Hi,

Does anyone have experience with the above? I am attempting simple
control of a kaleidescape movie player from a page on our command
fusion gui:

So far I have created a new system with the static IP of our player,
the port connections set at 10000 and maintain constant connection is
checked.

An example command applied to a button I am using is 01/1/DOWN:

I have tried various EOM's, but to no avail. Does anyone have a
definitive EOM that works using this method of controlling the
K'scape? (I should point out that I have control of the player using
hyperterminal, by entering the string above, so the IP address etc..
is definately correct )

Do I need to set the heartbeat details?

Any help appreciated,

Kind regards,

Adam

You need to google for the kalaidescape tcp/ip API.

Try \x0A\x0D

and send it at the end of every command. Leave the system properties
eom blank

The EOM is only for parsing feedback, it does not apply itself to
outgoing commands. Please see our wiki for documentation in this area.

I would try Fiasco's suggestion of adding a line feed and carriage
return to the end of the commands (these are added by default in
telnet when you press enter to send the command). You might even only
need a carriage return, depending on the protocol.

Heartbeats are only required if the system you are controlling
requires a heartbeat message to keep a connection alive. Most systems
do not need this. But you can also use the heartbeat Tx as a way to
poll the system for data by sending it a command every 3 seconds.
