I was working on a project this week that is using a multitude of AJA Kumo routers. While the routers themselves are brilliant, the API documentation is less than desirable. After digging through the API example code, I uncovered a great little text dump call that gives me all of the IDs.<\/p>\n
I’ve put the source code to the python script on GitHub.<\/p>\n
https:\/\/github.com\/szumlins\/Scripts\/blob\/master\/kumo.py<\/a><\/p>\n The script requires the requests<\/a> library for python. Easiest way to get requests is to use pip<\/a> to install.<\/p>\n You can get the help output by running the -h flag:<\/p>\n You can also get output of all the error codes by running the -e flag<\/p>\n So for example, to get what the source of destination 1 is, we can run a relatively simple command.<\/p>\n This responds by telling us that the source for this destination is input 3. If we want to change the source for that destination, we run another simple command to set the source.<\/p>\n This tells us that destination 1 is now set to source 1.<\/p>\n I found that using this we can use simple tools like Arduino\/Raspberry Pi systems to control KUMO routers without heavy scripting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I was working on a project this week that is using a multitude of AJA Kumo routers.
