Reading through the manuals I'm trying different stuff. Thought of connecting to the lanbox (I spelled it wrong in the subject of this thread) via [comport]. I do get connected, but can't really see how to send commands.
I'm trying to connect via [tcpsend] via ethernet cause I think it's easier to send commands in ASCII (looks easier to me at least), but the manual says that the lanbox will ask for a password (which is 777 followed by a carriege return, so in ASCII it will be 55 55 55 13). So I'm sending [connect 192.168.1.77 4777( to [tcpsend], Pd freezes for a while and the the console says 'tcpsend: connecting to port 4777', but if I immediately after send [55 55 55 13( to [tcpsend] the console says 'tcpsend: not connected'. Anyway, the toggle underneath [tcpsend] never goes to one, so no connection is actually established.
Any ideas on this one guys?

Actually all I need to do is control two white lights which are connected to a DMX dimmer each. I've done a simple setup on lanbox's software, but can't really see how to control it via Pd. It's on channels 1 and 2, so I guess I need to send something like a list with the channel number and the brightness number, right? what's the exact syntax for [udpsend]?

i worked with it and as alexandros said itīs really easy. i once made a patch, which was a kind of simulation of an avolite board from the eighties. worked straight out the box

all the best

Hi,

Has anyone used the Lanbox-LCX sending it control data from Pd? On lanbox's
website I saw that it also receives TCP commands. Would mrpeach library's
[tcpsend] do?


Yes I have. You can control the lanbox-lcx with simple TCP/UDP commands.
At least we used [udpsend] to transmit the datapackets (looking back at my
patches. it's also from mrpeach).
But [tcpsend] should work just the same (we had to enable UDP-mode in the
firmware afaik).

I have borrowed a prototype lcx+ but I don't have it working at the moment.
All I can tell you that it is quite trivial to interface with the lanbox.
If you need any more specific information I can get it from one of the devs
if you want :)
