Ok. So I send DigitalCD a message asking for controller information (so I can get a handle for the controllers so I can use DCDUtils to command them):
DEF PROCsendDCDUtilsTrigger
messageBlock%!0 = 24
messageBlock%!12 = 0
messageBlock%!16 = &5327E
messageBlock%!20 = 0
SYS "Wimp_SendMessage",17,messageBlock%,0
ENDPROC
The doc that I think I'm conforming to is at: http://lgw21.sid.cam.ac.uk/MMKeyboard
So DigitalCD replies with a message that I can't make head nor tail of:
block%!20 isn't =0, and
block%!24 is too big to be a controller index
Anyone got an idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Lewis

well.., given those docs, you shouldn't be sending reason code 0 to DCD.
You probably want reason code 1. (ie messageBlock%!20 = 1) and then messageBlock%!24 = 0..n where n is the maximum controller window.

So here's what it looks like now:
DEF PROCsendDCDUtilsTrigger
messageBlock%!0 = 28
messageBlock%!16 = &5327E
messageBlock%!20 = 1
messageBlock%!24 = 0
SYS "Wimp_SendMessage",17,messageBlock%,0
ENDPROC
I'm getting block%!20=-64 in the response. Presumably that means I'm still doing something wrong... |

It's been a while, but I did some work on controlling DCD from BASIC.

You want to look at "remote" in the "cgi-bin" directory. It should be able to change volume, stop, start or skip tracks, and read the name of the track.
Not sure about the status of the rest of the suite, but if you want to try it, you need a web server (e.g. WebJames*). This suite was an excercise in a) controlling a RiscPC remotely and b) writing CGIs in BASIC.
* If you use WebJames, it uses its own strange CGI format unless you reconfigure it to use "proper" CGI on the cgi-bin directory IIRC

 Cheers,
Rich.

Cheers. I'm been messing around with remote control by webjames/cgi/BASIC quite a bit these days.
I'll take a look and see what I need to do. From a quick glance it seems as if I don't even need to send any WimpMessages: DCDUtils_GetPlayerInfo looks like it does what I want anyway!
