Kenwood DT-7000s Protocol

Rex,

Any progress on a module for this device? I have to use one in a job we are dealing with and it would be a huge help if you even have basic functionality available.

Thanks,

Rex,

I was wondering if you had made any updates to the Module you posted in this thread for the Kenwood DT-7000S module. Thanks

Hi Dan,

I abandoned writing this module a long time ago. But I can answer your question.
The cChannelNumber variable is populated by using the system number keypad on a Modero Touch Panel, for example Press 123 then enter on the system keypad and the cChannelNumber variable = "123". This would change the DT-7000S to channel 123.

The data_event starts the time line and begins polling the DT-7000S for feedback based on the last channel entered into the keypad. The timeline_event sends the results to the TP.

The protocol is flawed and why I abandoned the module. There is no way to track if the channel changes from the front panel, remote control etc. The work around is when the module comes online set the channel to a default and hide the remote and restrict front panel access.

Hope this helps,

Rex

I've almost got it, but not quite. Still can't figure out the system keypad part. I understand how to get the keypad up, but I'm still not sure what I should be passing to the function as cChannelNumber. Best I can tell the keypad doesn't output any variable. What should I have in my mainline to pass to this?

Thanks!

The system keypad outputs a string from a data event.

This is copied from the module.

DATA_EVENT[dvPanel]
{

STRING:
{
REMOVE_STRING(DATA.TEXT,'KEYP-',1); // looks for keypad string and removes header
cChannelNumber = DATA.TEXT // sets cChannelNumber value from data.text
{
SEND_STRING dvTuner,"STX,SEL_CHAN,cChannelNumber,ETX" //Changes channel
}
}
}

So what am I passing the module when I include it then? I just don't know what I should be putting in there for that place. For instance I have

DEFINE_MODULE 'DT7000S_Module' DTSIR(dvSirius1,vdvDenMVP_SR,XXXXXXX)

What should I have in place of the X's?

Thanks again for your help.

Dan
