ASCII or Hex Codes for Profilux?

[jcat90reefer]

Since this device uses serial I thought I'd be able to integrate it with a home automation system via the serial port. I'm having problems acquiring the code's necessary to do so and was wondering if anyone here had access to them. Basically the title says what I'm looking for but a carriage return for the codes would help if anyone has that.

I too am looking for the serial strings to use with a home integration system. Most devices that I use with a RS232 port have a communication manual that includes the HEX or ASCII commands and how to decipher the values and/or commands. So far I have been unable to locate any such manual. The control system I am integrating with is a Crestron Control Processor and it will allow me to view tank status and control the the Profilux II from the TV remote and other various Touch Panels throughout the house or on the World Wide Web. Any information on how to poll status, decipher the ASCII/HEX feedback, and the carriage return would be greatly appreciated.

If nobody has this info I will try and sniff the serial port and decipher this data myself. However, it would be much more convent to have this manual. Any data I find will be posted on this thread seeing as how I'm not the only one looking for this information.

Thanks all for your help.

Hiya

We will see if GHL is willing to release this info, but could be lacking due to the amount of competitors wishing to copy GHL part by part.

With this in mind and to protect the controller we would sadly remove any post that GHL felt compromised its technology

I will see what the big man says to help you of course though

i don't have any info on serial comm., but with boboxx's help i'm working on a ruby library to communicate with the controller via TCP.

it's part of a web project i'm working on. i'd share my code, but since i don't own a profilux yet, it's completely untested!

once i get my unit (tank is still in construction) and test the code, my library will be open source.

edit: actually, i would be eternally grateful if anyone with a controller would allow me to test my code by connecting to their controller. send me a PM if you can help.

we are working on our new web site at the moment

the new site will have a section where all the communication details can be downloaded
