Trying to control Roland XS-1HD

Post by homebro2000 »

I used to use teraterm on my windows PC to control XS-1HD through serial port (RS232 with USB cable converter)
Below is command I used

connect '/v /c=1 /BAUD=9600'
show -1
SEND #$02
SEND 'XP4:2;
closett

It worked great, however I cannot replicate this with coolterm on my Mac m1 mini computer.

Here is the link to the manual for XS-1HD from roland (https://static.roland.com/assets/media/ ... ng02_W.pdf)

What am I missing?

I figure it out.

In order to send STX commands, I needed to add 02 to the "Enter Key Emulation" -> Custom.
This automatically adds STX to the beginning of the string I send. 02 represents the STX in hex.

I hope this helps others with Roland switcher.

Great! I'm glad you were able to figure it out!

You can also define macros for your most used commands. For example, you can make a macro named "XPT Input = 2" or something like that and set the macro string to "\x02XP4:2;". And you can do this for all the commands you are using. This will give you a quick way of sending commands without having to manually type them each time.
