Reading parameters

[ACavuoto]

Hi Kelvie,

Apologies for opening an issue about this, but I was wondering if you could help me understand what this piece of code is doing:

I'm trying to build a lighter version of sidekick to easily swap inputs from the tray, and I'm trying to use your code as "live" documentation. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
A

Which part are you struggling with?

This creates a bytearray and sets the fields according to to the packet format. If the property value (prop16) is larger than one byte it splits it into two.

There's a bunch of discussion on the packet format here:

Thanks @kelvie

I managed to capture the commands sent to the monitor from the UI. I was wondering if you could point me to the sequence I would need to send to the monitor to replicate the same request.

usb - dp - hdmi2 - hdmi1.zip

From the file, the requests:

• Works with Gigabyte M32QC #7 sets the input to USB
• Works with M27q #9 sets the input to Display port
• Works with M32Q #11 sets the input to hdmi 2
• #13 sets the input to hdmi 1
