Stop USBIURT autorepeat

[Bitmonster]

Doesn't this cam have a serial interface?

[CollinR]

VC-C50i and VC-C50iR are analog cameras with RS232c interfaces.

It has something like 20 preset configurations. More then enough for residential and most commercial applications.

I can set the preset on my camera (9), but I need to move it so I can reach the good position.

I have already an hardware system with serial communiciation but I want to try IR, so I do not need to install cabling each time I work on a event.

Have you tried the RAW-Learning I mentioned above?

[sdx]

RAW leraning is this sequence:

It is also takes 4 sec to be stopped.

Maybe this workaround might work:

</EventGhost>

Trigger the "Transmit Start Code" macro with a keyboard shortcut for example (or simple by holding down the execute button). As long as the event "is active", it will call the second macro in a loop.

1 . This is the answer from USB-UIRT support, your are right there is a bug :

Antoine,

This issue occurs because the USB buffer has queued multiple 'repeat' codes to the USB-UIRT hardware (the repeat code section of the IR code is very short) and therefore it takes some time for the queue to 'clear out'.

It may be possible to help this situation out with a firmware/driver change. I will have to look into it.

Best Regards,

Jon

2 . I have tested your code but I am not sure of what should happen. I execute manually the macro : USB-UIRT: Transmit Start Code , the two macros this one et the next excute but there is no loop running.

Sorry, but I am not yet familiar with EvenGhost ! Soon May be ?

[Bitmonster]

Highlight the first macro, press the execute button and hold it down.

[sdx]

The loop is now running but the second code

USB_UIRT.TransmitIR(u'0000 006E 0002 0000 0155 0055 0015 0E31', 1, 0)

does not talk to the camera

[Bitmonster]

In both transmit actions the last code is "0E31". Try to lower these values. I would suggest, to try it out in this order:
0800
0400
0200
0100

[sdx]

I tried, the second transmit action does not seems to work as the camera green light does not blink

[Bitmonster]

Well, then we can only hope Jon Rhees is able to fix this.

Is there another IR device than USBUIRT that works properly with autorepeat ?

Is there another IR device than USBUIRT that works properly with autorepeat ?

None that is both:
a) supported by EventGhost
b) I could otherwise recommend.
