1/4+10/20-13 @ DMX 78 - this sends a value of 78 to channels 1 to 4 and 10 to 20 but not 13.
1/4+10/20-23 @ 50 - would send a value of 128 to those channels (50=50%).
1/4+10/20-23 @@ - this sets the channels to full on same as 100 or DMX 255.
1/4+10/20-23 @ ON - this sets the channels to full on same as 100 or DMX 255.
1/4+10/20-23 @ FULL - this sets the channels to full on same as 100 or DMX 255.
1/4+10/20-23 @ OFF - this sets the channels to zero.
1/4+10/30-23/26 @ 100 - this is slightly different in that it has an include of channels 10 to 30 but excluding channels 23 to 26.

The cost of development and price of the software way out weighs the development cost of freestyler and its addons.
The IP app was suggested by another user and is not connected with FS. But FS plasmas telnet and my half finished projects have all been kindly donated to you at the cost of our selves and time.
Not to mention the great support of Matt and DJ Support for there hosting and all the other moderators time and effort as well.
If you want a free app pay apple $99 a year for the privilege of the SDK, and write your own. Or find a viable free app which some one can implement into freestyler.
The TCPIP app is just that, very easy to interface with, been developed for PC consoles and high customizable.
And what your probably getting paid to use FS and the remote interface 3.99 is made in the first 30 seconds.
I'am having a problem using the "channel 1 @ 200" command (or other channels and values). It doesn't seem to do anything at all with the latest fs release.
Any idea's?

It might be that the value is a percentage value rather than a DMX value, see if it works at 100 and below.
Can't say have not tried it, but that is very common with command line interfaces for lighting controllers.
The channel command is half implemented, in that it recogises the string and splits them, but i was unable to send it ti fs in a format it could read, and therfore was droped.
Im having a hard time getting this to work. I downloaded the server and when I test it with FS it does not react to the command given. I had an earlier version of FS installed on another computer and it did responded to few commands but not all of them. When I updated to the newest version it stopped working completely. I'm I missing something here?
A new beta has been posted with a fix (edited 1st Post), it hasn't been fully tested as i hadn't had time. but blackout, start cue so its likely the others will too.
Please test and post any findings that don't work.
its a simple matter of copying and pasting the commands into my source code.
if you would like to go through the list or add a chunk of extra commands. write them in this format and i can copy paste into the code and upload for you.
hshTable.Add("selectAll", "0");
for the toggle all fixtures "Select all is the name iv given to the command" my naming convention is to start with lowercase and use a capital letters to break up words instead of spaces.
this is then followed by the command number (the number after WM_User,) so in this case would be 0.
To control freestyler you need the tcpip app, this allows you to control sequences blackout overides etc.
Luminar is a standalone controler but uses fs as a link to your lighting
it is unable to comunicate and usE ur fs sequences.
it never has worked, it was dropped as i was unable to get c# to pass the memory position to VB.
Im amusing that focus command just opens the focus window.
Freestyler can now be controlled using your Iphone or ipod touch over wifi.
Using the TCP/IP app and the Freestyler TCPIP Server.

Latest version: 17-Feb 2010 version 1.7 for freestyler 3.8 and above
Freestyler TCPIP Server.rar
Source Code 1.6 - Messy but works (ish) Please feel free to improve!
Freestyler TCPIP Server.rar
Previous Version 1.6 for bellow FS 3.8
Freestyler TCPIP Server.rar
CH x @ xxx command not supported
Just noticed that it says ...
for freestyler 3.8 and above
or
for below FS 3.8
it could very well be, it was 3.28 that was noted for the changes in the send message system. if it was 2.8 when the changes were made then il update the link
Iv had a good look over it but cannot get my head round unmanned marshaling.
If any one can find a working example that works with FS written in c# then i will gladly add it, the majority of the code is done, its just the marshaling which is probably under 10 lines of code at best.
I don't know what iv done. or even how to replicate it. but an old sample i sent to raph to look through worked. If i can find the old source code then iv cracked it.
All is saved....Thanks to red gates .net reflector
It was able to reverse engineer the working server version i found back into source code.
So the next version will support ch xx @ xxx
The code is below for c# incase any one else or myself need refrence to this.
All the commands are maximum of 255 rather then 100%. this is the way raph has set it. I could have the server convert it on the fly but the resolution would suffer.
