Is there anything else you can think of I should look at for testing or have I caused you enough problems?
I’m fairly stumped on trying to get the bot on a Wifi link, I was hoping to use a serial to Lan virtual module so that the bot would physically be connected on RS232 but would appear to the P.C. as an I.P. port but the app I have doesnt want to play nicely.
There is one possibility that I’ve just thought of…
If I write a VB.NET app that has a Winsock for SEQ to connect to and a Comm port to connect to the bot, I wonder if I could just wrap the inputs and outputs…That way SEQ would think it was sending to a Socket…Is that right?
Wrote a dopey app in VB6 (dotnot examples are all console so got nowhere) and wrapped a socket to a commport…
Set commport as bot bluetooth virtual port (COM5). Opened SEQ and set the commport on there to something that wasnt going to work (Port 15 in this case) most buttons greyed out.
Set the Client settings to the App I had written and activated.
After a few moments the config dialog appeared and the Sequencer button became available.
Clicked Sequencer and the form loaded ( could see lots of QP going to bot) then got a “Cant show dialog error”.
Closed and reopened and this time got right in and all seemed to work fine.
Played a few sequences just to be sure…
Cant get the dialog error to come back so I cant give you the exact message. If it reappears I will get the message.
But at least it proved the core is working… That one I really am going to play with.
new socket server commands <buttonpress:pose 1> to <buttonpress:pose 16> in order to control the 16 new buttons
sockect server command returns “Ready” or “Busy” as before or now “Paused” if paused or “Error”
if Visual sequencer is not in the “Advanced Play” form.
socket server command ssc-32:ver returns the SSC-32 firmware version as before or now “Virtual” if
connected to the virtual robot.
bug corrected : when clicking on an assigned button (Advanced play form), it wasn’t loading the correct “end” step
sometimes.
Robot Dude, you are gonna ahve to share your secrets… If I was trying to get my missus to do something, the phrase “You know where the stuff is so do it yourself” would have been retort no 1
Wow, Laureatus, you are truely awesome at making SEQ and the other LM software better and better! I am really looking forward to being able to work with SEQ at some point, and am really good at beating bugs out of software. Several years ago, I did maintenance programming/feature updating for a regular job.
I saw that, and went immediately to upgrade my version of RoboRealm. I feel like I am gradually being assimilated into the Microsoft BORG… I may just decide to go quietly and give in, because there are just too many neat things for Windows to play with…
I like to stay current as much as possible, even though I don’t have SEQ to play with yet.
I know how it must be ripping you to make a move from Linux but may I make a suggestion…
Install XP on a machine and also install VMWare, I believe there is now a free version you can install. Then install as many copies as Linux as you see fit. If you use the VMware network drivers it gives it a seperate IP address as if it were a remote machine.
Dont use MS Virtual PC as its limited on what it can support.
I run several virtual machines on my XP install and its good. Even Solaris and OSX Tiger will run.
DONT go near Vista, we have had so many issues with it that we have had to remove 2 installations…
I’m on it.
