RS-232 Serial Problem
Hello: We have a project using a HD410 and a pushbutton interface to send serial strings when a button is pressed. We have done this a number of times in the past, but for some reason can't get it to work now, either using BA or a CSV file that has worked in the past. When a button is pressed, say button 1, the controller sends <VID1>, button 2 sends <VID2> etc. Connecting the HD410 directly to a PC and sending commands directly from Realterm also fails to work. Firmware is 3.5.77 and BA is 2.2.0.39. We can communicate both directions from the PC to the HD410, so hardware is working and cable connection is good. In BA <Serial Input> is set to <VID1> to play <VIDEO1.mpg>. Baud rate is 115.2K over port 0. In the CSV file, <serial:VID1> plays file <video1.mpg> etc. I am stumpted as to why I'm unable to implement serial control, having done so in the past. Any insight would be very much appreciated as our client is, shall we say, most anxious to have a working system. Here's a portion of the CSV file that's worked in the past. SERIALPORTSPEED 115200 SERIALPORTMODE 8N1 EVENTS serial:VID1 serial:VID2 STATE start.bmp video1.mpg video2.mpg STATE video1.mpg video1.mpg video2.mpg STATE video2.mpg video1.mpg video2.mpg STATE video3.mpg video1.mpg video2.mpg STATE video4.mpg video1.mpg video2.mpg STATE video5.mpg video1.mpg video2.mpg Thanks, Michael
