I've been working on a VB.NET Ocelot controller component for a while. Right now it's controlling my satellite receiver from a custom PVR application I wrote a while back. I only have a few Ocelot commands coded, but if there is any interest, I'd be happy to share the component and possibly build on the command list.

Keep in mind this isn't a full blown application, simply a .dll component that you would use in your custom .NET application.

'pseudo code example
Dim objOcelotController As New OcelotController
'Changes the channel to 123
objOcelotController.ChangeChannel(123)
objOcelotController = Nothing

I do have a small interface that uses the component to store IR commands in the Ocelot. I used it mainly to program the 0-9 from my satellite remote.

Hi,

I am havily interested in your work. I like to interface the Ocelot with other software like misterhouse or mediaportal.
Can you share the code can we extend it to full protocol support?
I like to hear!

John

I too, would like to see what changes ADI has made to the serial line protocol since I last visited this subject . I am migrating away from Windows dependency and thus from VB. That, however does not have any affect on protocols serial or TCP/IP

I have little interest in propriatary interfaces and the like, but building code (even if propriatary) to a publicly architected standard is always a good thing. You didn't say that sockets were involved. It's the only means that I know of for allowing multiple, concurrent, independent applications to believe they each have exclusive access to the Ocelot serial port. I typically have 6 to 8 such programs running (in my house) all the time. I have and will continue to make my code available on http://bvntoys.home.comcast.net - at least as soon as it doesn't embaris me too much :-)

This doesn't mean we have to share code. All it means is that we agree on how Ocelot data is to be passed around. As for myself, I'll be testing my new tcl code against old, stable and working VB-6 code. TTFN

You might want to look at the comments in the VB-6 code out on bvntoys.home.comcast.net. I'd be gratefull for feedback since I'm doing it again, but this time in an OSF (Open Source Foundation) venue. The code may be different, but the comments should be roughly the same. TTFN

Feel free to look at the VB-6 deployment at bvntoys.home.comcast.net. You should be able to clone what you are looking for.

Did Anyone ever get around to finishing, or even starting a .net component?

I don't know of anyone that has.

I know I have not had time to port TSE over to .Net from VB6. With a 2 year old running around I barely have time to change my mind.
