Kevin,
I'm happy to help try and revise xAP 1.3 then do either an addendum or,
my preference, a 1.4 BSC revision.
Is there a base Word doc?

I just had a look back to July but couldn't find a mail re xAP 1.3.

Yes, a menu structure schema would be useful for the displays. The next
iteration is a 128x64 which also
supports some primitive graphics. The new board has the great advantage
of more RAM on chip.

I'm also 50% though a hardware xAP to DMX bridge using the Wiznet
interface and a
PIC24F, which includes a listener facility so in some cases a mapper
isn't required (you assign a source UID to
a DMX channel/endpoint).

Regards,
Lehane

Kevin,<br>
I'm happy to help try and revise xAP 1.3 then do either an addendum or,
my preference, a 1.4 BSC revision.<br>
Is there a base Word doc?<br>
<br>
I just had a look back to July but couldn't find a mail re xAP
1.3.<br>
<br>
Yes, a menu structure schema would be useful for the displays. The next
iteration is a 128x64 which also<br>
supports some primitive graphics. The new board has the great advantage
of more RAM on chip.<br>
<br>
I'm also 50% though a hardware xAP to DMX bridge using the Wiznet

isn't required (you assign a source UID to<br>

There have a been a few posts re this on the lists but its woeful that

we still haven't got a published xAP v1.3 spec. I only got one reply
<br>
(from James) to my last direct email to everyone with the outline

UID's <br>
- again we need to do this although I hope it's fairly obvious - you
<br>
just need to cope with the longer UID's that xAP v1.3 supports. <br>
ID=xxxx ID=xxxxxx etc . In BSC v1.4 there has been the ongoing talk
<br>
about a 'choice' device and Edward and I are both using his suggested
<br>

<br>
We have not persued an actual menu structure type treatment of this -
<br>
which is something that you might like for your switches, this probbaly
<br>
should be its own schema. I know IanB was looking at this.<br>
<br>
There are some clarifications we need to make to the existing BSC v1.3
<br>
spec as it is ambiguous in some areas. I'm happy to work with you on
<br>
this and the xAP v1.3 spec if you wish ??<br>
