creating a TCP/IP Transport
I am working to create a Device Manager for Integra Receivers, working backwards from the Denon device manager. everything is currently 232 but I am curious about adding TCP/IP functionality.
If i go into the transport and configure it for IP it says that it connects, but nothing sends or receives. the manual says that the TCP/IP transport function are:
but where does this go?Code:num, err = [transport]:Open( [url], [port number] )

playing around with it a bit more now, I am getting events from the receiver but it seems that there is a different header on the commands then the RS232 protocol.
so i guess the question is now how do i setup a header that is only sent when connected TCP/IP
the protocol is linked below

I am not concinved that starting with the denon code is the best approach,.. it's quite complicated for your first transport. Shall we start from a clean slate?

im all for doing it the right way.

Looking at the protocol it appears that it is always 'CR' terminated for both serial and TCP/IP sadly the value of 'CR' 0x0D might appear in the DataSize field of the TCP/IP header. So technically we could not use the terminated transport. However I think we should try. The reason being that calling lua on each reached character is too much of a CPU hog.
So I think we should use the terminated parser with CR as the terminator. And then detect if we received a full or partial packet. If we receive a partial packet hold the data and then merge it once the rest comes in.
Sound fair?

ok so i have taken a step back and am now trying to use tutorial 1 as my basis.
are you saying all in my OnBuildCommand my return should be 'CR'? when i was using the denon transport i had it working with '1a'. in the protocol it says that it should be '0D'
with tutorial 1 when i send a command it does not show up in the lua console, it just sends back a "no response to last send"
what am i doing wrong here
