I've used this model of DCDC converter in quite a few projects so I know they are reliable, but testing with a reliable PSU is a good shout just to rule that out. I'll grab a level converter just to negate any risk to the Pi.

Not at the moment, I wrote my own Serial implementation using Python, I will look at serial2net though as thats likely a better implementation.

Hi guys, stumbled across this thread, I've been down a similar road, but I didn't use the level converter should I add one? I just went straight from the Pi Zero 2 to the Alarm, no issues as yet. Other than my Pi keeps locking up after a week or so, most likely due to a problem with my code. But...

Now you mention it I think I needed some extra DLL’s. I just grabbed them off the net and registered them manually using “regsvr32 -i <dll_name>”. Glad you got it working. Plasma

So my solution was to change the VM From Windows 10 To Windows 7 and it works perfectly. No idea why 10 wouldn’t work but as that’s all I use it for 7 is just fine. Plasma

Can't make one of those, guess I better get ordering one! :)

I've now managed to connect wirelessly with Wintex using an old laptop. I was previously running it in a VM on my MacBook. At least I can talk to it now so will investigate the issue with the VM Later. I was also hoping to be able to flash the Panel/Smartcom from Wintex but seems like this is...

Not exactly as I wasn't willing to pay £40 for one, but I can make one! :) Would I connect it to the ComIP connection on Com 2 that I configured for the SmartCom? If not what do I set the Com port to so I can talk directly to it on a USB serial link? Thanks for sticking with me! Plasma

Hi yes I've set the Panel Type to "Elite 64" and have set the UDL password as well. When I click Connect and choose "SmartCom" it asks for the App Code, I get this from the Panel in Engineering menu but as soon as I click "Connect" I get "Please check your network connection and try again". It...

Thanks both for the reply ... so thats what the little cable is for!!!! Wireless keypad is now working, and I agree the timeout is ridiculously short. I was hoping this was an option in Wintex once I finally get it working. Still can't get Wintex to connect via the SmartCom, I have version...

I'm reasonably competent with all things electrical / electronic and recently moved in to a new house. I was initially planning to go for a full wired system as the house supposedly had a "first fix for Alarm", long story short the first fix was rubbish and had no where near enough cables for...
