Further information on kernel GPIO devices can be found at https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/gpio/sysfs.txt

## Livewire LWRP Audio

Driver Name:

  Livewire LWRP Audio

Supported RML Commands:

  - Switch Take ['`ST`']

Livewire is a distributed audio router and control system, with the components (called 'nodes') configured and controled via TCP/IP. More information can be found at http://www.axiaaudio.com/.

This driver can be used to create and remove connections between audio sources and destinations via Livewire Routing Protocol (LWRP).

Configuration is a matter of entering the IP address, password and base output number for each node in `RDAdmin->ManageHosts->Switcher/GPIO->LivewireNodes`. The driver will autodetect all other parameters from the nodes themselves. The resulting constellation of nodes can be controled with the 'Switch Take' ['`ST`'] RML by specifying the Livewire source stream number as the input parameter and the the base output number+the slot number-1 for the output parameter.

## Livewire LWRP GPIO

Driver Name:

  Livewire LWRP GPIO

Supported RML Commands:

  - GPI Enable ['`GE`']
  - GPI Set ['`GI`']
  - GPO Set ['`GO`']

Livewire is a distributed audio router and control system, with the components (called 'nodes') configured and controled via TCP/IP. More information can be found at http://www.axiaaudio.com/.

This driver can be used to control Livewire's GPIO subsystem by means of the Livewire Routing Protocol (LWRP) with both physical as well as 'virtual' GPIO devices.

Only two items need to be specified in the configuration: the `IP address` of the device to control and the `'Layer`, with `V` specifying a virtual GPIO device and `D` specifying an actual physical one. The driver will autodetect all other parameters (e.g. the number of input and output lines) from the device itself.

## Livewire Multicast GPIO

Driver Name:

  Livewire Multicast GPIO

Supported RML Commands:

  - GPI Enable ['`GE`']
  - GPI Set ['`GI`']
  - GPO Set ['`GO`']

Livewire is a distributed audio router and control system, with the components (called 'nodes') configured and controled via TCP/IP. More information can be found at http://www.axiaaudio.com/.

This driver provides the ability to access GPIO functions from Livewire- enabled control surfaces for setups that lack a virtual GPIO device --e.g. when interfacing audio directly to a Livewire node without using a native Livewire software audio driver or audio adapter.

When configuring it, the `IP Address` field should contain the address of the local interface to which the Livewire network is attached, while the `Livewire GPIOs` list should be populated with the stream number - GPIO line associations to be used.

## Local Audio Adapter

Driver Name:

  Local Audio Adapter

Supported RML Commands:

  - Switch Add ['`SA`']
  - Switch Add With Gain ['`SX`']
  - Switch Remove ['`SR`']
  - Switch Take ['`ST`']

It's possible to use one or more of the actual audio adapters as a switcher device using this driver. Doing so makes it possible to route audio directly from the adapter inputs to outputs, while at the same time using it for audio capture/playout in the usual manner.

To configure it, set `Card:` to the number of the audio adapter to use and the `Inputs:` and `Outputs:` fields to the number of inputs and outputs on the card (as found in `RDADmin->ManageHosts->AudioResources`.

## Local GPIO

Driver Name:

  Local GPIO

Supported RML Commands:

  - GPI Enable ['`GE`']
  - GPI Set ['`GI`']
  - GPO Set ['`GO`']

This driver supports a variety of GPIO devices, including:

- 15 Pin Joystick Port
- USB HID Devices
- MeasurementComputing GPIO Cards

### 15 Pin Joystick Port

Joystick support utilizes the Linux Input Device subsystem. Inputs are active-low, and should be wired as follows:

#### 15 Pin Joystick Port Wiring

Pin | Signal
--- | ---
2 | Input 1
4 | Ground
7 | Input 2
5 | Ground
10 | Input 3
12 | Ground
14 | Input 4
12 | Ground

In addition, you will need to connect 47 kohm resistors between the following pins: 1-3, 6-8, 9-11 and 13-15. While not strictly needed for the GPI portion of the interface to work, the kernel's analog joystick driver will refuse to initialize the port if these resistors (or a real joystick) are not present.

The device name of the joystick will be one of the `/dev/input/eventn` devices.

