There is a bug in how the 2nd and 3rd device codes are handled for this mini-combo protocol in protocols.ini

Basically, the two bits used to select the correct fixed data byte are reversed, so if you select the 2nd device code you actually get the 3rd device code, and vice versa.

Hopefully this is a really simple fix for someone who knows how to edit protocols.ini but the syntax has always proven too difficult for me. I did try to fix it myself but RM would blow up after all my fix attempts.

Try replacing
(bad)CmdTranslator=Translator(lsb,comp,0,2,6) Translator(lsb,1,6,0)
with

Code: Select all

CmdTranslator=Translator(comp,0,2,6) Translator(lsb,1,6,0)

This removes the incorrect "lsb". The selector bits are msb.

That's so close to what I tried, but I think I replaced "lsb" with "msb".

Just gave it a quick test and it does appear to work, thanks Dave.

Could somebody incorporate this into the official version please?

Can anyone confirm that this has been picked up for the next official version?
