Nope, no real progress. The main problem is that HEYU.EXE simply doesn't work. It'll run, it'll read the config file, but it won't send commands to the CM11A on the specified serial port. And that's if you don't have CYGWIN DLL conflicts. Essentially I've decided that I've taken the wrong approach all along. Rather than use executables like BR.EXE and HEYU.EXE, I should be using pure Perl code. There are CPAN modules for the CM17 and CM11A controllers; I just haven't found much time to work on switching from the EXEs to the CPAN code (and testing that the CPAN code works OK). I don't expect to have any time to do so in the next week, and the weeks following might be tough, too. If you're up for some Perl hacking, I could share what I've got so far. There's one core routine that needs to be modified to support the CPAN methods, and the settings need to change slightly (instead of asking for the EXE location, PowerCenter should only ask if your X10 controller is a CM17 Firecracker or a CM11A/CM12). -Peter -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim AllQuiet BlankSaver FuzzyTime PlayLog PowerCenter/BottleRocket SaverSwitcher SleepFade StatusFirst SyncOptions VolumeLock ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43781 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
