LogicData Compact Support

[DanielHoughtaling]

Any possibility of a patch cable to connect to a LogicData Compact controller?

I will definitely look into this. I've been wanting to create adapters for desks that use different physical connectors or different pinouts, so I will add it to the list!

Awesome thanks. Would love to add your device to my desk if at all possible.

Just wanted to let you know that I am in touch with a custom cable manufacturer to get some adapter cable prototypes made. That datasheet you linked is super helpful, btw!

You can follow my progress here: #5

Oke Compact can have 2 types of Handsets:

1. Parallel handset (older) Table is controlled via 4 parallel lines, current position of the table (can be inch or cm, depends on the region) is received over serial interface (Baud 9600, 8E1). Parallel lines are idle high 5V, press -> button pull down to drive. There are 4 different types of parallel handsets 4M2, 4M4 (most common), 6M2, 6M4

4M2	4M4	6M2	6M4	HS4	HS3	HS2	HS1
no input	no input	no input	no input	0	0	0	0
Up1	Up1	Up1	Up1	0	0	0	1
Down1	Down1	Down1	Down1	0	0	1	0
S	S	Mem2	Mem2	0	0	1	1
Mem1	Mem1	Mem1	Mem1	0	1	0	0
Up1 alt.	Up2	Up1 alt.	Up2	0	1	0	1
Mem4	Mem4	S	S	0	1	1	0
Mem2	Mem2	Mem3	Mem3	1	0	0	0
Down1 alt.	Down2	Down1 alt.	Down2	1	0	0	1
Mem3	Mem3	Mem5	Mem5	1	0	1	0
unassigned	unassigned	unassigned	unassigned	1	0	1	1
unassigned	unassigned	Mem4	Mem4	1	1	0	0
Mem1+Mem2+Up1	Mem1+Mem2+Up1	Mem1+Mem3+Up1	Mem1+Mem3+Up1	1	1	0	1
unassigned	unassigned	Mem6	Mem6	1	1	1	0

2. Serial handset (newer) Table is controlled entirely over serial interface with serial settings:

Baud:	115200
Parity:	even
Start-bit	1
Stop-bit	1
Flow-control	none

Will sniff out data packets when/if needed.
