Ah, that'd be my fault then.

xAP 1.2 _will_ be released this week, honest. The current hold-up is
that it's come to light that there's a bug in MS winsock on loopback
interfaces... which is a real nightmare because it turns out that the
hub protocol breaks.

Currently looking at whether we can come up with an alternative loopback winsock shim, or whether the hub spec needs tweaking.

Arrggg!

Dare I ask if we've got any more news when we can get your board into
production - im quite keen to get them built - with the latest xap spec
would be even better.

Kind Regards,
Chris Bond

OK - The controller I built is still in its rat nests form but still
working
fine.

I started to look at adding some sort of RS232 control so that if it
came to
it a could produce one pcb to be used either as a standalone controller
or a
RS232 controller.

I also took another look at the xAP happenings. There is PIC code
available
by the other Ian's in the group for xAP on a PIC. However the PIC sits
there
constantly looking at the serial stream and when it receives the correct packet actions the request. I need to keep the DMX o/p going all the
time.
It is beyond a small PIC to o/p DMX and monitor and decode a RS232
stream.
Although I could increase the PIC to a more powerful unit it will still
mean
writing some fancy interupt routines. The easiest way is to use two
small
PIC's (only adds =A31.45 on to the cost) and let them talk at the
appropriate
time.

There seems to have been a change in the xAP protocol recently and also
mention of PIC code to handle xAP on its own. I was going to post to the xAP
group but they have seemed quite busy of late with the protocol changes
etc.
So for the time being the project is holding. I would be interested if
anyone has any ideas on this or if anyone form the xAP group would like
to
comment ?
