tellnet local network ansd compilation

[philarete]

Hi
I'm trying to get acces on local network to telldus. Yes, we did now. It's ok, ant we can ask and answer via python socket library. But, there is a rf directory: has anyone been able to compile receive.c ?
And at this point, could someone explain:
- htc.h is the hitecc pic18 one ?
- can we use gcc ?
- Is there e configure script downloadable ?
- Is there a help link for how to use compiled sources ?

- htc.h is the hitecc pic18 one ?

Yes

can we use gcc ?

No, please read README:

The following software is required to build the firmware for TellStick Net.
* Hi-Tech C Pro for the PIC18 MCU Family, version 9.63PL3 or later.
The version 9.80 seems to be incompatible with the TCP/IP stack. Use an earlier version
until this is resolved (read more: http://developer.telldus.com/ticket/206).

Is there e configure script downloadable ?

Yes, read the README for instructions how to build the code

Is there a help link for how to use compiled sources ?

Please read the README file and see the example script in the client/ folder.

Ty
Sorry, i'm not clear.
I compiled the sources and uploaded to telldus, i can communicate thru socket with python.
I was talkin about receive.c and all the libraries in rf folders: when i try gcc ./receive.h --> no config.h / no htc.h

[micke.prag]

Why do you compile using gcc? Please read my previous reply. The firmware MUST be compiled using the Hi-Tech C compiler.
You say you have the firmware up and runnig, so why do you try to just compile one of the files?

[philarete]

... because i'm a noob.
Ok.
I thought we had to compile them one by step (i read something in forums about rising sun protocol).

I do not understand if i can find a list of the commands:
1/ in yout pythonexample for rebooting "A:disconnect" ---> what is "A:" ?
2/ in your send messages examples : 4:sendh1:S32:$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$kk$$kk$$k$k$ks
If i read well i should read [4:send] is "send" command and hXXXXXXXs is the message itslef with "1:S", one character letter message and 32:xxx means a command. Right ?
3/ So, for passing the "V+" command, should i write: 4:sendh1:V1:+ ?
why if do:

Code: Select all

msg2="4:sendh1:V1:+s"
UDPSock.sendto(msg2, (ip,p))
(test, (ip, p)) = UDPSock.recvfrom(2048)

i get an error message please ?
4/ Last: You wrote this is an "example" for switching on Arctech switch: S$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$kk$$kk$$kk$$}+ What are for example the others commands to switch on Rising sun switches or the commands to send for reading sensors info

Sorry, but hard for me to understand.

5/ How could i revert to telldu Live! firmware plz ?

http://developer.telldus.com/doxygen/TellStickNet.html

2/ in your send messages examples : 4:sendh1:S32:$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$kk$$kk$$k$k$ks
If i read well i should read [4:send] is "send" command and hXXXXXXXs is the message itslef with "1:S", one character letter message and 32:xxx means a command. Right ?

"send" is the command but the message is a dictionary with the content:
'S' = '$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$kk$$kk$$kk$$k'

3/ So, for passing the "V+" command, should i write: 4:sendh1:V1:+ ?

TellStick Net does not support the V-command

4/ Last: You wrote this is an "example" for switching on Arctech switch: S$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$k$kk$$kk$$kk$$}+ What are for example the others commands to switch on Rising sun switches or the commands to send for reading sensors info

You can use the code from telldus-core for algoritms how to encode other protocols.

http://developer.telldus.com/browser/Te ... sticknet.c
Please see the function handleMessage(), only "send" and "reboot" is implemented.

[philarete]

ok, ty, i can see the light.
1/Except for "A:disconnect". I read your page link before writing, but what i get is "you have to pick a letter (could be A or J), it doesn't matter, it's a code activation".

2/Edit: Gotcha: " else if (strcmp(name, "disconnect") == 0) "
Pfewwww

3/ When you say "use RisingSun.cpp", you mean:
const char code_on[][7] = {

Code: Select all

30	                "110110", "001110", "100110", "010110",
31	                "111001", "000101", "101001", "011001",
32	                "110000", "001000", "100000", "010000",
33	                "111100", "000010", "101100", "011100"
34	        };
35	        const char code_off[][7] = {
36	                "111110", "000001", "101110", "011110",
37	                "110101", "001101", "100101", "010101",
38	                "111000", "000100", "101000", "011000",
39	                "110010", "001010", "100010", "010010"
40	        };

I can't find a "protocolArcep.cpp" to check your translation. So, i i take the first one:
110110, it becomes: "$k$kk$k$kk" right ? So i can use:

Code: Select all

msg = "4:sendh1:S10:$k$kk$k$kks"

If i send this to Tellnet, should it blink or do something ?

[micke.prag]

Where do we write this?

you have to pick a letter (could be A or J), it doesn't matter, it's a code activation

I cannot find this anywhere.

[philarete]

Sorry for being so dummy:

product:mac address:activation code:firmware


Code for activation: ABCDEFGHIJ

Is "A" a length ?

[micke.prag]

I can't find a "protocolArcep.cpp" to check your translation.

In telldus-core ArcTech is called Nexa. You can find the code here:
http://developer.telldus.com/browser/te ... olNexa.cpp

msg = "4:sendh1:S10:$k$kk$k$kks"

The length for your S-parameter doesn't seem correct. You only have 10 characters in the argument but send 0x10 (16). TellStick Net will not be able to parse the message.

[micke.prag]

Sorry for being so dummy:

product:mac address:activation code:firmware

Code for activation: ABCDEFGHIJ

Is "A" a length ?

No, this is the activation code written on the label of the device. The one above is just an example. Your device will report something different.

[philarete]

Ok, ty. So what is "A:disconnect". Is (0x10) -> 16 in hex so "A" ?

[micke.prag]

From the documentation:

Strings are length-prefixed base sixteen (upper case) followed by a colon and the string. For example 6:FooBar corresponds to 'FooBar'.

The length of the string "disconnect" is 10 characters. 10 in hex is 0xA.

[philarete]

ok, that's clear.
