#twatch TCP/IP driver plugin

Post by snapp »

I have been playing with the #twatch I purchased from seedstudio it is quite a neat unit. I was hoping somone who is code literate help with a plugin so smartie outputs over tcp instead of using software to link virtual ports. I would do this myself but i am code illiterate.

I got a #Twatch too... but no time to start writing driver plugin... I'm already behind in most of my projects...
In any case the driver is necessary for this device... :(

I would love to see this plugin as well.

Im sure if a tcpip driver was developed it would open up a whole new set of hardware that could be developed along with the twatch.

Hmm, if I'm not mistaken there is already a plugin that works over TCP-IP ;)

I am 99% sure that one of the display drivers uses TCP/IP to send data to the LCD... can't remember which one though.

It must be the Irtrans.... but I cant find a way to set the port on this driver.... (I mean in the compiled driver)

How about line 242?
Maybe make it a driver parameter?

Code: Select all

         RemotePort := '21000';
Edit:
Sorry, now I got you. You meant the compiled driver.
Only a recompile with the port as parameter would work, but then again it can also be set up for your specific device.
PS: I don't know the device so can't help there.
