where the PC5401 API protocol is writed to the serial port?

Hi guys,

Let me say first that MisterHouse rocks!, I'm very impresed by the
amount of HW suported, but (there is allways a "but"), the PC5401
interfaz for the DSC alarm systems is dead and replaced by the IT-100
module, reading the PC5401 and IT-100 "dev guides" manualls, I can see
that both API protocols are pretty simillars and I'm a programmer, so
I'm making some simple serial read/write test to my IT-100 (still in C
language, not perl yet..) and I allways get a "50196" even with the more
simple command (CCC=000, witch is like a "ping"), 501 meaning "bad check
sum" and 96 the checksum of the returned 501 command,..So, I have 2
options, I'm making some mistake in the way I'm writing to the serial
port, or 2 my IT-100 is broked...Still think that is the first one..

So, I wonder if you can tell me where to look at the MisterHouse code to
find the exact place in witch you put together the PC5401 API package
(CCC+DDD..DDD+CHKS+CRLF stuff) and how or where is writed to the serial
port to find what I'm doing wrong...

Of course, any integration that I can do on the IT-100 go to the
MisterHouse sources..


Cheers! and thanks a lote

Mauricio

Have you looked at the DSC5401.pm module file in the lib directory of mh.  I think everything you need will be there.
