Programme fail!

I have been trying to get a netlinx to work with an Extron IN1606. It's fairly straightforward, but I am struggling with the volume control. I had to change integers to sintigers as the volume used to go 0-100 and now goes -1000 - 0.
I changed the feedback volume slider on the modero panel, and that seems to track, as does the mute button, which also kills the audio. I just can't get the sound to go up and down.

Here is the code I have put in:
BUTTON_EVENT[vPanelOne,1] (* Volume + *)
{HOLD[1,REPEAT]:
{IF(!VOL_MUTE)
{IF (VOL_LEVEL <0)
{VOL_LEVEL = VOL_LEVEL + 20
SEND_STRING VIDMATRIX,"$1B,'D8',$2A,ITOA(VOL_LEVEL),'GPRM',$0D" // Extron switcher vol to be tested
SEND_LEVEL vPanelOne,1,VOL_LEVEL}}}}

BUTTON_EVENT[vPanelOne,2] (* Volume - *)
{HOLD[1,REPEAT]:
{IF(!VOL_MUTE)
{IF (VOL_LEVEL >-1000)
{VOL_LEVEL = VOL_LEVEL - 20
SEND_STRING VIDMATRIX,"$1B,'D8',$2A,ITOA(VOL_LEVEL),'GPRM',$0D"
SEND_LEVEL vPanelOne,1,VOL_LEVEL}}}}


Here is what the extron guide says you should be putting in:

[Esc]D8*vvGRPM[CR] Where vv is the volume value

Here is what my notifications show:

Line 176 (16:32:28):: Input Status:Pushed [10001:1:38] - Channel 1

Line 177 (16:32:28):: String To [5001:3:38]-[$1BD8*-560GPRM$0D]

Line 178 (16:32:28):: Level Value To [10001:1:38] - Level 1 Value= -560

Line 179 (16:32:28):: String To [5001:3:38]-[$1BD8*-540GPRM$0D]

Line 180 (16:32:28):: Level Value To [10001:1:38] - Level 1 Value= -540

Line 181 (16:32:28):: String To [5001:1:38]-[$02$00$FE$03]



Can anyone shed some light??

Thanks!

I don't mean for this to sound like a stupid question, but I see that Extron switch has a fixed and a variable line audio out... Are you plugged into the variable output?

Also, are you getting any strings back in response to the volume command, any acknowledgements or errors?

Dubbledex

haha! Yes I an plugged into the variable output. Although good thought, best to cover all bases. I think I may have had a return string. I can;t check just now, but will look tomorrow. I have a funny feeling it looked like an error string!

Cheers,

if it goes between 0 and 1000 that cant be represented in two bytes? are you sure that the representation is correct.

According to above, Extron is looking for a string of [Esc]D8*vvGRPM[CR] Where vv is the volume value.
You are sending a string of [Esc]D8*vvGPRM[CR].

transposed R and P.
It's either a tpye-o in your post, or, in your code.

Well noticed! I have changed this and uploaded it..WIll post soon if it works!

And the lesson learned --- Always double check your code!

So it was, not GPRM, but GRPM! Volume is going up and down, although if I hold my finger on the button, I dont get a volume change until I take my finger off. I'm pretty sure it didn't do that before, but I will check the output code tomorrow.

Thanks!
