USB-UIRT Forum

I've posted my question on the Mister House mailing list, because I'm sure that's the most appropriate forum. However, I'm asking here as well just in case.

In the description below I left out : Win XP Pro SP2, Active Perl 5.8, Misterhouse 2.99.

-----------------------------------

I'm new to MisterHouse. Can anyone help get my USB-UIRT connected?

When I try to do just about anything with it, MH reports a write to an undefined object at line 518 of USB-UIRT.pm and crashes (abend).



Here is line 518 of USB-UIRT.pm :
$main::Serial_Ports{USB_UIRT}{object}->write(pack 'C*', @bytes);



Here's what happens...



usb_uirt debug version :

usb_uirt debug learn (or any other command) :

Thanks in advance for your help!

You're right -- this is probably for the Misterhouse forum. It appears from some of the messages that Misterhouse is indeed talking to the USB-UIRT.

Is there any documentation for USB-UIRT's API? I'd like to try to fix the misterhouse perl module for usb-uirt (or at least understand why its not working for me).

Thanks!

Yes, you can request the API documentation from support@usbuirt.com
