I don't know if this is a problem with my code or a problem with sending the large amount of data over the rs232 connection. LuxePort Case Black for iPad Gen 9 / Gen 8 / Gen 7 10.2' + 10.5' The Case The sleek and lightweight LuxePort Case is made of precision machined aluminium alloy. I still have problems with the iPod not responding 100% of the time to changes in playlists/artist lists/album lists etc (retrieving the names in the playlist). I couldn't get an iPod touch working at all, except for the basic transport commands (no feedback). After this was accounted for it started working again. When I connected one of the latest iPods my code stopped working but after a closer look I noticed that an extra byte was being sent. I had my code working relatively well with Gen 3/4 iPods and most testing was done on a Nano. I don't use an iPort but worked out the protocol myself from the work done on the net about the Apple Accessory Protocol and have also noticed some strange occurrences with some new iPods.

The dock will not respond to external commands while the transfer is going on so you may find that if you skip forward through a bunch of tracks, the dock may appear to 'ignore' the occasional command, depending on your timing.Ī bug in the firmware of the iPod Classic causes it to crash after a couple of hundred artwork accesses, the iPort has an option on it's on screen menu to turn artwork requests off.Did Apple's latest nano firmware upgrade break two-way RS232?.

If the iPod is replaced back into the dock before the driver has detected it being undocked, it will take 2 minutes before the iPort interface becomes operational.Īn IP controlled dock will notify the system when the status of the dock has changed (The Dock Status Variable) but it is not pollable so it will not be valid after the processor reboots until it has changed once. It will take 30 seconds for the RTI driver to detect that the iPod has been removed.

Some iPort HW models including the IW4 take extra time to detect the docking/undocking of an iPod. In addition, If the GUI is on the screen saver the first IR command will 'wake it up' but not execute the command.Ī set of variables (GUI Page) allow you to know which page the GUI is currently on These commands are context sensitive, if you need left/right commands you can use the Rew/FFor commands, but only on that page. IP versions of these comands can be sent from the driver. Operation of the on screen GUI is done using the supplied remote.