NOTE: There have been reports that some port models do not internally connect pin 12 to ground. The symptom of this situation will be that Inputs 1 and 2 work, but not Inputs 3 and 4. If this is the case, connecting the ground for Inputs 3 and 4 to pins 04 or 05 should remedy the problem.

### MeasurementComputing GPIO Cards

The following MeasurementComputing cards are supported:

- PCI-PDIS08
- PCI-PDIS16
- PCI-DIO24

The device name for the card should be `/dev/gpion`.

#### PCI-PDIS08 and PCI-PDIS16

The Measurement Computing PCI-PDIS08 and PCI-PDIS16 boards feature floating, opto-isolated inputs. The inputs are not polarity sensitive and may be driven by either AC or DC. The outputs are electro-mechanical relays with dry contacts.

Control can done either by means of an RS-232C connection to one of the serial ports on a DRC-16E card or by means of TCP/IP to a PC running SAS's Server Module software. TCP connections are normally made to port 1350 on the Server Module system.

## Sine Systems ACU-1 (Prophet Version)

Driver Name:

  Sine ACU-1 (Prophet)

Supported RML Commands:

  - Switch Add ['`SA`']
  - Switch Remove ['`SR`']
  - Switch Take ['`ST`']

Control is done by means of an RS-232C connection to the RS-232 port on the unit. Serial port parameters in RDAdmin should be set to 57600 baud rate, even parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no terminator.

The ACU-1 should be set to use factory default settings. This can be done by simultaneously pressing buttons 1 and 8 on the front panel of the unit for at least one second.

## Software Authority Protocol

Driver Name:

  Software Authority Protocol

Supported RML Commands:

  - GPI Enable ['`GE`']
  - GPI Set ['`GI`']
  - GPO Set ['`GO`']
  - Switch Take ['`ST`']

Used to control devices (such as the Axia 'PathFinder' system) by means of the 'Software Authority' protocol. Control is by means of a TCP/IP connection (typically to port 9500) on the controled system. The `Card` parameter should be set to the 'Router Number' of the router to be controlled.

Most parameters, including the number of inputs and outputs as well as the endpoint names, are autodetected by the driver.

## Starguide III Satellite Receiver

Driver Name:

  StarGuide III

Supported RML Commands:

  - Switch Take ['`ST`']

Control is done by means of an RS-232C connection to the RS-232 port on the unit. The port should be configured on the receiver to use a speed of 9600. Serial port parameters in RDAdmin should be set to 9600 baud rate, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no terminator. Once configured, use RDAdmin to create inputs that correspond to the StarGuide Provider and Source IDs available on the selected DVB carrier. Provider and Source ID data is available from the provider network.

## Wegener Unity4000 DVB Satellite Receiver

Driver Name:

  Wegener Unity 4000

Supported RML Commands:

  - Switch Take ['`ST`']

Control is done by means of an RS-232C connection to one of the two RS-232 ports on the unit. If possible, use serial port number one, as the reciever uses a larger data buffer with that port. The selected port should be configured in the reciever to be of type "Terminal" with a speed of 19200. Serial port parameters should be set to 19200 baud rate, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no terminator. Once configured, use RDAdmin to create inputs that correspond to the DVB stream names available on the selected DVB carrier.

Caution is needed when scheduling record events from the Unity4000, as the unit is capable of outputting a given DVB stream to only a single output at a time. Commanding a stream to an output will cause that stream to be silently deselected from a previously selected output.

## Wheatnet Blade LIO

Driver Name:

  WheatNet LIO

Supported RML Commands:

  - GPI Enable ['`GE`']
  - GPI Set ['`GI`']
  - GPO Set ['`GO`']

Control is done by means of a TCP/IP connection to port 55776 on a blade. The only required configuration parameters are `IP Address` and `IP Port`. The number of pins is auto-detected at driver startup.

## Wheatnet Blade SLIO

Driver Name:

  WheatNet SLIO

Supported RML Commands:

  - GPI Enable ['`GE`']
  - GPI Set ['`GI`']
  - GPO Set ['`GO`']

Control is done by means of a TCP/IP connection to port 55776 on a blade. The only required configuration parameters are `IP Address` and `IP Port`. The number of pins is auto-detected at driver startup.
