  • 1.  Carbonite Custom Control to trigger DashBoard button

    Posted 01-05-2023 15:57
    I am working on DashBoard panel buttons that I need to trigger with Carbonite Custom Controls from my ShotBox.

    I enabled RossTalk GPI Listener on port 7789 in DashBoard.

    I set up a RossTalk device on my Carbonite, port 7789, with the DashBoard PC IP Address.

    I added a Trigger ID (ME3 preset to Aux1) to my button, made the Custom Control RossTalk event, assigned my device and tried Custom Cmd(CRLF), (LF), (CR), and (no CRLF) with that Trigger ID, but none of them worked.

    In old posts, I found mention of adding the RossTalk device to an input because of a possible bug, but found nothing on how to do that.

    The Carbonite inputs are spoken for, and since the device references a PC, there would be no other reason to have it on an input.

    Is there another approach?

    How would I add the device to an input?

    Thanks,
    James.

    Try to put word "GPI" and a space before your Trigger ID.

    Juha, 

    I'm sorry for the delay in replying. The GPI_ did the trick!

    Thanks,
    James.

    In case anyone else ends up here. I succeded by using a GPI event and numeric ID in Custom Control Editor. In Dashboard I used the same numeric ID in the button Trigger ID.

    Hey, Im having the same issue. Can you explain a bit more in detail why I would need GPI?

    The Global listener only Parses on the GPI command.

    GPI is "General Purpose Interface" and was common on many devices (and kind of still is the basics if you do arduino / ESP32 projects as well)  When the RossTalk protocol was made with lots of commands -- the GPI command simulated this ability to just sent a basic trigger and then rely on the device at the other end to understand that when it's give that trigger to then run other functions.

    In this case -- the global listener acts on the GPI command and tells all panels to run the trigger --- you put that trigger ID in your button and then it will fire.
