RS232 control

Post by Fulltopuk »

Hi

I am new to eventghost but am finding it is absolutely brilliant.

I am using RS232/Serial plugin to control my lighting system (helvar) but have a small problem.

I try to read back the command acknowledgement with a serial read straight after the serial write.

But I do not see any data in the event window.

Does anyone know if I am correctly expecting the data to appear or do I need a different approach?

Thanks

Thanks Pako

But how do I use the {eg.result}? Do I add it after the serial sent command or do I format it another way. Sorry I am missing this but I just don't quite understand the syntax.

Thanks

How can I respond?
I do not know what data you expect and what to do with them then put you intend to do.
It would be best if you said an example.
