Since I'm new here, let me introduce me with a piece of code you might like.
As I saw many people trying to send command to the nikobus, I trust you will find the below helpful.
As already reported and discovered by some people over the internet and in this forum... it's not easy to send custom command to the nikobus due to the crc checks etc...
The easiest way (credit to people here) is to create a virtual 64positions button in your nikobus and snift the bus to get generated code.
I create a quick and dirty function to emulate a button in VB .NET
The function send_key(\"A1\",\"0000\") will send the key \"A1\" to the virtual button you have defined with \"0000\" as address.
Now, I've tried to make a generic code that would work for any button, any nikobus, etc...
1- check button_definition which gives the basic information in order to be able to build a button code.
2- the code itself
!! I've not done programmation for more than 10years... if you find some tuning / better way to do it. you will be pleased to hear from it
I'll keep going. I can do some stuff on myself but why not build a swat team if some people are interested to have fun.
