Hi folks,
Resending this since I sent it with the wrong orig.
address the first time:
I have modified the 2.x drivers for the USB Powerlinc
(I have an 1132U) to add limited support for extended
code commands (ext code 1 - for data /control; NOT
extended data). I'd like to submit the changes for
review/testing but am new to sourceforge in general
and have no idea how.
I only have a couple of LM14s (2 way lamp dimmers by
X10) and that is all I could test with. The changes
allow the user to send an extended command directly to
a unit address:
$ echo EXT 3F31 > /dev/x10/a1
where 3f is the data byte, 3 is the command type, and
1 is the extended command itself. The data format is
spelled out at
ftp://ftp.x10.com/pub/manuals/xtc798.doc. The command
above for example, means "Turn on immediate at 100%
brightness".
I did this because I use the extended commands to
setup a lamp as a morning alarm. Turn on at minimum
brightness no matter what the previous state, then
ramp up slowly to max.
I also implemented a decoder for extended code
responses, but have only tested this with the above
mentioned LM14s. Also, given the way the WISH drivers
currently work, I have no idea how to report that
status back to user mode applications - it just
generates some prints to /var/log/messages.
My work is based on Ubuntu Feisty.
/br,
Ardi
