Just finished EmpegTray v1.0 (build 1.00). Just a little application that allows you to control your empeg over the serial port from the system tray or thru hot keys. You can also find the source code on my site. Anyways, you can get it at http://www.heathcosoft.com/empeg.

I don't plan on making a help file because it's fairly straightforward - run the program, it will create an icon in the system tray that you can access. You can either click on the menu item command, or you can click on setup to allow you to assign hot keys to each menu item.

-- Also, there's one annoying bug that I can't figure out that after awhile, the commands might stop getting thru to the empeg and you have to restart the program. Anyways, if you figure it out, I'll give you a dollar or something

By the way, the program stores the hot key settings in an empeg.ini file in the same directory as the empegtray.exe executable. So if you move the exe, make sure you move the ini file with it if you want to keep your settings.

1.01: Configurable serial port...

Thanks!

This looks very cool. I will definately use this when (if) it has functionality via http.

Where can I find some info on how to send commands via http?

Build 1.01 is out, get it at http://www.heathcosoft.com/empeg. Allows you to select COM port to use (1,2), and only opens COM1 when sending commands.

Wow, my psychic prediction worked!

Check out http://empeg-hijack.sourceforge.net/features.html towards the bottom.

HTTP commands via Hijack:

http://your.empeg/dev/null?BUTTON=xxxxxxx;BUTTON=yyyyyyy



to play a tune using the FID number (replace 999 with fid):



http://your.empeg/dev/null?SERIAL=%23999

The path in these examples is "/dev/null", which returns no data, but you can use any valid path you like, such as:

http://your.empeg/proc/empeg_notify?SERIAL=%23999

Also useful, is reading from /proc/empeg_notify, which gives the same info normally available from the serial port when "[output]notify=1" is specified in the config.ini file.

Working on it now... should have HTTP implemented by tonight -- damn I got a midterm tomorrow too

Yeah, beware though.. I think the "play a tune" serial command ('#100') is broken in the current betas.. or at least it didn't work for me under beta7. But newer betas appear to have it fixed again.
