    Control your Jandy equipment from your PC with a $15 adapter

    I am struggling with my Aquapure with a PDA. The PDA menu never shows the aquapure. I seen the PROBE go out and aquapure responds. I then see the identify command go out and aquapure responds with "Aquapure". After that the master sends nothing. I looked for jumpers on the PDA board but I am at...

    Control your Jandy equipment from your PC with a $15 adapter

    So...I got the PDA licked in Java/tomcat. It will run on either windows or linux/raspberry pi. 1. The trick to getting a response from an Probe/Ack is to use device 0x61 or higher. As mentioned earlier, the PDA is 0x60 2. The PDA protocol is completely different and a bit sucky. What you have...

    Control your Jandy equipment from your PC with a $15 adapter

    So started visiting this again...it does turn out the the JDA/PDAA uses a different protocol.... The PDA/JDA runs as device 60. The master will also probe 61. I set up the emulator there and have been working on the interface. Basically to emulate this, you have to just send the key commands...

    Mike, I think we are both in the same boat as I have a PDA system. The PDA compatible firmware must disallow a one touch and cause it to be ignored. I have an aquapure system and I do see that device(s) putting out data. Maybe the answer is to use the address range for the JBOX and emulate that?

    Re: Control your Jandy equipment from your PC with a $15 ada J, The only type of software issue I can imagine it is would be a windows/windows driver issue... I have quadruple checked the ack packet I am sending The Jandy simulators are also unable to be recognized by the controller. I will...

    Re: Control your Jandy equipment from your PC with a $15 ada Hi Yes changed to 8 bits 1 stop bit when I saw your py code on git. Still no joy. And like vegasMike, I see data when monitoring but the simulators don't work. The simulators just say "waiting for communication". I am running 15...

    Re: Control your Jandy equipment from your PC with a $15 ada I have JBox with PDA version 2.6.1 and Aqualink Rev. MM. I also wrote a sniffer (in java) but I see some differences in the behavior of the packets from what agent-P implemented in his C code. I watch the 02 status and 00 probe...
