Programming devices

How Tinkerbus loads a project device into a real device, the safety checks, and which devices are verified.

Tinkerbus can write the application program, the parameters and the group address links of a project device into a real KNX device. This is the part of the software that changes your installation, so it comes with checks, and with an honest list of what has been tried.

  • Safety: what stops you from sending or writing by accident
  • Workflow: check, back up, write, verify, in the application and on the command line
  • Verified masks: the device families that have been loaded on real hardware, and what is open for each
  • Partial downloads: parameters only, group communication only, or both

Safety

The switches, confirmations and checks that stand between you and a changed device or a telegram on the bus.

Workflow

Step by step: check the device, back it up, load it, verify the result.

Verified masks

The mask versions Tinkerbus can load, what was tested on real hardware, and what is still open.

Partial downloads

Load only the parameters, only the group communication, or both, with knxprogram -partial.
