New USB_UIRT on Mister House - crashing (abend)

[caseybragg]

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) :

My USB-UIRT flashes when I press a remote control.



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
