![]() ![]() Debugging with USBSnoop c/- sourceforge to determine the launcher commands (HEX decoding – guesswork and some luck) 3. A PC or VMWare or Parallels running a windows OS 2. Previous attempts for remote diagnostics have been unsuccessful.ġ. The issue is that I have never been able to get my hands on one of these launchers and reverse engineer the missile command sequence. The current version of the software has partial support for the Satzuma – with absolutely no guarantee that it will work. There isn’t a quick ending to this – might be a happy one – requires hard work. bring out the Hobbits! Begin the countdown from 100 minutes. ![]() OK, I’m off to sit in a movie theatre at midnight on the 12th of December…. there could be a hero badge in your future! 🙂 If that message is fairly well understood… and you’re still keen to engage…. – And the other assumption – that the kext installation doesn’t stuff up parallels/vmware in terms of control over the launcher. – All this assumes they have not released a new version of the launcher and logic. The Satzuma logic will need to be changed to match what it actually needs for controls. There’s one file… err missilecontrol.c (I’d have to check that name…) and in there you will find the control logic for the different launchers. If you’re really keen and have xcode installed, I can send you the latest version of the source code (it might be the one that’s online – I don’t remember). Once you have some idea as to what’s going on… it’s back to the Mac. – some launchers send a command followed by a STOP command, others can move and have to be repeatedly told to keep moving. – the trick is to do only one or two distinct commands with the launcher – UP or DOWN, LEFT or RIGHT – this produces a hex dump and you need to figure out what’s changing and therefore what the hex codes are…. – use this to trace what happens with the launcher (err… bit of a pain to get going… once you get it and see the output you understand). Onto Windows you install the launcher software as you normally would – plug in the launcher and test Then you need the USBSnoop sourceforge project – download and install. You can do this on a Mac (without a physical PC) but you would need Parallels/VMWare and a Windows XP or similar. it has been a long time since I’ve done this so education via remove control would be somewhat of a challenge. if I can physically get my hands on one, then it can be figured out…. I’ve never had any luck in getting the control code sequences for the Satzuma. ![]()
