generalh

I need to build hex message to control my HE50SE caméra.

The message is like 8 digit in hex starting from

00000000 to 7FFF7FFF (4 digit for the pan movement and 4 digit for the tilt movement)

so i use Lhex from Peter Elsea Lobj collection.

In the C source code there is this sentence

So is it just this number to change and then recompile it to get higher values or is there much more under the hood i don't even know that it exist??

Dear List,
I need to build hex message to control my HE50SE caméra.
The message is like 8 digit in hex starting from
00000000 to 7FFF7FFF (4 digit for the pan movement and 4 digit for the tilt movement)
so i use Lhex from Peter Elsea Lobj collection.
This object is limited to 255.
In the  C source code there is this sentence
#define MAXSIZE 256
So is it just this number to change and then recompile it to get higher values or is there much more under the hood i don't even know that it exist??
Thank you for any help or comment.
Cheers
Hubert

lhex-recompiling

I had a quick look at the code of Lhex. From what I can see I am pretty sure that if you change the #define MAXSIZE to a higher value it ought to accept longer lists without the need of touching other parts of the code. However I wouldn't go too crazy. Use the minimum value that serves your purposes (possibly 512 or you might be able to get away even with 1024), but I wouldn't go much higher than 1024 given that memory for lists is statically allocated in the code. BTW, it's good to keep it a power of two, that's why I suggested 512 or 1024...
