Sorry for the lagged response. I myself would envision .js to work a lot like your .vbs implementation. Maybe what you really want is to merely add .js support and maybe not node.js since HB is already a server. Node.js is a single threaded language which in background uses multiple threads to execu...

Did you ever consider adding node.js capabilty as an alernative to using vbs? node.js is ubiquitous and has an extensive package repository (NPM) and mature frameworks. It has native support for JSON objects. This might serve to open up HB to a much larger user base.

I thought about it and I can’t think of a way with HB. I have been working with node.js using it as a gateway to get greater capabilty-especially JSON objects. I’ll probably forward the hex string to my node.js server and handle it that way. I have used wireshark to capture IP data from the included...

I need to send "A5 5B 02 03 01 00 04 00 00 00 00 00 F4" in hex form using the "IP Socket Device". I can't use chr(0) in a string because it terminates the string, Does anyone know if there any way I can do this given the Send Data property is AlphaNumeric?

I'm trying to use the GC-100 device using the serial interface. I am unable to assign commands and when I try sending a command using the Generic Serial Definition and I get and error indicating The format of the serial command is incorrect. It must include the ModuleID. Sorry for such a newbie ques...

My UIRT isn't that active. I have a task that fires a script when it receives an IR command, but never fires because it never gets an IR command. There is nothing showing in history on IR receive. Of course I know the USBUIRT works because I reverted back and it works again. I did notice the journal...

I had to revert back to previous version. I'm finally working again. I noticed that 3.50.01 was running at about 50% utilization. I'm back to under 10% on version 3.45.

FYI. I'm running on Windows 7.

Another related, or unrelated symptom...

Clicking on enable or disable a serial or USBUIRT device causes the spinning wheel of death.

I upgraded to HB 3.50.01 and my USBUIRT is no longer sending or receiving.

That worked!!! I also checked for the CRLF and I did find my problem. CRLFs are indeed showing up in the message. As usual you have delivered. Thank you!

OK. That explains what I 'm seing. 128 bytes is really small. What are the downsides to making that larger? Can't imagine that most TCP messaging implementations wouldn't overrun that. Most operating systems have a 256K limit. If I can Read CRLF this won't be a problem. I'll research that more. I ne...

OK. I've done some more extensive troubleshooting. I have captured IP data packet with Wireshark and exported just the data inside the packet. I pasted the exported packet data in notepad ++ and I have attached a screenshot to display EOL symbols. This is one entire Packet. It appears HB is strippin...

Is there a size limit on the buffer? I didn't check "received data" property to see if there was anything strange about it. Also, I didn't restart HB after adding the device. Putty handles this like I would expect (the entire string on one line) so I don't think is something in the IP stack.

Here is an Example... [Russound IP.Received Data] has changed to [N S[2].albumName="Achtung Baby"N S[2].artistName="U2"N S[2].coverArtURL="http://www.siriusxm.com/albumart/Live/1430/u2_5833F] [Russound IP.Received Data] has changed to [F42_m.jpg"N S[2].songName="My...

This is the first time I've used the IP Socket Device. The Device I am using terminates the message with a <CR><LF>. The issue I am having is that it is saving the message in multiple Data Received messages. Is there a way to increase the timeout so the entire message can be read from the Data Recei...
