Vista Spyder Remote Access to Catalyst

I'm trying to trigger Catalyst presets from the Vista Spyder X20.
The Spyder sends a UDP or TCP string in ASCII format to a user specified
port at a user specified IP address.

I'm trying to trigger Catalyst presets from the Vista Spyder X20.
The Spyder sends a UDP or TCP string in ASCII format to a user specified
port at a user specified IP address.

you can send a http web command?
to port 8080



or a midi note equivalent over tcpip

there are multiple different ways to trigger presets - the easiest is to use an http command- ( which is tcp html GET command - underneath )

goto the web server builtin-

on local machine- the presets page is-

http://localhost:8080/catws/presets.html

on remote machine use ip address

to trigger preset use this:

http://localhost:8080/commands/?RunPreset=1

GO

if you look at the address triggered from the "Go" button they are there-


or telnet to localhost:8080

type

GET /commands/?RunPreset=2 HTTP/1.0

so basically you can use any tcpip based mechanism to 'telnet' into catalyst on port 8080- and type or run the command

GET /commands/?RunPreset=2 HTTP/1.0

the 'GET' simulates the http GET command- the 'HTTP/1.0' is the end of line for an http request.

example telnet capture shown here-

should be the exact same command format from spyder - http requests are just a special format of generic network commands.
