My Transmitter is working fine, but the problem is reverse engineering the protocol further. Currently I'm preparing a "Shield" for Arduino that hosts an RM26W, level shifter for 5 V and DMX-512 capabilities. Then I want to write a simple library so allow sending packets with that.
Kind regards, Stefan

With such news now I keep my fingers crossed twice, awesome! So how is it going to work? Board with all the components, Arduino (Uno?), which sends commands to Xyloband (using some kind of panel, buttons)? What do you mean by saying "but the problem is reverse engineering the protocol further."? You - Stefan, and other guys here are doing impossible job. I can't wait for ability to see my bands working again! Best regards

I'm just curious what is the status of this project? Anyone here managed to get transmitter 100% work and communicate with band? I still have my fingers crossed i stephan,
What do you want to know ? if the project works? it's yes .. but now I have not had time to do make library
my frequency is 0x38,0x0f,0xbb,0xbb (869.500Mhz)
best regard.

I can't wait for ability to see my bands working again! When the effort in this forum was started, there actually was no possibility to get the Xylobands working again without either: - Shorting battery directly to LEDs to make it light permanently
- Replacing the firmware with something custom
- Replacing the controller altogether, e.g. using an Arduino
However, in the meantime Xylobands themselves released an "official" controller that you can use at home: The MTX and MTX Deluxe. If you just want to get your bands to light again, this might be the easiest route. However, bands need to be configured ("reprogrammed") by Xylobands to work with the MTX controllers (probably just the zone the bands react to is changed, I suspect). Kind regards, Stefan

Yes stephan, is zone to change on wristband, the zone 1 MTX(i've the MTX) and on show the zone is 2 or a other. i dont have the packet sequence to change this, do you have ?

As promised earlier, I today finished building my "Xyloshield" and published it on GitHub: github.com/StefanKrupop/XyloShieldThis can still be used with the (patched) RadioHead library, just the right pins have to be given to the constructor: // nSEL on pin 10, nIRQ on pin 3, SDN on pin 4 RH_RF24 rf24(10, 3, 4); progman: No, I do not have any sequences to change settings of the bands. If you have the MTX, would it be possible that you capture SPI traces of the commands sent with each button and share them? This would be great! Kind regards, Stefan

I have just uploaded the library for the shield to GitHub. Please have a look at the thread describing my new transmitter: xylobandhacking.freeforums.net/thread/27/xyloshield-xylolibrary-build-transmitter-arduinoI think this makes sending packets easier than before, as there are no patches required anymore and a standard 5 V Arduino can be used. progman: Would you be able to share the commands sent by your MTX? I think this would be of great help. I would also like to incorporate them in the library. Kind regards, Stefan
