time to spend a little coronavirus vacation on an old challenge...
Hi guys,A little update on the above.I have been on the lookout for a Lut-DMX as the easier of two challenging options but I am having no luck finding one of those, and with all this coronavirus free time I now have, I have decided to have a poke around with the cueserver CS810.I am attempting to send CueScript command strings over rs232 from link 3 (9 pin out) to the DB44 pin on the cs810 but having no luck at all.As stated earlier in this thread, i'm quite new to this, DMX is my forte here, Lutron and rs232 less so please excuse any silly questions. As long I can get the two items to talk to each other and I understand the Command String structure sufficiently, I can make the CS810 work wonders.Lifted from Cueserver Manual-"• CueScript Commands All incoming serial data is interpreted as CueScript commands. When a CueScript statement is received in [ square brackets ], it will be executed."and"Receiving Commands via the Serial PortIf the serial port’s Incoming Serial Protocol mode is set to “CueScript Commands”, CueServer will continuously monitor incoming data at the serial port. If it detects a CueScript command, the command is executed. Nearly any external device capable of sending serial data can send CueScript commands to CueServer. To send CueScript statements to CueServer, the command must be transmitted in ASCII text and enclosed in square-brackets ( [ and ] ). CueServer ignores all incoming serial data until it receives an open-bracket ( [ ). Once the openbracket is received, it accumulates the ASCII bytes it receives until it encounters a close-bracket ( ] ). Once the close bracket arrives, then the entire CueScript statement received is executed."Le'ts go with the simple CueScript command of;Channel 1 At 100How do I write this in ASCII text?Baud is at 38400 at both ends - have tried different values with no avail.Bits: 8No paritystop bits: 1no handshakingI am just using 3 wires;TxRxGndAnybody have any advice to point me in the right direction?
