    There's a Windows executable in the ZIP.. I'd treat this with a LOT of caution until MR Shood provides some context and information about what it does..

    It could have virus, trojans, it could delete C-Bus Projects, it could be anything..

    Come on MR Shood.. some detail and assurances.

    It's really nice that you went to all that effort and then shared it.

    Wait till you see what toys I have coming up soon.

    Hi peoples,

    Very happy you like it, I wrote it.

    Mr Shood, I hope your not trying to get credit for it???

    I have the original source, as I wrote it originally for myself as it saved me soooo much time. I use it mostly with RTI products, but as you guys have discovered, you can use it with nearly anything.....

    I gave it to Greg (RTI - Gold Coast), to share with fellow RTI / CBus programmers. As it would seem, it has certainly been shared and being used for other products too. Which is great!!!!

    Again, love that you guys like it.

    Not at all MR Shood.....

    I guess I got a little too excited there.

    If I'd known that so many people would like something like that I should've posted it here myself, oh well.

    Enjoy!!!!!!!!

    Actually, if anyone is interested?

    I also made a similiar version that creates a table in Excel, for the specified application, providing the RS232 strings for each group address (0-255) in steps for levels 0-255.

    ie; if you had preset buttons in your remote's design to go to your levels, say 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% or 0% 10% 20% etc. It will make an Excel spreadsheet for every address for the percentage step you provide.

    Let me know, and I'll post it here.

    Thank you mate, this programm is very helpful! we use it to send c-bus messages from Pronto, Crestron, WAGO to C-Bus

    if we want to get feedback - it's not that simple) but you made one way communication a lot easier

    Hi all,
    I see that this software creates a string$ to send from the Pronto, that bit is easy for me, but what do you have to do at the c-bus side?
    I've got a PAC on my system and use it for basic timings and if statements etc. For this to work do you have to set up a COM port and use the Readserial command etc?

    A basic working example would be nice :)

    Flip.
