Has anyone actually hooked one up and played with it yet?
mine is up & working: [Vs 1.0 dated 1 Feb 08]
after saving my files on a flash drive I used the convert device command to convert the system RP-6 to the XP-8: seemed to work fine: downloaded file to XP-8 over IP
I noticed the RP-6 still responded: so I connected a separate RM433 to the XP-8: both processors are now working and receiving/sending commands: so I can migrate one port at a time and test them without a big disruption
One thing I miss is there is no feedback from the XP-8 (RP-6 has a red LED) that tells when it receives a signal)
you can go into diagnostic mode and see if it is sending a signal: for example
menu/diagnostics/I/O/High IR Out: send a command, for example a macro, and an M will flash on the XP-8 display
Not so lucky with diagnostics for I/O ports 1-8: every time I try that the XP-8 locks up and needs to be reset
also noticed each I/O port IR port adjustment pot is set mid way up
