michel User Oct 15, 2007, 2:00 AM Post #1 of 9 (5096 views) Shortcut Send Serial Data for Barco Beamer Can't Post Hello We have bought 2 new Beamers (Barco RLM R6+ Performer). I have got a manual with the serial commands, but I am somehow not guessing it right. So here is the information I have: 1. Any command byte, data byte or checksum byte that equals \x80, \xfe, \xff has to be converted! For transmission - instead of \x80, send \x80 followed by \x00 - instead of \xfe, send \x80 followed by \x7e - instead of \xff, send \x80 followed by \x7f 2. For example the command for projectors ON: Start: \xfe Projector address: \x01 Command: \x65 Checksum: \x66 Stop: \xff How do I have to write the commands to get it work? Thanks for any help.

I don't really know what to say. They're giving the example of 0xFE 0x01 0x65 0x66 0xFF to start the projector. I'm assuming that doesn't work. Based on what you wrote, it would seem that you need to write 0x80 0x7E (start) 0x01 (proj addr) 0x65 (command) 0x66 (checksum) 0xFF (end) But maybe what they mean is _any_ value greater than 0x7F needs to be done with the two byte format. That would make the message 0x80 0x7E (start) 0x01 (proj addr) 0x65 (command) 0x66 (checksum) 0x80 0x7F (end) unless the start and end bytes are not affected by the instruction number 1. The spec seems a bit ambiguous. Good luck! Best, Mark - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mark Coniglio / TroikaTronix Creator of Isadora

So I have no possibility to type that. Best, Michel ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "It happens every day: information overload! Time for a reboot..."

So my question is, how can I convert \xfe in a valid hex command? Michel ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "It happens every day: information overload!

They from Barco first sent me an old manual with outdated commands. It works fine now just leaving \x away.

But I post the patch I did in Isadora. There are still a few things missing: "Keystone" and the "load and rename files".
