Re: xPL-LCD Update

Since you have x10 i suppose start there.......Dont really use x10 myself
so
cant give any samples.....

You get the devcom from Tonys site ...go to vb6 apps .....
http://www.xplhal.com/
The OSD schema is for display devices such as slimp3 , tivo , vfdosd , mvp,
my tvosd and my lcdosd and any other device which can display info...the
schema info can be found at the main xPL site....The control.basic schema
info can be found there too..

> Where are you writing you PC code.
No pc type code to write otherwise i would be stumped.....Determinators to
the rescue ;-)
You write Determinators which watch for events and then take what ever
action is required...
For instance if i press the menu up button on the lcdosd ,it sends a
control basic message which has a menu number embedded within the
message....
I have a determinator which watches for the control.basic message from my
lcdosd and stores the menu number in a global (variable)....
Other Determinators watch for the buttons 1 to 4 and also check the global
for a specific number
and will send an osd message to the lcdosd if both are true...
So menu 1 button 1 could be turn on bedroom lites....The determinator will
send a cbus command to xPL-CGATE and also send an osd message to the lcd to
say the lite has been commanded ON display this for 2 seconds and then
refresh by sending menu 1 again...
Hope this makes some sense
