I have written a simple VB program to control certain Rotel gear via the RS232 interface, available on my highly polished web site here http://www.sbarnard.nildram.co.uk/ :alol:
Its not quite complete, there are a few buttons missing and the display can get corrupted sometimes. I'm also not sure if any run-time files are needed, but anyone is welcome to give it a try. I cant guarantee it will work with anything but an RSX-1055, however common functions share the same commands between units so should currently support all units described in the RS232 interface doc on Rotel's site.
Now you're all probably wondering what the use of such a tool is when we all have perfectly good remotes. Well it was primarily an exercise for the author, and the plan was to port it to Java (so I can learn it), and also just a bit of fun.
If anybody seriously thinks they might use it then let me know and I will complete development of it.
