VegardK Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I have a customer that has a LG OLED55B7V and I am unable to find any drivers, and I am not familiar with LG. So not sure if there is another driver I can use? Are there IP drivers or only IR? Update: The LG OLED55B7P driver worked fine with using minijack to minijac cable. Both ends of cables should be • DB9 Pin 3 (TX) to 3.5mm Tip• DB9 Pin 2 (RX) to 3.5mm Ring• DB9 Pin 5 (GND)to 3.5mm Sleeve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there IP drivers or only IR? i don't see any specifically for that model but there are 3 serial drivers for its cousins so IMO there is an excellent chance one of those 3 will work just fine, may be region specific models (speculation) https://drivers.control4.com/solr/drivers/browse?q=OLED55b7* unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you feel about this) they are all serial drivers and on that model the serial port is a 1/8" phone plug so depending on what type of controller RS-232C (Control / SVC) 1 (Phone Jack Type) you are hooking it up to you may need 1 of 3 different cables to connect it's serial port.

Thank you the controller is going to be a new EA1. So minijack out on RS232 then should be fine. But I will need to rewire a standard minijack to minijack cable? I guess a standard 3 wire minijack cable is not wired properly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember from earlier that pin 2 and 3 is oposite on the C4 end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukas.polivka Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 This works too (for all webOS 3.x TVs) https://annex4.link/drivers/lg-webos-smarttv You'll get mini app drivers (Netflix etc.) and some interesting features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukas.polivka Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Wrt serial pinout - if you are connecting it to one of the EA controllers' TRS minijack serial ports, you can just use a regular stereo audio cable. The EA minijack ports can switch Rx/Tx. The option is in System Design, on the EA controller driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
