Christie projector shutter

Is there a command I can send to the projectors (hd18k) to control the shutters without having to use the serial link in Pandora? Is it possible to do using only widget designer?

Hello,

Yes, of course!

If you want to use a direct COM connection, just open up a new serial connection in the connection manager. If you like to use the serial link device then create a serial link node or send manually via a TCP connection.

Are you using STD or PRO/ULT?

Best regards
Dennis

Thanks for the speedy reply.
I'm using widget designer standard. I have added the projector as a TCP connection client only and I'm sending the command tcpsend,6,SHU 0. But with no success

Hey Scott

Looks like you might be coding it wrong.

try using TCPSend,ID,(Request)

so to un-shutter the Christie the command will be (as per your example)

TCPSend,6,(SHU 0)

A comprehensive list of Christie commands can be found here;

Let me know if this works!

Perfect!
Seems I was missing the brackets.

Thanks
