Summary
Control spec for the Sharp/NEC LED Q039E2 projector (document BDT140013 Revision 7.1, "Projector Control Command Reference Manual"). Covers RS-232C serial control and TCP/IP LAN control (port 7142). The protocol is a binary hex-byte command/response scheme with a trailing checksum byte.
Transport
protocols:
- tcp
- serial
addressing:
port: 7142
serial:
baud_rate: [115200, 38400, 19200, 9600, 4800] # all supported; default not stated in source
data_bits: 8
parity: none
stop_bits: 1
flow_control: null # UNRESOLVED: flow control not stated in source (RTS/CTS pins wired in pin table)
auth:
type: none # inferred: no auth procedure in source
Traits
traits:
- powerable # inferred: POWER ON / POWER OFF commands (015, 016)
- queryable # inferred: numerous status request commands (009, 037, 078, etc.)
- routable # inferred: INPUT SW CHANGE command (018)
- levelable # inferred: VOLUME ADJUST and PICTURE ADJUST commands (030-2, 030-1)
Actions
# All command payloads are verbatim hex bytes from the source. CKS = checksum byte
# computed as the low-order 8 bits of the sum of all preceding bytes (see Notes).
# <ID1> = control ID set on projector; <ID2> = model code (varies by model). Both
# omitted from the `command` field below where they are positional response fields.

Events
# No unsolicited notifications documented in source. All responses are solicited
# replies to commands. Response framing: success = 20h/21h/22h/23h-prefixed frame;
# failure = A0h/A1h/A2h/A3h-prefixed frame with <ERR1> <ERR2>.
Macros
# No multi-step command sequences described in source.
Safety
confirmation_required_for: []
interlocks: []
# Source notes that during POWER ON / POWER OFF (including cooling time) no other
# command can be accepted, but no formal interlock or confirmation procedure is
# documented.
# <!-- UNRESOLVED: no explicit safety warnings, interlock procedures, or power-on
# sequencing requirements stated in source. -->
Notes
- Checksum (CKS): sum all preceding bytes, take the low-order 8 bits. Example from source:
20h+81h+01h+60h+01h+00h = 103h→ CKS =03h. - Frame format: commands begin with a message-type byte (
00h-03hfor requests;20h-23hsuccess responses;A0h-A3herror responses), followed by<ID1>(control ID set on projector) and<ID2>(model code, model-dependent), then LEN, then DATA bytes, then CKS. - Power-on/off blocking: while POWER ON is executing, no other command is accepted; while POWER OFF is executing (including cooling time), no other command is accepted.
- Lens drive: after sending
7Fh(+continuous) or81h(-continuous) in 053 DATA02, lens can be stopped by sending00h. While lens is driving, the same command can re-issue without a stop. - Usage-time resolution: lamp/filter usage time returned in 1-second units but updated at 1-minute intervals.
- Signal list number: returned value is 1 less than the practical number; add 1.
- Error codes: ERR1/ERR2 combinations cover unrecognized command, unsupported-by-model, invalid value, invalid input, power-off rejection, memory errors, no signal, etc. (full list in section 2.4 of source).
53 actions, all command bytes verbatim. Checksum + frame docs in Notes. Appendix value tables + default baud + flow_control marked UNRESOLVED (not in refined source).

## Known Gaps
```yaml
- "this manual is a generic Sharp/NEC projector command reference; device-specific parameters (input terminal values, aspect values, eco-mode values, base-model-type codes) are deferred to an \"Appendix: Supplementary Information by Command\" that is not included in the source text."
- "flow control not stated in source (RTS/CTS pins wired in pin table)"
- "no explicit safety warnings, interlock procedures, or power-on"
- "device-specific value tables referenced as \"Appendix: Supplementary Information by Command\" (input terminal values, aspect values, eco-mode values, base-model-type codes, sub-input values) are not present in the refined source text."
- "default baud rate not stated (only the supported set 4800-115200)."
- "flow control not stated despite RTS/CTS pins being wired."
- "firmware version compatibility not stated."
- "wireless-LAN unit details deferred to a separate operation manual."
