Communication protocol summary
Start byte \xfe
Projector address
Command byte(s)
Data bytes(OPTIONAL)
Checksum byte
Stop byte \xff
nStart byte
The "start byte" informs the projector (in case of
transmission) or the computer (in case of reception) that a
new data transfer will take place.
nProjector address :
The "projector address" defines the address of the
projector the computer wants to talk to (in case of
transmission) or the address of the projector that answers
(in case of reception).
The maximum number of projectors that can be addressed
by one computer is 256.
nCommand byte(s) :
There is at least one command byte to define the action to
be performed. Commands that are not often used or
complex commands can take more than one byte.
All command bytes that are sent by the computer to get
information out of the projector are repeated in the answer-
data-transfer of the projector.
nData bytes(OPTIONAL) :
Wheather the command bytes are followed by one or more
data bytes depends on the contents of the command bytes.
(Some commands are not followed by data bytes at all !)

FRPPXQLFDWLRQSURWRFRO
nChecksum byte :
The "checksum byte" is used to detect errors during
transmission or reception.
Formula :
Checksum byte
= (Projector address + Command bytes + Data bytes) modulo 256
nStop byte :
The "stop byte" informs the projector (in case of
transmission) or the computer (in case of reception) that
the data transfer is complete and that the interpretation of
the command and data bytes can start.
Any command byte, data byte or checksum byte
that equals \x80, \xfe or \xff has to be converted !
Transmission :
- Instead of \x80, send \x80 followed by \x00.
- Instead of \xfe, send \x80 followed by \x7e.
- Instead of \xff, send \x80 followed by \x7f.
Reception :
- Replace \x80 followed by \x00 with \x80.
- Replace \x80 followed by \x7e with \xfe.
- Replace \x80 followed by \x7f with \xff..

Communication settings summary
Baud rate see Owner’s Manual
Data bits 8
Parity no
Stop bits 1
nBaud Rate :
Defines the speed of the data transfer.
The baud rate can be set, depending on the type of
projector, using the dip switches on the processor board of
the projector or using the menu structure.
Consult the Owner’s Manual of the projector on how to
change the baud rate setting !
nData Bits :
Eight data bits are used for each character of the data
transfer.
nParity :
There is NO parity bit used to perform error checking.
nStop Bits :
One stop bit is used to define the end of a character.

nConnector labelled "RS232 IN" :
This female D9-pin connector is used to connect the
projector with the computer.
nConnector labelled "RS232 OUT" :
This male D9-pin connector is used to drive the next
projector in a chain.
nPin-out :
The pin-out is the ’standard’PC-AT convention, which is :
Pin # Name Full name
1 CD Carrier Detect
2 RxD Received Data
3 TxD Transmitted Data
4 DTR Data Terminal Ready
5 GND Signal Ground
6 DSR Data Set Ready
7 RTS Request To Send
8 CTS Clear To Send
9 RI Ring Indicator
