[LCtalk] AppleScript, Salling Clicker, perl for LanBox

[Fokko van Duin]

Hello all,

Some customers asked me to create some AppleScripts or even better a 
script collection for Salling Clicker. See also 
<http://www.lanbox.com/support/Talk-Archive/msg-01913.html>

Well, I did, and you can download them using this link: 
<http://www.lanbox.com/downloads/lanboxscripts.zip>

The LanBoxScripts zip file contains some AppleScripts, a Salling 
Clicker collection file, and an improved cmdwrite perl script. You 
should place the LanBoxScripts on your desktop, else perl can not 
find the cmdwrite shell file.

The Salling Clicker file has the following clicker items:
a. Set 1-4 in A; It allows you to set ch 1-4 manual in A to any value 
on your Phone.
b. Go next cue, Go next step, Go previous step, Go previous cue, Go 0 (reset).
c. Go 10.1 in A, and Go 10.3 in A.

As you can see from the examples, it's easy to let the box do near 
anything, even from your phone :-)

The AppleScript versions, which do not use "SEC helper" are also included.

The perl shell script is improved, and allows now decimal numbers to 
be converted to 2 or 4 digit hex by using %2 or %4 metas in the 
command string. So e.g. from AppleScript it's now possible to pass 
layer, cuelist and step as decimal values, e.g.:


do shell script "perl ~/Desktop/LanBoxScripts/cmdwrite.pl " & device 
& " '*56%2%4%2#' " & layer & " " & cuelist & " " & cuestep

If you have questions about scripting the LanBox, just let me know.
