Panasonic Viera I2C port comms
Hello,
I'm doing a bit of a holiday project and I basically want to be able to control my plasma TV through the I2C port? I'm having trouble finding any information whatsoever on communicating through this port as I assume it's for diagnostics only and not really meant to be used by the average joe. The model is TH50PV500A. Does anyone have any information on the protocol used, I2C addresses and the like? Does anyone know if there is any software available for communicating to the TV and what it is called or how one would get a hold of it? In a worst case, I can just get my CRO on and figure out what is going on if I have SOMETHING that talk to it. Thanks for any help in advance!! Kind Regards John |

Panasonic Viera I2C port comms
The I2C port is primarily for chip-to-chip communication. It's unlikely it
can be used for anything other than diagnostics. |

I'm not talking about the RS232 port. I wish my TV had one as it would make my life a hell of a lot easier!! It's quite possible that I may not be able to achieve what I am trying to do through the I2C port, but I'd at least like to know what can be done through it first. It looks like it's just a generic Panasonic service port, so I'm guessing there must be a standard Panasonic service suite to talk to it. Anyway, any help would be great!!! |
