Issue with ACAT tool
When I try to run this in CMD, I get this error: [!] Invalid arguments
Syntax: ACS.py <Device>
Any suggestoins? Thanks.
Update: I got it to work. For anyone else with the issue, you need to have "python" in front of your command. I made directions for this if you're new to this and aren't sure how to do it like I was. Make sure to replace "COM1" with the COM port that your computer sets. Here they are:
PREREQUISITES install Python 2.7, PySerial, linuz's ACAT firmware from Github, set up communications port using this guide (although the article is for AXNET, it will also work for AccessBase), AccessBase v2.9 (1.52 will ONLY work for AM/II controllers, and i haven't tested this on the AM/II)
open folder with ACAT python scripts
hold shift key down and right click, then press "open command window here"
paste the command shown below (note ctrl+v will NOT work for this by default, you MUST right click to paste)
Python acat_control.py COM1
type 6 and press enter
wait for it to complete then press enter
Dennis's tool is very useful. I only wrote a guide on this specific function of the application because that's what I mainly used it for. Many of the same concepts shown in this guide are applicable to the other functions in Dennis's tool. As always, only use this tool and my guide for systems you either own or have permission to experiment with. I'm not responsible for what you decide to do with this information.
