I get that response in landscape view but it works in portrait.

I use VMWare's vsphere (ESXi) and love it, especially for beta testing. Yes, either run dual networks or use the LMCE DHCP server. Either will be fine but pick one of those two options for the best results.

Vizio vtab1008 and Htc aria. Both on 2.3 and on the low end for specs.

Thanks Posde! Now I need to go find out the MAC ranges for these Onkyo devices. Google is my friend.

OK, now to add more work for this upcoming weekend. How do I get my orbiters to control it? I want the volume control to control the volume on the receiver and I can't create a media scenario because my Onkyo shows up in red when I attempt to add one. It also doesn't show up on the wizard when I'm trying to add it to my living room. I'm obviously missing something in the configuration but, for the life of me, I can't find it. I did manage to "resend codes" to it and get it do do various things.

I don't even know if I can turn off the network control. My unit does chew through some power in standby mode, that's for sure. My almost airtight cabinet gets warm even when in standby. I put a computer chassis fan on the back of my cabinet to ventilate due to this.

Yes, Thom, it was rather simple but there are a few "gotchas" along the way if you don't know no better. My biggest problems are getting my binary strings correct. The Onkyo network protocol is annoying to begin with and then having to properly escape all the non-printable characters is fun too!

I will most likely be done with this by this weekend so I would love to ask, any pointers on doing a DHCP auto-detect script for this? All I need is to find something that exists already that I can steal.

Thanks!

I got the NR609. I really like it.

Works great! Needed to do some bit fiddling to get it all working since I have to send binary commands. So far I have power on, off, and volume up, down working. As soon as I have something complete, I'll check it in.

Thanks again!

The next steps would be to get PNP working on this device.

Thanks Thom!

So, I forgot the TCP Port. I knew I was missing something there. I fixed it but I still got errors. I think I might have it working now. I made some changes to the selected checkboxes on the template. I'm at work right now so I can only monitor the logs. I'll test as soon as I get home. 

OK, so after a brief hiatus, I'm back at work on this device. I have all the codes researched and configured (I wrote a Perl script to send these commands to my receiver) and have just created the device in LinuxMCE.

Here is the command I think I have it attempting to send for #192 On:

Code:

<$"ISCP\x00\x00\x00\x10\x00\x00\x0\x01\x00\x00\x00!1PWR01\x0D\r"$>

Here is the log entry generated:

Code:

05 01/16/12 9:17:48.669 _QueueProc Post - 994 : 250 <0xb76f3b70>

Now, how do I go about debugging this? I've tried

Code:

/usr/pluto/bin/MessageSend localhost 0 62 1 994

but that gives me nothing extra. Thanks!

Scroll down a third of the way down the page. Specialized technology can get it down to three meters but fifteen is the norm.

Have you ever actually verified the accuracy of your GPS using known coordinates? I haven't but now I'm curious. Mapping software gives hints as to where you are so the GPS device itself appears more accurate than it is. I'm going to find some GPS coordinates of an exact spot near me and test out my GPS ASAP. 

GPS accuracy on your average handheld device is around 15 meters so if your house is absolutely huge, then I guess this might work. Also GPS is nearly useless indoors due to antenna interference from the building.

Open a command shell and run:

Code:

sudo apt-get upgrade

and look at the output to find any errors or partially installed packages. It should automatically try to re-run their configuration. I can't get to my system right now to check but there is also a command similar to:

Code:

dpkg-reconfigure

that should do the same thing. Try the first one though as it is easiest.

Post a list of what you think it should do and others will add their two cents. Eventually you will have a requirements list. 

Yup. Did it. Opened one bug.  I'll keep testing and doing what I can.

Thanks guys! I'll get that going and tested out on my system. Once I get it working properly, how do I go about submitting it? I've never had the privilege of adding a new device before.
