Run macro from HTTP with 1 click

[homebro2000]

I have created few macros in coolterm. I want to execute them through HTTP.
I can manually go to http page and type command, but I want to make a command file or use apple script
and execute them. How would I go about to approach this?

[homebro2000]

ok, I figured it out. First of all I have to enable HTTP option in coolterm.
Then I can run below curl command in terminal and send code to my roland XS-1HD.

curl --data "POST /?method=post&WINID=0&DATA=XP1:0;&CMD=WriteLine" http://"IP Address":8080

Thanks anyways, Hope this helps other if they are using XS-1HD or Roland devices

Hi,

thanks for posting this. I'm glad you're getting the hang of the more advanced features of CoolTerm.

When you use WriteLine with an Enter key emulation of 0x02 (from your previous post), the 0x02 is sent AFTER XP1:0;
However, the XS-1HD Reference Manual (page 9) requires STX (0x02) BEFORE every command.

It is possible to encode characters in hexadecimal when using curl to post something to the CoolTerm web server. To send STX, you can use %02 in your DATA string. So, you can rewrite your command like this:

Code: Select all

% curl --data "POST /?method=post&WINID=0&DATA=%02XP1:0;&CMD=Write" http://"IP Address":8080

This uses the "write" remote command and makes sure the 0x02 is sent BEFORE the XP1:0; command. I don't have any Roland hardware to test this with, but I would expect this to work better.

Cheers,

Roger
