hello again, sorry for the double post
I have uploaded a test version:
www.tzapu.com/up/dsatx.rar
this one is full flash, no apollo need. What you do need is:
-get comfoolery or some other serial2tcp/ip software converter and configure it to connect on your brainstem's com port. take a note of the port you set it up to listen for incoming connections.
-start the flash app, it needs flash 9, you need to give it full acess rights to the local filesystem(loads the settings from the attached xml file) and the internet(to connect to the serial2tcp converter). You do this by right clicking the flash, click settings, advanced, go to global security settings, edit locations, add location, and enter the path where the swf is located(i.e. 'c:\testfolder\') < I don't know any other way of doing this except not loading the settings from the external file and adding them straight in the swf.
-next, refresh the window and go to settings, there enter your dsatx connected machine's ip and port you noted earlier(if local host than just enter 127.0.0.1 for the ip) and click connect.
-play with it and let me know
The attached settings.xml file contains some of the ds atx strings from the manual, if anyone has a bit of time and wants to contribute ,please add the rest from the manual and upload it here so i can add it to the archive.
Requests for zootjeff if possible
- make the counter write enabled too, i can then set the counter to whatever after it starts counting, it would help me a lot to achive my goal
- make the interval at which the dsatx spits out data configurable, even if it s a multiple of 200ms, for me there is no point in updating the data this fast and i could drop every other packet at least, even a couple, but they will still pass through comfoolery so it just wastes resources.
- the manual enable/disable aux above seems an interesting idea
Jeff, I hope the above are possible, and will help me, and i m sure others a lot after i'm done with this app. I am asking this because I was under the impression that we are able to upload new firmware through the brainstem.
Please let me/us know what you think
Alex
