EPSON Ballast Bypass (SCI 5 Pins)

[comdek]

Hello all,


I´m working in a EPSON S10+ projector to bypass the Lamp Check process. Verifying the ballast, that uses 5 pins and UART protocol.

In OSRAM site, I´ve found a document with the USART commands to communicate between projector and ballast.

I´m starting to work to create a "emulator" using PIC microcontroller, but first i´m start to capture the data.

If anyone trying to do this too, please welcome 😀

There is the document:

UNISHAPE | Tools | OSRAM
Unishart is the Application to configure the lamp (ballast).


Thanks
Comdek

Solved the problem.

I´ve just removed the old bulb from reflector and installed a HCI-T 150W bulb.


Model:
Osram powerball hci-t 150w

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Just crack the outside glass using a ahesive tape and a hammer and get the bulb.
