Summary

Control spec for the Sharp/NEC FE015I2 LED projector, based on the Projector Control Command Reference Manual (BDT140013 Revision 7.1). The device is controllable over RS-232C serial and wired/wireless LAN (TCP). All commands are binary hex frames using a header / ID1 / ID2 / LEN / DATA / checksum structure, with success responses prefixed 2xh and error responses prefixed Axh carrying ERR1/ERR2 codes.

Transport

protocols:
  - tcp
  - serial
addressing:
  port: 7142
serial:
  baud_rate: 9600  # source lists supported set: 115200/38400/19200/9600/4800 bps
  data_bits: 8
  parity: none
  stop_bits: 1
  flow_control: none  # UNRESOLVED: flow control not stated; full-duplex communication mode stated
auth:
  type: none  # inferred: no auth procedure in source

Traits

traits:
  - powerable    # inferred: POWER ON / POWER OFF commands present
  - queryable    # inferred: many status/information REQUEST commands present
  - routable     # inferred: INPUT SW CHANGE command present
  - levelable    # inferred: VOLUME ADJUST / PICTURE ADJUST present

Actions

# Frame legend (from source §2.1-2.2):
#   Command:  <HDR> <ID1> <ID2> <LEN> <DATA...> <CKS>   (some simple commands are fixed 6-byte frames w/o ID/CKS)
#   ID1 = control ID set on projector; ID2 = model code
#   CKS = checksum: sum all preceding bytes, take low-order 8 bits
#   Success response header begins 2xh; error response header begins Axh and carries ERR1/ERR2
#   Parameter bytes shown as <DATAxx> are variable; copy verbatim template, fill variable part.

Safety

confirmation_required_for: []
interlocks:
  - command: power_on
    note: While power-on is in progress, no other command is accepted.
  - command: power_off
    note: While power-off (including cooling time) is in progress, no other command is accepted.
# UNRESOLVED: no explicit safety interlock procedure or power-on sequencing beyond the command-acceptance notes above.

Notes

  • All commands are binary hex frames. ID1 = control ID configured on the projector; ID2 = model code (varies by model). CKS checksum = low-order byte of the sum of all preceding bytes (source §2.2 worked example: 20h+81h+01h+60h+01h+00h = 103h -> CKS = 03h).
  • Simple commands (e.g. POWER ON 02h 00h 00h 00h 00h 02h) are fixed 6-byte frames without ID/CKS; parameterized commands include <DATAxx> and <CKS> placeholders to fill at runtime.
  • Serial: RS-232C cross cable to PC CONTROL (D-SUB 9P). Supported baud 115200/38400/19200/9600/4800, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, full duplex.
  • LAN: wired RJ-45 (10/100 auto) or optional wireless LAN unit; TCP port 7142 for command send/receive.
  • Success responses share the command's high nibble shifted to 2xh; errors return Axh with ERR1/ERR2 per the §2.4 table.

Known Gaps

- "source is a generic projector command reference; exact model-specific support of each command not confirmed against the FE015I2 unit. Appendix \"Supplementary Information by Command\" (input terminal values, aspect values, eco-mode values, base model types) is not included in the provided text."
- "flow control not stated; full-duplex communication mode stated"
- "source does not document unsolicited notifications; all responses are command-driven."
- "source does not document explicit multi-step sequences."
- "no explicit safety interlock procedure or power-on sequencing beyond the command-acceptance notes above."
- "Appendix \"Supplementary Information by Command\" not in provided source — exact input terminal bytes, aspect enum values, eco-mode values, base model type codes, and sub-input values unspecified."
- "firmware version compatibility not stated."
- "flow_control not stated in source."
- "ID2 model code value for FE015I2 not stated."
