Ui Series control programming Tutorial 1

Welcome to step one of the set of tutorials taking you through depper remote programming of the Ui Series Mixers.
In this first video I will show you the basics of seeing what a TCP socket does and the ability to view the commands being send by the HTML5 page.
The code for entering into Chrome is available on the Ui24 Facebook group.

Hi, I'm struggling to find the code on the ui24 group. You have posted the python code from the second video but I can't see this one.

All your videos are fantastic thank you. Please up the vocal volume, it is consistently slow and means my ear drums get blasted when the video ends and TH-cam starts a new random video.

[@FrankBash]

where is the link to the facebook group to get the code??????

[@rafammbass]

Every time I watch your videos I picture Stewie doing the voice over.

Hi, what is the formula to convert the .mix % double values to the db value shown in the browser app. i.0.mix=0.654246653645645 is which db value?
I can't figure the log formula out and would appreciate it very much if you can help out.

Hey, great info, thanks.. I would like to be able to control my Ui12 over midi to for example turn on / off the effect on my acoustic guitar's channel via MIDI, sent from my "DIY guitar effect switcher" on my pedalboard. I guess I can't directly connect the mixer via MIDI, and i would have to have the computer / android Tablet converting the MIDI to this ethernet stuff? Sorry, I am a beginner on this kind of subject, and i don't even know how to call it :)

[@pilot140467]

Forgot to say that there are some commercial controller software available, but none of them work with android, as far as I know :(

Maybe the next project will assist you

@@mix-record-connect9938 Thank you so much :)

Hey, thanks a lot for this Video, its been a great help. Can you give me a clou how to use the VU and RTA values? I've been seaching for quit a while now, but i cant find out how to use these Strings.

[@akislb99]

They are numeric sequences encoded in Base64.

I have tested out a bit with Python, WEB-http/Javascript and now a small app for my iPhone.
One thing I don't understand: why do I have to use 3::: in front of every text-command I want to send to the unit?
Example: 3:::SETD^i.0.mute^1 is registered by the UI-unit, but SETD^i.0.mute^1 is not registered.
I've been trying to find documentation on this - but it must be well hidden...

[@ThomasBrandtstaetter]

The example only works, if oldReceiveMessage2=receiveMessage; and not oldReceiveMessage2=receiveMessage2;
At least on my setup :)

How to get the output dB value of a channel?

[@mix-record-connect9938]

you would need to read the VU meter

[@theorignl4415]

Is the websocket server exposed tn the UI24R do you know? Can websockets be used directly?

[@mix-record-connect9938]

Yes they can, once you open a port

[@theorignl4415]

@mix-record-connect9938 Thanks for the response! Is the protocal websockets 4.x or 5.x? Is there a specific port to conmmunicate with the websocket server? And is there a way to monitor those responses as you do the HTTP in this video?

What a great video!
At 1:22 You say that the Ui changes from WebSocket to a normal socet. Can You explain what You mean by a "normal socket"? Please.

[@mix-record-connect9938]

It's just explaining that when the data comes in, it becomes a very simple text based protocol.

[@RockOfGreece]

is there a way to send these commands with Putty?

[@ThomasBrandtstaetter]

Did anyone actually find the sample code ?
