RE: VIOM and Girder

["Paul Gordon" <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi James.

I did have Girder & VIOM working on a bench rig a few years ago. As is
always the way, before I could put it into production the PC had to be
re-used for something else, then it got left for quite a while, then I
needed to rebuild it....

When I tried to replicate the same setup, I struggled to make it work
again....  and gave up after a while. It's undoubtedly a different
version of both Girder itself, and the serial plug-in from what I used
the first time round, so settings etc. may be different now... (that may
have been my problem as well...)

In the end, I just bit the bullet, a knocked up a quick & dirty
Homeseer
plug-in for the VIOM and eliminated the need to use Girder at all....

I've been running girder for a while now to manage all things IR and
have now decided to add a VIOM.  Trouble is I can't make them talk!
VIOM is fine with Hyperterminal, but no success with the serial plugin
for girder.  The VIOM requires a carriage return and line feed at the
end of each command which girder doesn't offer an option for, I'm
presuming I need to add these commands manually.

I notice from the archives that Paul Gordon has a similar pairing. Paul,
can you shed any light?

Any thoughts much appreciated.

James
