SLink-E

[Ron]

Just a quick update on development stuff, I hope to release a bug-fix release of girder this weekend. This one should add more registers and fix the "auto-execute" bug.

I hope to find that keyboard anomalty too,.. but i'm afraid that will be a problem.

One a brighter note i've received a SLink-E unit from Nirvis Systems, so I can now start writing writing a Girder driver. I had it running for a few minutes and first impressions is thumbs up :D !! Slink-E (http://www.nirvis.com/slink-e.htm)

Ron,

Excellent news regarding the Slink-e. It turns out I just bought one of these so your timing is perfect :D. I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Regarding the registers: would you consider adding an additional register type: TReg (text register). This could be used as a variable for:
command line constructs
if [reg 1] == 5
[TReg 1] = 050%
x10com32 a5 dim to [TReg 1]

OSD messages
If [reg 5] == 7
[TReg 5] = "Aux 4 HD"

As well as a bunch of stuff I haven't thought of yet :)

I'm not sure we need the ability to do any logical operations on the TRegs so parsing shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks again! -- Steve

Being able to send [Treg] to the say plugin would also be very useful.

While I think about it, any news on whether you will be able to get the say plugin to not hold up girder operation?

Thanks very much
