HouseBot

This problem is fixed with the latest firmware version for the GC-100. Latest version is: 2.2-06

This script will allow you to interface a Phidget 0/0/4 interface kit to HouseBot. The 0/0/4 interface kit is a USB controlled set of 4 relays that can handle 120V AC. The calls for Phidget interface kits are all the same, so this code could be modified to add a 8/8/8 board which has both analog and...

Ok...you are going to be relieved. They had a two-week production run with buggy firmware and have noted this lack of terminating character before. So it does appear to be a problem with the GC-100. Apparently there was limited production, but the module version posted in my trace is likely the vers...

Well, the version is populating in the trace but not in the actual software itself. This seems to indicate the HB is able to pull the module version number from the GC without a problem. Are you calling the version number at each sendir command or just at the plug-in load?

I talked with GlobalCache and based upon the information in the trace they say the GC-100 is working properly and that this is likely a software issue. Is the timing of the send command taken care of by the IR module on its own or dictated by the serial module?

I will try a different cable, but I thought the trace depicts the acknowledgement (completeir) from the GC-100. However, a 5s timeout would fit with what I am seeing. Perhaps I have a buggy GC-100 (or cable as you suggest).

The Inter-Command Delay was set to 0. I loaded the Serial Sample Configuration with a delay of 200ms and I am still seeing the problem described in the posts above. My codes are as clean as they get. For example, here is the code for "1": 0000 006D 0012 0002 0159 00AD 0013 00AD 0013 0057 0...

...and moving the server application from the wireless laptop I was using for development to the wired server box does not fix the problem either.

Here is the trace from a channel change. If you look at the time, it takes 4s between sending the chained IR codes.

Does anyone know how to decrease the interval between sent IR codes for the GC100. When I try to change channels on a motorola DCT6412 via the channel property, the lag time between IR codes being sent is so great that the DCT6412 times out between them. It is taking at least 1s between codes. I hav...

The "*Select Definition*" was in the list box and hitting "save" while in this state corrected the problem. Thanks Scott. Great product. On another note, once I have used a preconfigured IRDevice (tuner, DSS receiver, etc), I can't go back and add new property values to that devi...

GC-100 works as it should despite the lack of the xml file. I have also created the IR device to link IR codes to properties, but still am getting the error I described.

I'm new to HouseBot and am doing my initial set-up. I created a new hardware interface for a GC-100 and now when HouseBot loads or I disable/enable the GC-100 I get an error that states "Unable to find XML Hardware Definition File []". I have created a remote in the remote control library ...
