Just wondering if Blue can work with multiple receivers i.e. distributed around a house via Cat5 for example - and whether they are in some way tuneable to...
Paul, Each copy of Blue can only talk to 1 radio, however you can use multiple copies of Blue on the same PC to talk to multiple radios. If you look in the...
Thanks James, I was really trying to work out if Blue can be used in the way I was thinking. Any idea what kind of range most transmitters have? I guess they...
There tend to be two types of radios, the 10m type and the 100m type. I have one of the 100m types and probably get about 10m tops out of it, but that is...
Thanks James. Ummm – may not be a goer then – but worth discussing. Maybe an RFID inserted in the base of my skull could be the answer!!! I have a scalpel...
Just for fun (!), I thought I'd start learning VB.net (2008). One of the reasons is I'd like to be able to create my own xAP enabled Windows apps. I'm at VERY...
Hi Paul, I'll leave it to Edward to come back on xFX bits but a couple of thoughts.... Are you after a standard or an xFX based .Net application ? Not too...
Thanks K, ... Not really sure yet - depends which is easiest (or best) to use - without knowing much about the coding side of each, I have no way of telling...
For VB6 my recommendation would be to use James' xAP Intranet OCX which is fairly well documented on the mi4 site - Plus I have used it so I will be able to...
I have a xAP BSC Framework - which is basically all the code you need to implement a BSC device model in VB6. It originally used Patricks OCX but due to the...
Not quite "Hello World!" but this is a very simple vb.net app that uses xFx to print xAP messages to the console. Module Module1 Private WithEvents myListener...
Many thanks Edward – I’ll try those out :) Paul. From: xap_automation@yahoogroups.com [mailto:xap_automation@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Edward Pearson ...
Hi Edward, thanks for these samples as.they help very much to use the framework . could you give other samples on filtering and sending messages, as it will be...
Hi All, Just thought I would update you. I have just sent off the PCB design to get a prototype PCB made of my Zigbee interface. This can be fitted with either...
Hi all, I am trying to use the xAP OCX from Patrick Lidstone and I have managed to get it to install within VS 2008 and I can drop the component on the form,...
Hi Dave, I did use this OCX a while back in VB6 days and it does work ... I'll try and see if I have any code from then , but of course this may be a...
Hi all, I found it. I had to add an Imports at the top of the form code and now it works. VB is not one of my strong points yet but slowly getting there!! ...
Yes - one of the neat benefits about creating a xAP device or application is that you no longer have to write plugins for the major HA software applications,...
Just thought... The xAP BSC schema is a particularly useful one to implement and is very simple yet powerful and gives great 'plug and play' compatibility. ...
Hi Kevin Is pretty good that I got it working. Really is amazing how easy it is with the OCX and only took me a few hours to get the Zigbee working with some ...
The code doesn't replace the OCX - it's just based around a different OCX although you could adapt back and continue with Patricks. xAP uses 'schema' which are...
Nice work Dave! It is worth mentioning that there have been reports of memory leaks with my OCX. I never got to the bottom of it, it's far from universal, but...
Hi, I have been busy in interfacing my gas meter to my RS232 port and would now like to interface it to xap. I would like to datestamp each pulse which comes...
Thanks Patrick, I'll keep a watch on the memory leak issue. So far running over 12 hours it has not shown anything as yet. It does use a lot of memory itself...
Hi Gary, Are you willing to write code for it? I just created my first xAP enabled application yesterday and it was painless!! I would be willing to share the...
Hi Gary, xAP is essentially just the protocol used to transfer data between nodes. What you are after is an application that can interface with xAP but...
Hi Dave, Yes I would write some code as part of the reason that it has taken time to get this far, is that I had to learn VB 2008 express. By no means an...
