I aim to display the current HeaterShaker temperature to the user. The temperature will be displayed on a dashboard, so the user is aware that the temperature is too high to start the desired workflow.
I am already using Firmware commands to receive the current maintenance status. I know that the STARService Tool uses firmware commands to connect to the HeaterShaker.
Is it possible to use firmware command without using the STARService Tool or the Venus Software to connect to the HeaterShaker and receive the temperature?
If you have a HHS, you should have the heater shaker library. You can find the FW commands for querrying the HHS in the hsl file.
If you can manage to query the maintenance status of your STAR without Hamilton software I would imagine you can query a HHS the same. However, this probably only works if the HHS is directly plugged into the STAR. If you have more than 2 HHS they are plugged into an external box and I have no idea how to communicate with that one (though I assume the HHS library hsl also gives some indication in that regard).
