Small program to control a Denon receiver

[erik]

I made a very small program to control a Denon Receiver through a serial port
It can be downloaded from here
http://forums.gbpvr.com/attachment.php?a...1212250037

Usage:
serial <comport> <question> <reponse> <command> <retries>

<comport> is the port used for communicating with the Denon
<question> is the command string used for requesting the status
<reponse> is the expected response
<command> is the string send to the Denon when the response is not as expected
<retries> is the number of retries used to send the <command> when the status does not change to <response>

Examples:

serial COM7 SI? SITUNER MSQUICK1 1
Checks if the chuner is selected and if not issue the MSQUICK1 command

serial COM7 SI? SIDVD SIDVD 2
Check if the DVD input is selected, if not switch to DVD

serial COM7 MV? MVUP MVUP 10
move the volume up 5 times 0.5 db. The number of retries can be changes to change the volume step per invocation

serial COM7 PW? PWON PWON 2
powers on the Denon if not already powered

serial COM7 TPAN? TPANUP TPANUP 1
switch the tuner to the next preset

These commands can be easily used in HIP to allow a single remote to control also the Denon
