Mandatory SPI Configuration

The current implementation of the SPI interface is a major rework in comparison to the old standard. But it remains compatible. The only configuration which must be done now is the following:

Make sure the RDM_ID and the DEVICE_FW_VERSION is set correct and are up to date all the time. For Example after a fixture update, the DEVICE_FW_VERSION should be updated immediately. This is the only necessary configuration which must be done in order that the Vision Controller works. The rest of the implementation is shifted towards RDM in order to implement generic fixtures over DMX512 and make the implementation a lot easier. The controller checks the configuration by itself and keeps everything up to date.

Startup Configuration

• 0x0A RDM_ID
• 0x0B DEVICE_FW_VERSION

DEVICE_FW_VERSION is for legacy support and should also be set. The used firmware version is derived through RDM.

Make sure you implement the necessary CUSTOM RDM COMMANDs!

Optional SPI Configuration

If you are using optional SPI configuration settings make sure you rewrite them after each restart. For this case the SYS_RESTARTED is implemented. If the iQ.Controller is doing a software update and restarts, it will forget the configuration. This must then be written again.

So if you are using optional SPI config you must check the SYS_RESTARTED flag. When the flag is high, rewrite your settings and reset the SYS_RESTARTED flag in order to detect a further resta
