NULL modem cable may work for the connection though all you need are 5 wires.

Look at the serial plugin readme file to see how to define a device and apply all the device characteristics described in section 2 of the url you cited above (the codes document).

The commands will be byte strings that you define based on the rest of definitions in the codes document.

Does Yamaha provide a control program for this piece? If so, try to get that working first and it will help you get the right cable attached.

I have a Yamaha Rx-V1000 on it's way to me. How do I integrate the serial port programming of this into Girder? I have a copy of the code needed for this receiver? (same codes as the rx-v3000)

I beleive this link will work - it's a .pdf of the codes document. Thank you very much for the help! I am looking forward to getting a receiver than I can control w/ Girder....
