Re: [mh] Weeder board syntax in mh.ini

[Garry D. <gar...@sh...>]

Hi Michael

I have a relay board that I use to control my intercom system. When I was
learning how to use the board it became apparent that MH doesn't directly
support the relay board as opposed to the io board (I could be wrong about
that). With some kind assistance from some folks on the list I got mine to
work when I put these parameters in my mh.private.ini

weeder_port=/dev/ttyS8
weeder_baudrate=9600

and set up these items in my items.mht file. 

#Weeder board items

SERIAL,   AR,                   weeder_A,               Relays,

Subject: [mh] Weeder board syntax in mh.ini

Hi all,
I have two weeder boards (One Digital and one relay) hooked up to two
separate serial ports (Via OSX).
Oddly enough, it's better for me to have them on different ports (I have 6
free) than it is to chain together as it's in a media panel. I set one to
"weeder" and one to "weeder2" but the second board errors out. I call the
two separately and in the code have tried the second board on B DIP but mh
never sets the second weeder board. The wiki only lightly covers weeder
boards and mentions no syntax for adding a second board. Any suggestions?
I'm running 2.103 Thanks for the help, Michael
------------------------------

weeder_port = /dev/tty.PL2303-0040235D
weeder_baudrate=9600

weeder2_port = /dev/tty.PL2303-0040225D
weeder2_baudrate=9600

$weeder1board 	= new Serial_Item('AAN', OFF,
'weeder'); #A on board1
 
$weeder2board 	= new Serial_Item('BAH', ON,
'weeder2'); #A on board2

Error, serial port for weeder2 has not been set:
data=BAH
