Benq says the rs232 is for control
this is from the manual
Type Operation ASCII Write /Power On/ <CR>*pow=on#<CR>
Could the Type? Be preventing it?

The benq tech says it should work for commands. I am going to try with another projector, but I can't believe they would put in an rs232 port only for firmware upgrades?
Dunno. where did you get the command list from? (Stuff like <CR>*pow=on#<CR>)

It should work. You could try using a terminal program to manually connect. From skimming the manual for that projector it says the RS-232 is for firmware upgrades only...

Hi
With the recent talk about comport I have tried to use it to control a BenQ MX660P Projector and I am having no response from the machine.
RS-232 protocol
Baud Rate
115200 bps (default)
Changeable(2400/4800/9600/14400/19200/38400/57600/115200)
Setting in OSD menu
Data Length
8 bit
Parity Check
None
Stop Bit
1 bit
The command to turn it on is:
<CR>*pow=on#<CR>
But I am getting no response from the machine.
I am using the ascii list of bites to send the message, maybe this is incorrect?
Perhaps someone may shed some light upon this for me?
I am on Windows7, pd 42-5 extended
