NEW Car2PC Plugin under development

[Nerve]

but doesn't the machine shutdown anyway? It did in my FTO although I was using the M1 shutdown controller which I think might have special powers! I guess with a normal ATX PSU you would have that problem. Well if there is call for it I can add it.

Keep those ideas coming!

Version 0.3 available for download!

See first post for details!

This was an all-nighter so if there are any problems let me know



BTW The log file is now in plugins/Car2PC/car2pc.log. Exceptions will still appear in usual error.log file though. I'll add the option to stop logging in Setup screen at a later date.

So... I tried 0.3 version and I got this error log.

Also when I go to the setting it keeps saying No CAR2PC to configure. Almost like it doesnt detect it. I put version 0.2 back, it works fine.

Forgot the Car2PC.log file. Here it is

Another thing

Car2PC adapter sends "ST" continuously when its turned off or the Car stereo is changed to CD or Radio or Power Off

So just like when its On, it sends PL, it sends ST, ST, ST.... when its off.

Yea as I said late night. One place I forgot to ignore those. Give me a few minutes and I'll have it fixed.

[nintwala]

Take your time... Get some rest I am sure its well deserved.

Thanks...

Ok new version up. Had to modify the port detection. The NullReference exceptions you were getting were because it wasn't detecting the Car2PC because I found a problem with the existing detection routine and in trying to fix it created another problem!

There is quite a bit of logic involved in determining if the port open is the one the Car2PC is connected to. Especially with it sending these commands every few seconds. I could just detect the incoming commands but I wanted to make sure correct comms has been established by sending it something that I know generates a certain response (e.g. a firmware request).

It's tricky when there isn't a device for me to test on.

Anyway, try this new one and if you get any problems I'll be on hand to sort them.

Yea saw the ST in your log you posted earlier. Both PL and ST are ignored by the readers (just not originally when first opening the port).

I am gonna test it right now.

NOTE: I saw two Car2PC DLL files in the zip file in your first post. I think you should remove the old one.

Yea I saw that two. Missed a \ when messing with compiler options. Fixed in 0.3.1
