Ken , here you go.
Just a beta version , i just make some fast coding.
Now only support one controller and it will save the settings when you exit the program.
This plug-in will blind to the Windows Volume Control. So it should work on media player , iTune ..etc etc
And this plug-in will continue stream the data to the controller , when you don't use it , please exit the program.

Don't forget to set your controller's Fade Rate to 1 and get the better result.

Just extract the zip file , run the exe and the dll must be in the same directory.

Ok Kevin got to testing today and it works with any sound that the computer creates Itunes, TTS, media player ECt. and the save setting is working great. If you were looking for it to trigger from microphone input that is not working. I can see the level meteres moving in your program but there it nothing sent to the device. It would also be nice to control multiple devices

Cheers Ken

Kevin,

Received mine today! Thanks!!!

Question before I screw around too much...to set up the Ethernet (not wifi) version, is the IP address the same? 10.10.100.254?

If so, I assume I would connect it directly to my computer (using a crossover or regular cable?), change the IP address on my PC to something on the 10.10.100 range, and then follow the same steps as the wifi version?

Thanks,
Scott

That is very cool. It would be cool to see a plugin for you controller that could do that. Happy New Year Kevin

Ken , please test the new volume plugin , see is that work. It should save the IP , Port , Firmware version value when you exit the programs.

Actually from the very beginning for the RGB LED Controller , I want to build a bob light like this :

Actually that is three of RGB LED Controller , build the hardware not difficult. The problem is now to blind it with Meida player ..... need to analysis the screen pixel color

I would suggest checking out the Ultra1Wire plugin from UltraJones. I monitor the temperature in each room of my house and the overall cost is somewhat reasonable. I only do temperature, so the actual sensors are only a couple of dollars, but the 1Wire Controller and junction boxes are relatively costly.

I do think the joint temp/humidity sensors are a lot more money than the temp sensors alone though.

This is a link to the plugin author's setup, mine is fairly similar.

This is where I got the controller (HA7Net) and junction boxes (JB6)

The plugin is top notch - especially with all of the graphing capabilities that he has added.

Thanks for your information. I get that China 16 Channel PCB around US 60 , each sensor is US 8
User no request on any Graph , only need to monitor the value . I think I just write a very simple plug-in or script can make it work.

OK , Finish my work this year. Tomorrow is Chinese New Year , start for my long holiday.

Happy Chinese New Year to all of you!

It is just an old habit of mine that everything new gets taken apart ...I think the LED is OK, the only other thing would be something like a light pipe (like this http://img.directindustry.com/images...76-3553403.jpg) and mounting the LED on the board but really no one should be have the need to be taking it apart anyway so it is probably additional effort and complexity.

Me too , taken apart is my habit. But always have two result :
1) Cannot assembly again
2) Even can assembly , don't know why , will still have some extra screw stay on the table .....

How is the new volume plug in coming Kevin

Thank-you Kevin!

Thank-you Kevin.

I then utilized the two PHY_TX+ and PHY_RX+ pints for RX & TX eh?




So pins 11-14 on the board will not work for an ethernet connection? Are the pins currently disabled via firmware?

Can I use this one for my TTL to ethernet connection?

The pin you should use is UART_TXD , UART_RXD , 3.3V and Gnd

That one is not the TTL to Ethernet adapter.
I use this one :
http://en.usr.cn/Ethernet-Module-T24...-tcp-ip-module

Since the Wifi module is 3.3V , so you need to looking for a TTL to Ethernet adapter that is 3.3V. The USR one , can be 3.3 and 5v input.

I didn't use Pin 11 to pin 14. That have another function for extend the Ethernet port. But I test that function , not good enough. So I give up the wireless module 's Ethernet function.

I try to use this one before. But very difficult to find a prefect fit. I got some , just too high or too short 0.5mm , already cannot push into the case. So I give up.
