 |
|
Guys,
Just wanted to share the latest plugin for VAG USB HU adapters.
Here are 3 files:
1. FTDI generic wrapper lib - to be used by other apps which embeds the supports. Static linking.
2. WinAmp plugin source - to be used via WinAmp. Just an example how the the lib can be used
3. WinAmp plugin installation
The libusbhu API as follows:
int HU_Init( void ); | Quote: | | Returns a number of HU adapters attached. Error indicated by -1 |
HU_Connection* HU_Open( int iIndex, char* sParams ); | Quote: | | Opens up HU adapter by its number. The first attached adapter is 0, the second is 1 and so on. In case if success, returns non NULL pointer to a structure. |
void HU_Close( HU_connection *conn ); | Quote: | | Closes HU adapter opende via HU_Open() |
char *HU_GetState( HU_connection *conn ); | Quote: | | Returns state of the HU adapter as a \n delimited string. In some modes adapter stores current track or disk numbers. Also such flags as MIX, REPEAT and SCAN can be captured by HU_GetState. |
char *HU_GetEvent( HU_connection *conn ); | Quote: | Returns a string of events came from the HU. This call is a non blocking call and in case if there was no event from HU, it returns empty string. In case there was an error, it returns NULL. To retrieve an error code use HU_GetLastError().
Event string has the following format: "{CMD}\t{PARAM}\n{CMD1}\t{PARAM1}...." |
int HU_SetState( HU_connection *conn, char *txt); | Quote: | Set status to HU. This function will block until all data is sent to HU. The format of state string (txt) is shown below:
"{CMD}\t{PARAM}\n{CMD1}\t{PARAM1}...." |
The full list of commands and parameters shown below: | Quote: | TR\tXXX\n track number was changed to XXX (in/out)
DS\tXXX\n disk number was changed to XXX (in/out)
PL\t{0|1}\n play started (1) or stopped (0) (in)
PA\t{0|1}\n pause was turned on (1) or off (0) (in)
FF\t{0|1}\n fast forward was turned on (1) or off (0) (in)
FR\t{0|1}\n fast reverse was turned on (1) or off (0) (in)
NT\n next track button pressed (in)
PT\n previous track button was pressed (in)
ND\n next disk button pressed (in)
PD\n previous disk button was pressed (in)
MX\t{0|1}\n MIX button was pressed (in)
RP\t{0|1}\n REPEAT button was pressed (in)
SC\t{0|1}\n SCAN button was pressed (in)
TM\tHHMMSS\n Track time (out)
NM\tSTRING\n Track name for those HU which supports text (out)
AL\tSTRING\n Album name for those HU which supports text (out)
AR\tSTRING\n Artist name for those HU which supports text (out)
DB\t{0|1}\n Turn off/on the debug mode. In that mode some additional info is coming from the car bus. Actual data depends on car stereo(out).
VR\n Return the firmware version (in/out)
SN\t{0|1}\n Turn the passthrough sound on/off(out)
|
In case if you do not wish to use library you're welcome to read/write directly from USB com prot.
The message format as follows: | Quote: | FF<len><CMD><PARAM>
For instance TR command will look like: FF 05 T R 0 0 1
PL command as follows: FF 02 T R |
Thanks,
Dmitry/

For the latest version of a libusbhu library use the code below: | Code: | cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@pymedia.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/pymedia login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@pymedia.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/pymedia co -P libusbhu |
I'll post direct download after we complete new functions such as passthrough and sniffing  |

Is this still the place to get the latest library? Sorry for the incredibly long delay, but I'm ready to integrate it into AutoHotKey http://www.autohotkey.com/ now. This will make it a lot easier for people to make their HU control arbitrary functions under Windows. |

I'm writing xmms plugin to receive events from HU and send commands to xmms or execute shell command. Main plugin framework is ready, now I'm plugging in some code from libusbhu and I'm wondering how current the code is.
Anybody tried to compile it with latest kernels, udev, etc?
I have my system based on kernel 2.6.18 compiled for via epia-tc 10000, with udev, and didn't try to compile the library on that system yet ( the reason is that I keep my carputer in the car, but do development on some test machine with 2.4 kernel at home).
Jbors, do you have any feedback on libusbhu on newer linux distros?
Regards,
Jack

It should be ok. I did testing on 2.4 and 2.6. It works fine.
Basically I would recommend using standard kernel driver for ftdi_ser or something and just change 2 functions in libusbhu to read from serial device instead of d2x. |

I didn't analyze libusbhu with details, all I found there is that it just uses regular kernel driver prototypes, so I think it should work fine.
The other thing is that I wanted to implement a function that sends some text to HU to be displayed. With my monsoon single din radio it's not going to work, but there are other ones that can accept some text to display. Any good reference to protocols for HU's?

| Usually text is sent to HU via NM, AR, AL commands. There is no way to send generic text to HU. The only exception is BMW. |

| Why do you recommend talking to the com port directly. Is the library buggy or something?! |

No, just D2X is EOLd so no reason to use another layer of API  |

Sorry I'm new here. I didn't understand a word of that  
D2X is the driver?
EOLd? end of lined? You mean it's not used anymore?
*Brushes dust of com port handling memory banks*
Does that hueml work with the grom console app or should I just hook up to a port using a terminal program? Just wanna see what happens when I hit a button in the emulator (trying to make sure things are working before I start). |
