    Poll - Frontends

    Just a quick poll : which FrontEnd are you using ?
    It seems we're at least three to RoadRunner if I'm not mistaken, so I think I'll concentrate on this now, but don't hesitate to share your thoughts if you think other frontends should be considered...

    I will search some info's on how girder work, I will post here ok?

    Oh, Yes, I'm flattered

    Yes, I've try only one time and seems to nothing appear, but I must to try other time for security.

    Yes, thanks. That'd be great.

    You have to enter a number between 1 and 99 in the "Track Number" field then press "Set", and after one second maximum, the display should be updated...

    I've try this Internet Event Plugin for Girder: http://search.cpan.org/~gbrock/Win32...ent.pm#METHODS

    EDIT: I've found interesting info's in WinLIRC homepage http://winlirc.sourceforge.net/ and in the Developer page: http://winlirc.sourceforge.net/developer.html

    Girder homepage seems to not work today, I hope this is the correct way.
    Thanks.

    Finally I got it working. It seems that the problem is that in my program I didn't set the parity (I thought that the default was even while it is no parity)

    This is the circuit I used (though the HU on detection still isn't reliable, when I disconnected it from the HU it still thought it was on, it worked flawlessly while connected). I think that it may work even without the transistors (since my problems were in the program, not in the interface)
    EDIT: I tried without the transistors, it doesn't work.


    The components are what I had available, so they may be replaced (probably the 2n2222 would work equally well as the bc337).

    Attached is the python program, now with all serial parameters explicitly defined
    BEWARE this is not java, so it's just 160 lines of understandable code in a (shock horror) single file
    It needs a python interpreter (obviously) and pyserial. I had to add the txt extension (this forum doesn't accept python files), and you invoke it either passing the number of the serial port, e.g.

    Code:
    python cdc.py 1
    or the name of the serial device

    Code:
    python cdc.py /dev/tty/USB0
    If you want verbose output just change the line
    Code:
      self._showdebug=0
    to
    Code:
      self._showdebug=1

    Now I'll just have to find an usb card with spdif output, the blue connector (I used faston for testing) and I'll probably write a freepascal version of the program (so that'll be native under at least windows and linux, don't know if the serial library I'm using works under mac os X, don't know if pyserial does either).

    Well, my quest for a suitable circuit hasn't ended yet
    I have an inverter to power my laptop in the car (a belkin ac anywhere 140w) and as soon as I connected the laptop to the inverter, with the interface connected, the laptop shut itself off. I thought I fried my laptop, but luckily that wasn't the case: after removing the battery (and the serial port) it went back to life.
    So I thought I fried the serial port, but, no, it's working (phew), but as soon I connect the serial port to the interface it disappears (i.e. it doesn't exists anymore, like the usb adapter is freaking out).
    I'll probably have to put optocouplers in both directions (and for the spdif too) if I want to use the inverter.
    Something like this (you'll have to visit this page first to agree to the GPL license)

    I can change only tracks, the CD not change

    Great ! Welcome to the club :-)

    Yes, without the transistors, I think it will highly depend on the values of the resistors you choose, the internal pull-up of the HU and its threshold. It can maybe work with a bit of luck.

    BEWARE this is not java, so it's just 160 lines of understandable code in a (shock horror) single file
    :-)
    I guess understandable is a relative concept :-)
    But as I said from the beginning, I know Java is like a hammer to kill flies in this context and I hope more lightweight implementations will come that I'll be able to use without hogging my system (and other's).

    Do you want to host your version in another module on the SourceForge project too ?

    Yes, CD number update isn't done yet. In fact, as this information isn't part of PLAYING frames, I'll have to detect changes to this field and send the few frames needed to simulate CD change. Problem is it will probably produce a muting for a few seconds.
