A module for Flanders Scientific Video Monitors? #1309

Open mcleanb1 opened 10 months ago

I can't seem to find a published sdk for them, but there is a standalone IP remote utility and support for the official streamdeck software. Would it be possible to get a companion module for these monitors? I have a few and would be happy to help test in any way I can. Thanks, Bryan

If the control protocol is not available, your chances are rather bad. Reverse engineering is an option but as long as no developer has an own interest in such a module I doubt it's gonna happen.

Although given there are the generic UDP and TCP modules, if you're a technically competent user and happy to spend some time banging your head against a wall you could try and use Wireshark to work out what messages the standalone tool sends. Once you've done that, you can use the generic modules to give you two thirds of what you want, as a Companion module would only give you feedback and a nicer UI.

It's also always worth a quick Google and a search around GitHub in case someone can already talk to it in another programming language.

I have the API docs. I was under an NDA with them for awhile but pretty sure it expired. Not sure if I can share them or not. But I was given access in order to use them to make open source code, so I could probably use them to make this
