acer h6510bd serial commands - SOLVED

Postby Kvirre » Sun Nov 09, 2014 2:58 pm

Hi,

I would like to have some help with the Power ON/OFF commands in CW

Projector : Acer H6510BD
CW Version : CW_Main_1.0.0.36
USB to Serial : http://www.webhallen.com/se-sv/datorer_ ... ill_usb_20
Commands (reference) : http://acer-sg.custhelp.com/ci/fattach/ ... 9500BD.pdf
BaudRate : 9600


I tried using putty to manually send ACSII-commands, all works well - The projector Powers ON/OFF :

* 0 IR 001
* 0 IR 002

Using HEX strings in CW in would be (including carrige return 0D)
Applying commands using CW GUI (Control > Projector Control)

2A2030204952203030310D
2A2030204952203030320D

This does not work ....

I made sure that
1 - Putty was closed when using CW
2 - Baudrate (9600) and COM5 (the right one for me) was configured on CONFIGURE>Configure Machine
3 - The connection was made using the 3'rd button on top (GUI connection looking sign)

I have no idea what's wrong, please help ..

Do you need to convert it to HEX? I seem to recall somewhere that you can send ASCII... you just have to make sure that you include the '\r' return character.

Couldn't hurt to try!

Alright,
I really want to help you troubleshoot this.
First a couple things:

The projector's serial port needs to be connected to a USB->Serial device(duh). You will also need a null-modem gender-bender adapter to connect the projector's serial port to the USB->Serial device. The USB should be connected to your host computer. In the machine configuration screen, you'll need to specify the projector serial port in the same way that you specify the connection to the Arduino / Ramps board. You'll have to check your Projector manual to ensure that you're setting up the correct baud (usually 9600). Also on the Machine configuration screen, make sure the 'Projector Commands' and 'Manual GCode' checkboxes are checked.

Click 'apply ' to save all settings.

- On the main 3d screen, go to the 'view options' and open up the debug message log.
- Click the 'Connect' button at the top of the screen. You should see that the Arduino and the serial port for the projector is connected. If you don't get a message about the projector port connecting, then something went wrong.

Go to the Manual Control screen. Go to the Projector Commands group.

Use the pull-down to select the display (usually DISPLAY2) that you want to send the command to.
Select the command from the pull-down display (try the ACER_ON command)
Click the 'Send' button

This is the procedure that I use to send a command to the display.
I hope this helps. If you're still having issues, post again and We'll dig deeper.

-Steve

Hi Steve,

is there a way to add the "ACER_OFF" into the standard generated gcode during the sequence?

couldn't find it in the documentation

cheers,
hp
