Problems communicating using GC100 with a GSD

[PeteK]

Hi gang

I'm having some trouble controlling my Denon receiver connected to a GC100.  The GC100 setup scripts are a little loopy with the new (3.0) firmware version, but I hacked around and managed to get gc-100-serial-bridge-sh functioning correctly.  It basically creates a socket to the GC100's serial port (at port 4999 on its IP address) and maps it to a serial device (/dev/TTYS_89_0) on the core.  Now, I can echo commands to the port and they work to control the device. For example, when I type:

Code: [Select]

echo -en "PWON\r" >> /dev/ttyS_89_0
It turns on.  The problem that I'm having is that, using the Denon AVR template, which has Ruby codes for the device, I can't get it to work.

Here's the command response:

Code: [Select]

Message Sent succesfully.
/usr/pluto/bin/MessageSend localhost -r 0 93 1 193 97 ""
Response was:
RESP: OKMessage Sent succesfully.
/usr/pluto/bin/MessageSend localhost -r 0 93 1 193 97 ""
Response was:
RESP: OK

The device number is 93.

The logs show:

Anyone have any ideas on where I go from here to debug?

Thanks,

OK, nevermind.  It seems to be working now.  Hmm, weird things happen around midnight.  Cool.  Now to make it work with the squeezebox.

That was easy.  I just set up the audio pipe and it's all happy now.  The stereo turns on when I start playing audio through the squeezebox.  I'll update the GC100 wiki with what I figured out for the GC100.
