URL Encoding

JasonTan

Hi All,

How to convert hex code $AA to URL %?? and $FF to %??

I'm trying to control Samsung TV thru Vision2 Master using Amino box sending commands to Samsung TV but when i use the code %AA%11%FF%01%01%12 for power on command, the string that I receive is some mis-interpretted commands on Amino RS232 output. I have captured the string using laptop software.

If controlling Panasonic TV, using %02PON%03 in the netlinx module, it will work but it can't work for %AA and %FF guess I can't directly perform URL encoding for hex code $AA and $FF.

Hope someone can help here...

Thanks...

Hmmm.
Post the code where you create the string please.

Sample of the code sent to Vision2 Master

We have found a module in AMX website and tried using button event to trigger the command below-mentioned:

BUTTON_EVENT[dvTP3a,1]
{
PUSH:
{
SEND_COMMAND vdvV2,"'SENDRS232-10.160.84.72,9600,ª%11 ÿ%01%01%12'"
}
}

BUTTON_EVENT[dvTP4a,1]
{
PUSH:
{
SEND_COMMAND vdvV2,"'SENDRS232-10.160.84.72,9600,%AA%11%FF%01%01%12'"
}
}

Both commands can't work after Amino Box RS-232 Output comes out something different and Samsung TV cannot be controlled by the commands received.

However we noticed that the command for Panasonic Projector / TV Displays work like the one show as follows:

BUTTON_EVENT[dvTP4a,1]
{
PUSH:
{
SEND_COMMAND vdvV2,"'SENDRS232-10.160.84.72,9600,%02PON%03'"
}
}

So the problem lies with %AA and %FF that cannot be encoded correctly and we need ways to make it work.

Hope you can help us on this.
