VIOM - Girder - Bathroom Audio WAS RE: (ukha_d) Interactive Demo?

[Frost Neil <Neil.Frost@xxxxxxx>]

Paul, 

After being inspired by your bathroom audio, I'm doing a similar thing,
well
almost exactly the same......

I was having problems with girder recognising the serial command from
the
VIOM AFTER the initial one was saved and the PC rebooted. If I re-learnt
the
command (exactly the same as the previous one) it worked...... :?

What I changed was: In the receive settings for the serial plug-in (3.03)
I
set it to variable length and ticked the "Translate
(bin->hex)" option as
well.

It seems to remember the commands now (although I'm still fighting with
the
state settings).

Hope this may be of some help.......

For every one else, VIOM (Versatile Input Output Module)
www.phaedrusltd.co.uk connected to PC.
I'm using the clipsal momentary switches attached to the inputs of the
VIOM.
To send commands to Girder www.girder.nl to control various PC based
audio
applications.

HTH 

Neil

I am now...

Have a look at http://paulgordon.homeip.net/bathroom 
- near the bottom are 
some piccies of my home-made switch panel, and details of the VIOM
module.

I can probably also help out with Girder config as well, (when I figure it
out again myself!) - I had it working perfectly, but then the PC died, and
I

had to build another. I've still to figure out the precise settings on the
Girder serial plugin to recognise the inputs...
