Hello All, I'm new to EG. I've installed the serial plug in and have everything connected. My problem is that I'm able to send serial strings to my Automation Controller from EG, but the serial strings from the automation panel to EG don't show up in the log.
I know that this should work as I've tested with Hercules and the same thing happens. hercules and automation panel send and rec strings, but for whatever reason, i'm not able to rec on EG.
any suggestions?
thanks.

Serial Plug in...send, but won't receive
Re: Serial Plug in...send, but won't receive
Ok, someone has to have an answer. I was playing around with it again a few minutes ago and all of a sudden the serial strings started to show up in the event log. After 5 or so successful attempts, the log no longer will show the incoming serial strings.
I know that the cables are correct as i can consistently send a serial string from EG to a Hercules (similar to hyper terminal)
Has anyone else had this problem? if so, what's the fix?

AFAIK, anyone who has tried the Serial Read has had the same problem. If you search the forum, you'll find that a question about this has been posted multiple times, and no one ever has an answer. I've had the same experience as you. One time it seemed to work for awhile, then it didn't. I was hoping when you posted your question that someone might finally post an answer. Apparently no such luck this time either.Wigalo wrote:Has anyone else had this problem? if so, what's the fix?

Well I thought I had a work around. Maybe still do. There are other serial device plugins..denon, avr's etc. With those, I can get EG to show activity in the log. The problem is that instead of the "event" lighting bolt, the string is preceded by an "i" and the macros won't respond.
With these, I can NOT drag them into an event, but I can copy and paste. When I do this however, there is no response.
Does anyone know how to make the macro respond to the an event preceded by "i" symbol as opposed to the the lightning bolt?
