Where do I start with LUA

[harleydude]

Path to install the file is ProgamFiles/promixis/girder5/luascript/transport/devices. Remove all previous instances of that file as well.

[Solosid]

Right

removed all additional files from devices...the only 4 that are there are the original example files


restarted the lua engine

Add in the file I attached in post 19. Restart Girder and see if you can select it.

You have two devices trying to access com1,.. remove the one you don't want.

@Rick... cheers man...couldn't of got here without you.....


the teac is connected in TM

this what i see now

Welcome to Promixis Girder 5.0.6 build 540

[1] = 3,
[2] = 254,
[3] = 1,
[4] = 1000,

SEND 30 78 38 31 37 33 0x8173
LOG: My Teac AG-980 Transport : 4 - No response to last send


can some one educate me what a 'checksum' is...


the teac has a SYSTEM ID code of 0x8173

where do i put this??

do i string the codes together ie

0x8173 0x04


where 0x8173 is system id
and 0x04 is cd input select


and is it text or hex?



cheers

@Ron

Do you think this is happening to me???


It appears you might have been running into a bug.

Change line 800 of transport/Core.lua from



Code:
if x < self.Settings.Transport.Post.NoResponseTimeout thento


Code:
if x < self.Settings.Transport.Post.NoResponseTimeout * 0.9 thenSometimes the event appears to fire a fraction of a second earlier then requested tripping up this check.

Also you should probably increase the queue to a larger size:


Code:
local DefaultSettings = prepare(
-- first base settigs.
{
Transport = {
Post = {
NoResponseTimeout = 2000,
},
},
Parser = {
Type = constants.parser.TERMINATED,
Terminator = '\r',
Timeout = 1000,
},
MaxQueuedItems = 10,
},
-- overrides for serial transport
{
Transport = {
Post = {
Baud = 9600,
Flow = 'N',
Parity = 'N',
DataBits = 8,
StopBits = 1,
},
},
}
)

its in another thread you have posted in....


cheers

Possible, also possible your device is not responding yet. Anyway if you update to version 5.0.7 that fix is included. Use a RS232 snooper to see what is going on...
