DALI-2 serial protocol decoding

Post by mwagner »

Hi @all,

I'm trying to decode DALI bus messages using the DALI serial decoding function. This works for DALI 8 and 16 bit messages, but not for DALI-2 24 Bit messages, those are just marked as "invalid". When using manchester decoding, 24 bit messages are shown correctly (but not DALI decoded).

Have I configured something wrong or is DALI-2 just not implemented? Can I somehow extend the decoder so that this works?

Thanks!

Hi mwagner,

Sorry for the long delay in answering. I have been off work for different reasons, and only just caught up with a heavy workload, and backlog of Helpdesk tickets.

Unfortunately, Dali-2 is not implemented in our Serial Decoding yet. We are looking to do that some time next year.

Regards,

Hello,

I would also be interested in support for DALI-2.
Especially for the 6-color message decoding.
At the moment the decoder showas a lot of "Special Command" messages which are hard to interpret.
E.g. this sequence controls Group 0 to be 0%R 0%G 0%B 100%White but its not decoded, see attached image and psdata record.

If you could add that support would be super great.
