Summary
Sharp/NEC NP M323W projector. Control via RS-232C serial (PC CONTROL D-SUB 9P, cross cable) and wired/wireless LAN. Hex-byte command framing with checksum. Manual BDT140013 Rev 7.1 covers ~60 control commands: power, input switch, mute, picture/volume/aspect adjust, lens control + memory, shutter, freeze, status queries, eco mode, PIP/PbP, edge blending, audio select.

Traits
traits:
- powerable # inferred: POWER ON / POWER OFF commands present
- queryable # inferred: many status request commands return values
- levelable # inferred: VOLUME ADJUST, PICTURE ADJUST (brightness/contrast/etc.)
- routable # inferred: INPUT SW CHANGE switches input terminal
Actions
# All command bytes verbatim from source. Framing: the full frame is
# <firstbyte> <ID1> <ID2> <LEN> <DATA...> <CKS> for commands directed at projector;
# bare bytes shown in source (e.g. 02h 00h 00h 00h 00h 02h) are the
# <firstbyte> <opcode> <00h> <00h> <len/00h> <data/cks> compact form from the manual.
# ID1=control ID set on projector, ID2=model code (not stated for NP M323W).
# CKS = low byte of sum of all preceding bytes (see source checksum rule).

Notes
- Command framing: full frame is
<firstbyte> <ID1> <ID2> <LEN> <DATA...> <CKS>. ID1 = control ID set on projector; ID2 = model code (model-specific, not stated for NP M323W in refined source). CKS = low byte of sum of all preceding bytes. - Source shows compact 6-byte forms (e.g.
02h 00h 00h 00h 00h 02h) — these are the<firstbyte> <opcode> <00h> <00h> <len> <cks>representation before ID1/ID2 insertion per manual section 2.1. - Response first byte encodes class:
2xhsuccess (no/echoed data),Axherror (carries ERR1/ERR2). - Lamp/filter usage time updated at 1-minute intervals despite 1-second resolution.
- Lamp remaining life (%) returns negative if replacement deadline exceeded.
- Many value lists (input terminal codes, aspect values, eco mode values, sub-input values, base model types) live in an Appendix "Supplementary Information by Command" not present in the refined source.
Spec done. 56 actions enumerated (all source command rows), transport serial+tcp, traits powerable/queryable/levelable/routable. Big gaps flagged UNRESOLVED: model code (ID2), default baud, appendix value lists not in refined source.

```
## Known Gaps
```yaml
- "model name \"NP M323W\" supplied by operator, not printed verbatim in source manual (generic multi-model reference). ID2 model code not stated for this model."
- "flow control not stated in source"
- "baud rate has 5 selectable values, source does not state which is default/factory. baud_rate above uses highest as placeholder."
- "source lists \"Communication mode: Full duplex\" but no flow_control (RTS/CTS hardware lines present in pinout, usage unstated)."
- "source does not document any push/event mechanism."
- "no explicit power-on sequencing interlock or safety certification"
- "ID2 model code for NP M323W not stated."
- "factory-default baud rate not stated (5 selectable)."
- "flow_control not stated (RTS/CTS pins present in pinout, role unclear)."
- "full input terminal / aspect / eco mode / sub-input / base model type value lists require Appendix not in refined source."
- "lens target byte values for 053/053-2 only partially enumerated (06h=Periphery Focus; FFh=Stop on 053-2)."
- "firmware version compatibility not stated."
- "model name \"NP M323W\" supplied by operator; generic manual covers multiple Sharp/NEC projector models."
- "model code (ID2), default baud, appendix value lists not in refined source."
