Serial RS232 Projector Control examples

[SenteqUK]

Hi.

New to this software and am getting most ideas sorted but the Serial is confusing me.

I wondered if anyone had some examples of controlling projectors via the Serial usb device?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi @SenteqUK,

the forum holds a few posts on this topic for example here:

Control Projector with RS232

I finally solve it ! Here the code for the futur generation Power on : op('serial1').send('\r*pow=on#\r', terminator='') Then power off : op('serial1').send('\r*pow=off#\r', terminator='') … So you see the pattern, look at your \r Thank you so much Richard Burns & Alexandre Dagenais on Facebook I use Device Monitor Studio to read the difference between Tera Term and Touch.

Is there a specific point where you are stuck?

Hi Markus. Im struggling with the pythoin side and getting these commands through the Serial.DAT set up where i can enter my commands and receive commands through this port.

Complete beginner to this way of setting up.

I have been able to set up the Serial.TOP to receive the commands i have been sending and they are appearing in the TOP. Its sending out commands that im struggling to set up.

Hi @SenteqUK

could you share the project here as you have it at the moment? This will make it easier to give you concrete help.

To get a good basic understanding of TouchDesigner’s principles, we do recommend going through our curriculum at
