Reply With Quoterrfusion might be the way to go hereOriginally Posted by JohnWPB
Ok, I see the examples on how to tell RR to do something, but how do you tell MDX from RR what to do? (Turn on digital output 1) as well as check the status so an indicator can be on/off based on the state of digital output 1.
Also how would you pull information into RR such as temperature probe hooked to Analog in 1 and have it automatically update?

Commands sent from RoadRunner and interpreted by MDX:
MDX Code:
RoadRunner Code:Code:<commands> <command id="RoadRunnerCommand" minimum_delta_vote_time="100"> <do function="trigger output" functionTargetID="Digital Output 0" vote_opinion="on" vote_priority="medium"></do> <do function="trigger output" functionTargetID="Digital Output 1" vote_opinion="on" vote_priority="medium"></do> </command> </commands>
What it does:Code:/, B, x, y, w, h, Command;COMMANDCODES, Tooltip B02,348,70,104,75,"fusion_vote_RoadRunnerCommand",""
When the button on RoadRunner is pressed, the command "RoadRunnerCommand" is sent to MDX. MDX will only recognize commands that first are fusion related, and that are of the vote type. I have set this to be seperated by underscored. So "fusion_vote_ZombieAttack" will send the command "ZombieAttack" to MDX. MDX will then look in the COM section of your configuration file under the <commands> tag for each <command> element. If the <command> element id equals that of the command receives it executes its votes (the <do> elements). The syntax is identical to those called from if/then logic blocks.
** Note: I am not a RoadRunner skinner guru, but I am guessing you can send that command from RoadRunner more ways than just a button. But I havent tried very hard to find out if it can be done some other way. I am sure a guru around here can elaborate.
==================================================
==================================================
Commands sent from MDX and interpreted by RoadRunner:
MDX Code in the COM area:
MDX Code to activate:Code:<executable_commands> <external_COM_id id="RoadRunner.SDK"> <command internal_id="RoadRunnerCommand_PLAY" external_command="Execute"> <parameter order="0" external_command_parameter="PLAY" /> </command> </external_COM_id> </executable_commands>
RoadRunner Code:Code:<button id="NINJABUTTON_COM_TEST" enabled="yes" function="external command" functionTargetID="roadrunnercommand_play" vote="filler" vote_opinion="filler" vote_priority="Medium"> ... <vote_options minimum_delta_vote_time_down="20" ></vote_options> ... </button>
Internal to RoadRunner. Things like PLAY, STOP, MUTE, MINIMIZE, whatever else I am not sure. Like I said, I am no guru, RR takes care of that.
What it does:
When a button or logical if/then node, or remote control or even a received COM command from RoadRunner vote with their function tag being equal to "external command" and the functionTargetID equal to the id of a command (in this case "roadrunnercommand_play") then it will execute the command at the given application. So the function of "Execute" is being called in "RoadRunner.SDK", and the parameter "PLAY" is being passed in. So basically it is calling: (RoadRunner.SDK).Execute("PLAY"). If you want to send "KABLOOM" to RoadRunner, then change "PLAY" to "KABLOOM". And if you want to send "PENGUIN" to some application that exposes itself at "WildLifeThing" with the command "Add", then change "PLAY" to "PENGUIN", "Execute" to "Add", and "RoadRunner.SDK" to "WildLifeThing".
==================================================
==================================================
Values sent from MDX and displayed by RoadRunner:
MDX Code:
Nothing specific, it is built off of any configuration file.
RoadRunner Code:
What it does:Code:/, L, x, y, w, h, color R;RGB, G, B, font size;FONT, font name, Code;LABELCODES, Tooltip;LABELALIGNMENT L03,260,10,150,30,255,255,255,18,"Arial Narrow:B","fusion_ai_0", "" L04,410,10,180,30,128,255,128,18,"Arial Narrow:B","fusion_ai_0_3", "" L03,260,10,150,30,255,255,255,18,"Arial Narrow:B","fusion_do_0", "" L03,260,10,150,30,255,255,255,18,"Arial Narrow:B","fusion_di_0", "" L05,260,40,150,30,255,255,255,18,"Arial Narrow:B","fusion_varbool_0", "" L06,410,40,180,30,128,255,128,18,"Arial Narrow:B","fusion_varnum_0", ""
When a RoadRunner label is set to that above, it will poll MDX automatically. Like before, MDX only tries to interpret things that begin with "fusion".
The next field is the type, which can be "ai", "do", "di", "varbool", "varnum" which give you back respectively: analogue input, digitial output, digital input, boolean variable, numeric variable.
The next number is the index. 0 means the 1st one, 4 means the 5th one. The number is determined by the order in the configuration file, NOT the port number. 0th item is the top of the file, Nth item is at the end of the file.
The optional fourh parameter is the decimal precision, only works on analogue inputs.
These will automatically update as RoadRunner constantly polls.

OK 2k1, could you tell me how to code it so that I can send a SWC to RR through the COM port. Basically just trying to convert the code below to go through the COM port.
Code:- <logic> - <!-- Begin Logging Setup --> <all_logging /> - <!-- End Logging Setup --> - <!-- Begin Variable Declarations --> <all_variables /> - <!-- End Variable Declarations --> - <!-- Begin Logic Declarations --> - <all_statements> - <if fire_on="logic" minimum_delta_vote_time="100"> - <boolean_operation type="and"> - <parameter1> - <boolean_operation type="less than"> - <parameter1> <analogue id="swc" time="0" /> </parameter1> - <parameter2> <number>2.5</number> </parameter2> </boolean_operation> </parameter1> - <parameter2> - <boolean_operation type="greater than"> - <parameter1> <analogue id="swc" time="0" /> </parameter1> - <parameter2> <number>1.9</number> </parameter2> </boolean_operation> </parameter2> </boolean_operation> - <then> <do function="Send Key" functionTargetID="RoadRunner" vote_opinion="DOWN" vote_priority="High" /> </then> </if> </all_statements> - <!-- End Logic Declarations --> </logic>

Like that.
Exactly as I said in the post #13. The voting area's function was changed to external command, the targetID was changed to the command. Then in the general area the com part was added with an identical command id and where and what to do when called.
Also make sure all those hyphens on the left side arent in your final code. It's odd that they are there.

OK thanks a lot I'll give it a try. I'm not sure whats up with the hyphens they showed up after some copying and pasting

I'm having some issues with getting RR's COM stuff to work. I can't even get the test Ninja button to work.
I believe I've followed the examples well enough (copy and paste work wonders) but here is my conf file slimmed down a bit
Control Centre will crash immediately, and the configurator gives me warnings about "Then statement: What to do Invalid of "external command" and as I said before, even the COM section in the configurator doesn't work properly.

Thanks in advance.
Great job! You just made life much easier for us.
The Configurator's COM section is no where near complete. It should not be used as stated in post #4. I am working on it when I have a chance, but this semester is finishing up so that means final projects and final exams.
I will look at your code tonight and see what is going on.

COM for RR seems to be fully functional after the last update. Thanks dude! Now I just have to figure out why it hangs up and keeps sending votes when my voltage drops to 0...
