NuVo Zero

in NetLinx Studio
So we go the NuVo XM/AM/FM/WB tuner. Very slick piece, I like it. I've run into one problem though. I can't see to get the "ZERO" command working on the XM piece while direct tuning. This is the command I'm sending, followed by a carriage return: 
*T'B'ZERO

Any ideas why it isn't working?

    I don't know the protocol and your code syntax, but you may run into a formatting problem, because the ' the compiler interprets as begin or end of a ASCII string, and gets confused. 
    Send_String dvNuVo," '*T'B'ZERO',13 "
    You may have to note the string the following: 
    Send_String dvNuVo," '*T',$27,'B',$27,'ZERO',13 "

    Thanks for the reply. I failed to note the actual syntax, this may help.
    DEFINE_VARIABLE
VOLATILE CHAR cTUNER_B[3] = "$27,$42,$27"

    Then the cTUNER_B is inserted where the 'B' would go. So it's essentialy 
    SEND_STRING,"'*T',cTUNER_B,'ZERO',$0D"

    OK, NetLinx syntax looks good. What is sent on the RS232 (Device Notifiaction)?

    Line      4 :: String To [5001:7:1]-[*T'B'ZERO$0D] - 09:21:31

    OK, it's sent what we say, so now we need to go to the protocol...
  • jjamesjjames Posts: 2,908
    Here's the protocol - it's pretty straight forward. Maybe I'm missing something, but all the numbers work except for zero. It's quite annoying to say the least.
  • Marc ScheibeinMarc Scheibein Posts: 914
    Hm.... for me everything looks good for the ZERO. Other Numbers / digits working?
  • jjamesjjames Posts: 2,908
    Yup! Everything works fine except for the Zero. I guess it will be time to try calling their techsupport. Grrrr! Hopefully someone has that used this piece before could chip in.

    But you can say them "Hey, don't ask and tell me the common stupid protocol things. 2 ACE Experts have checked that" :D

    I'm not sure what's going on here either jj. Try using a zero instead of an O for the last letter of ZERO :p

    Got It!

    OMG!!! Are you ready for this crap? To send a Zero to the XM module, you need to send 'TEN' and not 'ZERO'. However, for the AM/FM/WB module, 'ZERO' works fine. Grrr - it's a shame they didn't document this. I happened to stumble across this by accident, trying to figure what else "zero" could equate to.

    So, BEWARE!!! Use *T'x'TEN instead of *T'x'ZERO for a the number zero on the XM piece of the NuVo tuner (where x is either "A" or "B").

    What a waste of time!

    *Mega LOL* ..... for this they have to pay for a sixpack for each of us :D

    Some of these protocol developers need to get outside more ...
