Hello everyone,
I am evaluating whether to buy an IO board from Makingthings.com called a teleo. It is a USB device but is communicated to via serial RS232 commands. They say it shows up as a serial port. Since I don't know enough about this I wanted to ask anyone here on the list for help. Has anyone worked with a VCP from within REV?
I don't want to use Flash or Max for this. The company says I will have to work at the raw level but I don't know if that just means serial commands or more raw than that?
Thanks
Tom
" The good news is that the USB device that we use is supported by a Virtual Console Port (VCP) driver on all 3 major operating systems. To you, the Revolution user, this appears to be a serial port so the RS232 features built in to Revolution should work very well. We use this same driver for our work, and you can download this from our website.
What our Flash, Max/MSP, and C/C++ layer does is process this serial data and present a simpler interface for those environments. In your case you will have to work at the raw level.
Unfortunately our raw protocol is not terribly well documented, because we never expected many people to use it. I get just enough requests for this that I keep thinking I should do it, but not quite enough to put this task at the top of my queue.
The raw protocol is described a little here:
http://www.makingthings.com/products/documentation/teleo_user_guide/ teleo_application_sdk.html#teleo_channel
Basically, each module has an address, and each device on the module has a device number, and each "feature" of a device has a port number. The protocol then reads or writes to this (address, device, port)."
