LCD Smartie

I'm using YAC on all my PCs on my network. When a call comes in a popup occurs on all the PCs with CallerID info.

It would be nice to be able to get that callerID info to pop up on the LCD.

...if at least i knew c++

Still no takers on this?

I know lots of C++, though I normally focus on Linux and microcontroller development. Windows is ugly, but doable.

YAC uses a very simple format, and making a "listener" (as they call it) would be a cinche. I haven't even looked at the plugin development kit for Smartie yet, but I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to make a small "listener" that would both perform an "action" when a message is received and would make the data (text or name/number) available.

Is there significant interest in this? I wouldn't mind getting my hands dirty (it's a slow semester in school ).

I would be interested in this!

This can't be so hard to do for someone who can a little C, just take text from port 10629 and present it on the display.

Sadly I can't speak C, so I'll have to wait for some good willed person to write it.

I did a little research on this a few months ago. From what I read you can only read in caller ID data (using a modem) when your on hook. So you would have to answer the call first to see who it is. It doesnt make much sense to me; please let me know if this is wrong.

That is not correct, Called ID is sent between first and second ring. You don't have to answer. I know because I have a callerid unit here.

I would also be interested in this plug-in, especially if this plug-in can be made to "take over" what screen is showed and push the YAP-info on the LCD-screen (for a specified amount of time).

Janlev you are correct. I messed around with it more a few weeks ago but didnt really start a plugin. That was my intention but no time right now.
