Matt or Jay,
I have been using updated versions of the Jandy AppleScripts for the last two seasons, but had not updated them on this site, in large part because it did not appear until the last few months like there was really anyone else in the community using these scripts. I have a few questions in this regard:
Are you still accepting updates to existing AppleScripts, given the push to move to establishing Plugins? If so, how would you recommend I update the posting? I currently use a background script to do most of the work with the Jandy system. It properly tests/creates variables and updates the status every 30 sec using a call to the Jandy system that, while requiring some bit/byte calculations, updates everything but the temperatures with a single call to the Serial port. I have then used a modified, simpler version of the script posted previously to allow operations for the system from Indigo.
I have been working on getting Python code to replace the AppleScripts with a Plugin, and have worked out the simplest parts (the math to decode information returned from the Serial adaptor). I've read a lot of the tutorials on the wiki, and looked into the EasyDAQ Relay Card Plugin, but am having trouble determining exactly what Python code I need to have a simple send/receive from the serial port. Should I just start a new post to get the answer to this question, or would specifics like this be better handled offline?
Thanks,
Jim
