[Fixed] IRSS Serial Hex Implementation (1 Viewer)

[arsenal333]

Hello

Just want to report a suspected bug in the hex implementation using the Serial option in macros.

for any one of the following hex inputs
\xd5h
\xd6h
\xc7h
\xcch

they are being sent to the com port as 3F, rather than d5 d6 c7 cc.
This seems only to occur when a letter is used for the character of a hex double, and the default always seems to be 3F ??

The following link provides an in-depth view of testing that was done to come to this conclusion and bug report.

Cannot see anything wronf at first look.

I added some more logging to help debugging it...can you test and report back attaching the log ?

Hello

Attached are the logs and some additional screen captures from the serial port monitor.

Hopefully this will give you the lead you need to track down the issue. Many thanks for your efforts, and for a fantastic product!

I debugged it a bit and it seems the code is good

Please retest with newly attached DLL and report back.

Thinking a bit more about hte issue, it can be a settings in your monitor sw. Can you be so kind to post the url of the sw and the settings you are suing for it please ?

Simone

NOTE: I tested with 2 pcs one with IRSS and the other receiving datas with putty and it works as expected.

Ok issue found, finally. A datascope was needed

Please try attached lib and report back. I fear macro may not work as expected...

Applied the new files, problem fixed!!!
hex are representing correctly in the com port monitor and the TV is behaving as it should....

Again many thanks for your efforts. !

I'm sure your on top of it, so I'll point it out just in case, the fix works in the translator function, but hasn't been applied to the control plugin yet, as the control plugin still has the existing issue. But again i'm sure your aware of that, and you just sent a test change across before full implementation of the fix.

Will need to do a full implementation as soon as I have time...and I fear it won't be soon.
