Binary over rs232

Alright Light,

I’ve got a feeling that the HEX may give you the most accurate (if not most readable description of the code, but send it as an Ascii (byte) string.

As Veevee said, I’ve had a few occasions where manuals show commands written in HEX but in practice I’ve sent the commands in Byte form using Spellvalue (a few different projectors, Pharos LCP 1 for instance).

Have you been sending the device data and it isn’t interpreting it? Does it send back an error message in similar gobbledygook?
The HEX message example you put up there converts with some special empty symbols.

I’ve added a HEX converter in case its any help. The trick then will probably be to figure out which symbols should be constant and which you can change for your desired result.
