Integrating Kplayer 5000 with Crestron M2CW

Hi guys, thanks for accepting me

I am currently an intern doing some programming work with crestron and kscape.
I admit that I have little, or rather no experience at all with Kaleidescape, so I was hoping you guys could help me out here.
I have to integrate a Crestron M2CW with Kplayer 5000, through RS232 and controlled by a 1 way MT1000 touchpanel communicating with the processor in RF. So in SIMPL windows, in the COM driver bloc, on the left hand corner, I add the inputs and inside the block itself, commands defined by Kscape itself.
it's like "PLAY-------01/1/Play:\r"
I've downloaded the all the Kscape files necessary but I can't really understand all the files inside . If anyone can explain to me how I can modify the module to suit my project.
 
Hello Sani, I would examine the .smw file distributed with kaleidescape's module. It's a sample SIMPL Windows program that you can modify for your needs or copy and paste the relevant parts into your existing program.
Be sure to read the Kaleidescape Crestron Reference Manual here:
http://www.kaleidescape.com/files/d...ape-Crestron-Programming-Reference-Manual.pdf

In their example they use a TCP/IP client. You will be using RS232, All you would need to do is tie the signals for TX$ and RX$ to your COM Serial Driver. Put a "1" on the Enable line.

I would stick to using Kaleidescape's module as opposed to entering all the serial strings into your Com Serial Driver.
